Your enthusiasm for Exodus is infectious and adds a valuable perspective for potential readers looking for a story that combines intense scientific scenarios with deep human emotions and decisions.

Your review was great! You gave a very detailed description of the novel and what you liked about the characters. Exodus sounds like a very interesting book for those who like sci-fi.

I am interested to read this gripping story narrating the possible end of the earth. I can't imagine reading about characters in the book doing their level best to stop Ulysses or put in place mechanisms to move living organisms to the next planet. Am excited to prove my imaginations right. A great book it should be.

This book has a great plot. The fact that the star may impact the earth in 2028 adds great urgency. What are we still doing here? This may be a good place to start reading science fiction. The 5-star review makes it tempting for me to take the plunge. Great review!

Exodus by Jean Hackensmith is science fiction about the destruction of Earth and the search for a new planet, which I find interesting. It would be interesting to know how an astrophysicist uses his intelligence on this mission. Congratulations on BOTD!!

This reminds me of some apocalypse-themed movie. The idea of leaving Earth and living on a new planet has always captivated me. I might just give it a shot. Thank you for your review!

I enjoyed the book thoroughly, finding nothing to dislike. The book makes the reader ask themselves, "What will you do if you know the world will end in 5 years?" It's a beautiful and interesting read. I must commend the editor for doing a good job because the book is exceptionally edited.
 
I give the book 5 out of 5 stars for its imaginative and scientific narrative. Even for those who do not understand the basics of astrophysics or space travel, the narrative makes it easy to follow and understand. It makes us question ourselves and wonder if we would have made the same decision if we were in that position. I recommend this book to all lovers of science fiction and, generally, everyone who loves a good story to immerse themselves in a scenario where the Earth is destroyed and we have to live on a different planet.
That's a fascinating, if slightly scary, question. And I'm glad the authors made it easy for those of us who are not too science-savvy. Thank you for your great review.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this compelling narrative. The characters like Garrett Long and President Rebecca McCann really show the rich layers and depth of science fiction. This genre helps us look closely at what we value and the decisions we make. Congratulations to the author, #BOTD!

I got to know of an interesting field of study in this story—astrophysicist. I've not heard about it before, so I'm interested to know what they study. It'll also be interesting to read about saving the world through finding another planet.

"Exodus" by Jean Hackensmith @ Joseph McDowell is a science fiction novel. The story revolves around the planet Earth, which is on the verge of destruction due to a huge collision that will completely destroy it. Garrett Long and his team embark on a journey to find a new, safe planet where humanity can survive. Will they succeed in this mission and find a habitable planet? The plot of this book reminded me of the TV series "The 100," which I enjoyed watching. I am looking forward to reading this book as it has a similar storyline. Congratulations on BOTD!

Science fiction author Jean Hackensmith and author Joseph McDowell's book Exodus. The plot concerns how Earthlings are getting ready to search for a new planet in case a neutron star wipes out their home world. It sounds like a really interesting book.

Post by Cristina-Ioana Toader »

If I knew the world was ending in five years, I'd probably spend the first four years procrastinating and convincing myself I have plenty of time left. Then, in a panic during the final year, I'd try to cram in all the things I've been putting off, only to realize I should have started earlier. So, I guess I'd spend the last few months frantically trying to learn how to build a spaceship out of cardboard boxes and duct tape. :D

This sic-fi book addresses the question of what we would do if the our planet were to end in 5 years. In a world doomed to destruction, heroes make their appearance and evil alliances are born. What captivates most is those characters whose altruism and love for humanity make the different in critical moments.

The plot focuses on the impending destruction of Earth and the survivors' search for a new planet. The five-year deadline gives it a sense of urgency that seems well managed in the plot. The inclusion of astrophysics in the story is attractive. Sounds interesting.
