I love reading books about the Earth's destruction, as they enable me to prod people's minds and how they would respond to a threat of extinction of the human species. Thank you for the review.

I believe the story of Exodus is something I would enjoy watching more than reading especially since there’s so much science involved. It is a thrilling plot indeed, but I prefer a visual. Congrats on the BOTD!

I have come across many books about earth destruction and people looking for another planet to inhibit. It is crazy how far we've come. I'd like to read how this author approaches the problem.

"Exodus" by Jean Hackensmith & Joseph McDowell is a gripping sci-fi narrative depicting Earth's impending doom from a neutron star. Astrophysics plays a crucial role as survivors plan for a new planet. Characters like astrophysicist Garret Long and President Rebecca McCann shine amidst the crisis. Thorough research and compelling storytelling earn it 5 stars. This is a very informative and honest review. Thank you.

The novel "Exodus" tells a fictional story where the earth will be destroyed within five years and the search for a new planet by the survivors. And in this short time, astrophysicists think to prepare, plan technology for the next five years. It is an interesting story, where the author invites us to think about how we can face the destruction of the earth.

The impending destruction of Earth and the race to find a new planet for survival make for a thrilling plot. I admire the authors' meticulous attention to scientific accuracy, especially in astrophysics. The characters, particularly Garret Long and President McCann, seem well-developed and relatable. The book's exploration of moral complexities and sacrifices resonates deeply.

Roberts review of exodus makes the book interesting, but he doesn't mention the ship's fate, and doesn't really say what happens to the planet. also, when i do reviews i get pounded really good for not saying anything about the profanity, or if the book is offensive to religion or not. i know this sounds silly, but i always get pounded really badly when i leave information like that out of my review. also, the review didn't say if the grammar was flawless, or not.
the book exodus sounds interesting, but i don''t like it when they use real people or places in novels. also, I find it amusing that the president is a woman. so, i suppose that that was supposed to be a swipe about what the future of America will be like.
