This review is complete and thorough. Impact is a science fiction action driven, suspenseful adventure. This story shows how one dangerous mistake can snowball. The satellites are down, scattered debris everywhere and the action begins. What is that object up there? Tamarind and his friends from the Pan-national Leadership Institute are facing these problems. I like that the characters are described in great detail. The conflict is a peek into the space exploration and the genius of the friends to fix the problems. There is details of research, great capabilities of these friends and even romance too. Also there is the question of the existence of extraterrestrial life to keep you interested. This review pulls you in and gets you excited for future books as well. I like that there are no errors or grammar issues to confuse the readers in this informative space adventure. A great review and BOTD!

The review is informative. Space is a completely different world to work in, let alone make a mistake there. The story sounds exciting. Science fiction with a bit of romance. A plot worth a read. Congrats on BOTD

Honestly just by reading the review I feel I already know the story by how it was written and kind imagined myself there on the moon. Never knew space fictional would be this interesting honestly. :D

Impact" by Mark D. Owen, a book that features planets explorations, satellites, and scientists. It will be interesting to find out how these scientists were able to explore space. It is an interesting book to read.

Impact by Mark D. Owen is an exciting and thought-provoking science fiction novel. The review brings to life a world knocked to its knees by space debris, with heroine Tamarind Chase having the Herculean task of saving Earth's orbit with groundbreaking technology. His personal struggle—haunted by the death of a friend and driven by obligation—adds a very human touch to the high-stakes plot.

I was particularly intrigued by the fantastical character names like Tamarind and Flax, which appear to signal the mystery surrounding the Pan-National Leadership Institute. The combination of action, science, mystery with a dash of romance seems to make the novel a nice-balanced, engaging read cover to cover.

It's incredible how the writer uses realistic timeframes and current technological concepts to keep the tale realistic, so that the narrative feels possible even when the world is post-apocalyptic. The critic's praise on the writing and editing style also suggests an easy and readable book.

Overall, Impact appears to blend intense action and emotional depth into a tale of responsibility, imagination, and what humanity can achieve. The plot of action, the hard science, and the greater implications of alien life and human collaboration leave me wanting to read this book. Thanks ever so much for suggesting this insightful review!

I really enjoyed Impact! The mix of science, suspense, and emotional depth kept me hooked from the start. Tamarind’s journey—especially his guilt over Kohlrabi’s death and his determination to fix things—was powerful. The space tech felt so real, and the twists with the mysterious object were intense. Definitely one of the more thought-provoking sci-fi books I’ve read!

Thought provoking and mind bending sounds about right. I don’t much think of myself as a fan of sci-fi, but after reading this review, I know that’s about to change. This books sounds like it will be a challenge in the best way possible. Even now, I’m struggling to wrap my head around some of the concepts and themes mentioned in this review. I can only imagine how much more intense it will get when I actually start reading the book, and I’m so excited for it! Brilliant review.

It's an interesting premise. I'm uncertain of the time-frame of this occurring in reality, but it surely serves to highlight the careless attitude of humans under the pretext of development and progress, which can soon threaten basic survival. Thank you for the informative review.

"Extraordinary human capabilities and groundbreaking research" sound exciting; this book will really teach you a lot about the technological advances that are yet to appear and the outer space along with the research of a possible extraterrestrial existence. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

A thought provoking and mind bending science fiction story can be found in the book "Impact" by Mark D. Owen. The story follows a self-sustaining cascading debris field throughout the earth’s orbit, destroying all satellites.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.
