Re: Review of Exodus

I was a bit hesitant after reading the first four chapters of the sample of this book, Exodus, as I am not necessarily a lover of science fiction books , nor the topic of astrophysics...but I do love a good story! In your review, you alluded to altruism being displayed by Dr. Long and President McCann during this exodus which makes me even more interested in reading the rest of this book.

'Official Review: Exodus' by Jean Hackensmith @ Joseph McDowell provides readers with an appropriate knowledge of the plot of the science fiction story. It serves as a store of information for new readers. Readers would immerse themselves in a tale of science, sacrifice, hope, dedication, and survival. The point that the book tells us the story of the impending destruction of Earth and the search for a new planet by the survivors is worth mentioning in the review. Also, as mentioned in the review, the authors incorporate accurate scientific details especially astrophysics, space shuttles, and the study of solar system. Learning that their work reflects thorough research was great!

A sci-fi novel about the impending destruction of Earth in 2028 is very exciting as well as scary so I’m looking forward to digging into this book to find out what the author has to narrate regarding this gripping tale of science, sacrifice, hope, dedication, and survival.

"Exodus" by Jean Hackensmith @ Joseph McDowell is a story about how people on Earth are preparing to find a new planet before a neutron star destroys Earth. It's wonderful to see how the authors expertly blend science, sacrifice, and human relationships to create a compelling narrative. I'm looking forward to reading this book so it is on my shelf. Congratulations to the authors for BOTD.

Sometimes it is true, when they say love can do anything even taking huge risk's. We saw it with Garrett Long his love to Jennifer leaded to the saving of the whole entire town.

The title reminded me about the biblical story of Moses and all the Israelites departing from Egypt, but in this book, many of earths inhabitants were forced to stay behind. As I looked through the book, all I could say was, wow! what an incredible feat to accomplish? what gut wrenching decisions to make? out of the billions of people on planet earth, only 100,000 get to escape the pending destruction of the earth and everything in it. it was a fascinating book, cleverly put together and extremely engaging. I pray and hope that I never ever have to deal with such a dreadful situation as described in this book.

Phew! This has to be the first time a fictional novel engaged me in some moment of contemplation. Think it has a brilliant storyline. And for some of us who actually believe this world will spin its last someday, what would we do different if it were to end in 5 years? Obviously, it's a brilliant novel. And thanks for the review.

Jean Hackensmith's Exodus plunges us into a high-stakes scenario: a wandering neutron star that will be running us over in just fifty years. The story begins in 2023, with people around the world hurriedly preparing the departure ship that can take some to a new place in the stars.

I appreciate your note on relatability in this review. While apocalyptic story plots are grand and helpful for evaluating our coming days, I would appreciate the balance offered by the smaller and specific bits of humanity.

In most sci-fi novels, the search for a new planet seems to be a favorite theme, and this novel begins its story with the destruction of Earth and the survivors about to leave the Earth for another planet.

Thank you for the informative review. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I must say I was surprised because I don't care for science fiction books and usually found them very confusing, but I actually liked the sample too. I'm glad the editing was well done too. I'm curious to know if they find out what happened on the Aquarius. It sounds like a book to make you really think hard about life and everyone in the world.
