This book sounds fascinating. I like the concept of trying to reverse the damage done to our planet. You had me hooked at that quote.

Environmental Scifi stories are problematic. They rely on much speculation and hysteria to be absolute and it is often exaggerated for drama, meanwhile many professional climatologists argue this hysteria is unfounded. However, maybe this book won't fall into the same traps.

Based on the summary, I wasn't feeling into this book. While I love science fantasy, I'm picky about my science fiction. Your review goes a little deeper into William's struggle as the protagonist, which does make me want to give this title a try. I hope I'll enjoy it as much as you did. Thanks for your insight!

The fate of our planet and the damage humans have done to it is a very real theme, as well as a protagonist that suffers from PTSD. I look forward to reading this, to see how he becomes the leader and hero he is supposed to be.

Sometimes past failures can really hunt us. But as long as there is life, there is hope. Its always appropriate to use the second chance. A very good review. Thanks.

Great review Kelebogile Mbangiy. I will definitely download and read this one even though sci-fi is not my usual genre. Thanks for the review.

Great review! I think it's timely to delve into the effects of global warming. To mix it in a dystopian fiction would be interesting. I would love to know more about William's involvement in UNIRO.

I like your review and the plot is different from other science fiction novels that I have read. The plot reminds me of the movie Interstellar where one man in the middle of nowhere must rise to the challenge and protect Earth. I like the addition of the environmental terrorist group and some of their logic does make sense.

Sounds like a rare piece of scifi that I might connect with.

Great review. The book sounds fascinating and interesting. William- the Hope GIVER -who lived in isolation for 6 years joined UNIRO to reverse the damage done to planet Earth and protect it from the violent Terra Nova.

Suspense and science fiction are a great combination in novels. I also enjoy books that bring attention to environmental issues. This is a growing concern in the world. This sounds like an enjoyable book, and your review was very thorough and pleasant to read.

Thank you for the great review! This book definitely sounds intriguing and I cannot wait to read my copy of the book. I love how it relates to current events going on in today's society. It will be interesting to read the authors take on this to see if its fixable or not.

I liked the description of the main character and that you felt he was well developed. It seems he would be someone to root for and I hope that in the long run (if sequels address the cliffhanger) he ends up making wise decisions for where he will stand. an excellent review.
