This is a very short novella or actually, a prequel for a popular series by this author (from what I have read) called the Children of Titan series or TitanBorn. This prequel takes us to the very beginning of the circumstances that occur when an asteroid is on course to hit the Earth and it is going to be the end of the world/planet as we know it.

Apparently, there is one individual in charge of selecting the 3000 people that will be given the privilege of escaping from this oncoming disaster and becoming passengers on a space ship whose purpose is to find another planet to escape to that is capable of life in order to save the human race. That man is Darien Trass and he is a billionaire scientist.

This is a VERY short story - 50 minutes long - and it is narrated by Greg Tremblay. I enjoyed the narrator. I was VERY surprised that for such a short story, that it packs quite a punch, both in the actual story told and in the insight that we get into the character of this one man.

I went and looked to see if I had ever read anything by this author in the past and discovered that I had read one story and it was also a short story. Based on my reaction to this prequel, I definitely WOULD be very interested to continue onward with this series to find out what happens to these people and how the efforts and actions of one man impacted their future. The fact that it peaked my interest and made me curious says quite a lot.

That is quite the feat for a 50 minute short story.

I have listened to 2 other Books in this series and could not pass on this short.

Now I have to see if there are more from the beginning to listen too.

Left wanting more

Somewhat predictable, but nevertheless a good short read. It led me to seek out the rest of the series.

Decent

I love the Titan series. The side story does not disappoint. I would love to see more side stories for this series. Sci fi at its best!

This side story is incredible!

Wish I had listened to this before the series. I mean, it has some spoilers I think. But overall it was great to get this insight.

Helpful backstory

A great start to understanding the titan series. If this story was only nominated for the nebula award I’d like to read the stories that won!

Fantastic!

On a whim I decided to listen to Interview for the End of the World while I went for a walk. What an awesome decision. I had expected it would be a postapocalyptic story, but I hadn’t expected it to be a sci-fi/space centered story. I’ve previously read and listened to several other Rhett Bruno stories, but none of the Titan Universe stories. That’s a mistake I intend on correcting sooner than later. Greg Tremblay does an excellent job delivering the story and creating voices for the three main characters.

Not what I expected, but it was even better!

What a wonderful story depicting the background story of the man and his attitude that started this story in reference to the Circuit series that follows.
I enjoyed every minute of it and plan on listening to it again.
Thank you Rhett for your endless talent.

EDIT:
After having had listened to this short but powerful story a second time, it occurred to me that I needed to remind everyone I could just how brilliant and insightful Rhett Bruno is.

It’s really a shame he elected to be an author instead of a scientist or a leading edge surgeon/doctor or even a politician who could speak common sense to so many politicians that have none, zero.

This story was of a man who struggled with his conscience, with every decision, with every life n his hands. In the end he decided to join the masses, the ones who would eventually suffer from his conscientious decisions.

Does that sound familiar?
Isn’t that what our president should do? Isn’t that what every elected official should do, instead of vying for power and riches?

I mean how rich is enough?
There’s a time when there’s a job to do. For the people, for the constituents.
Being elected to office isn’t a “whew, I got here, now let’s have some fun!” ticket.

Sacrifice is what it takes, just like Mr. Darien Trass sacrificed himself.
I’m not saying throw yourself on your sword, just do the job you were meant to.

It’s not too late!

I apologize Mr. Bruno if I’m reading more into your story than you intended, just like I did long ago with “The Roach”, but whether you intend to consciously or not, you write strong messages.

To everyone else, this is a very short story that reads really long.
Please read it. Read it more than once like I was able too.

Thank you Mr. Bruno for being one of few authors that I know of that are capable of just about anything.
