Apocalyptic futures is a common theme in sci-fi books right now. the fact that the events of this one happen four years from now is even more compelling. I'm going to add this to my list.

We always in one way or the other live under the threat of losing our planet. This book takes that and make it even bigger by putting humanity in a place where the difficult questions need to be asked and even more difficult choices need to be made. It's a chaos but immensely thought-provoking.

"Exodus" by Jean Hackensmith & Joseph McDowell is a gripping science fiction novel depicting Earth's impending destruction and the desperate search for a new planet. Throughout the book, characters like Garret Long and President Rebecca McCann emerge as heroes, showcasing bravery, sacrifice, and leadership as they navigate the challenges of survival in the face of catastrophe.

Congratulations to the author for receiving the BOTD honor. I’m going to pass on this story because it’s a apocalyptic novel that’s set to happen in 4 years, current time.

What would you do if a neutron star was headed straight for Earth and the world would end within five years? Exodus is a dystopian science fiction novel featuring astrophysicists striving to invent antimatter propulsion technology in order to send a limited amount of people into space to find a new home. Will the Aquarius Mission be a success? Excellent, informative book review!

In the way the book is described in the review, it sounds fabulous and just right up my alley, because not only Sci-Fi/Fantasy is my favorite genre among them all, but it is also my belief that at some point in the future humanity will have to leave the Earth to survive. However, considering how we are going, I think it will be an ecological catastrophe before any astronomical event. Sincere congratulations on BOTD!

What would I do if I knew the world would come to an end in five years? I am not certain at the moment but the question is a thought-provoking one. The fact that the authors are able to make readers connect with every character in the book is a fascinating aspect. This is a must-read. Many thanks for the review.

Exodus is an astonishing sci-fi book that provides a white-knuckle competition against the clock. It examines the aspects of human perseverance and creativity when confronting an estimated danger. Congrats on #BOTD!

Good job on this review. It provides a wide exposure to the plot of the book. The question, "What will you do if you knew the world will end in 5 years?" made me wonder if I even have an answer to that.
The book sounds like a very intriguing one with astrophysics, space shuttles, and the study of the solar system included inside. Having very little knowledge when it comes to these topics, I'm eager to check out the book at the earliest.
Congrats to the author on BOTD.

Sounds like a book I'm going to be reading soon. Will humanity rise to the occasion with an impending Apocalypse or will we fall in defeat to our foreseen destruction....😱

"Exodus" sounds like a captivating sci-fi adventure, especially with the unique collaboration between the authors. The premise of a neutron star threatening Earth adds an intriguing layer of tension. I'm curious to see how the characters navigate this perilous situation and whether they can save humanity in time.
