Review
It’s been awhile since I got to read a great sci-fi novel. And wow, this book did not disappoint! It’s funny, interesting and filled with all the science and math it takes to make it a great space book.
This book is about Ryland Grace, a man stranded in space with no idea how he got there. All he knows is that his crew is dead, he’s light years away from Earth and he is there to find out why something is eating the sun’s energy. With death around every corner, Grace isn’t certain he has what it takes to complete the mission alone… But he might not be alone out there after all…
This book was AWESOME! I could not get enough of it! I loved the adventure, the science was too cool and it was a great science fiction for boys 16 and up. Seriously, the author wrote such a great world outside of Earth that I just could not put the book down!
Now, there are adult topics in the book. Mention of suicide. (The crew were not going to be able to make it back to Earth so they each planned their death) Mention of violence. (Blood, wounds and such) Mention of ‘ex. (Nothing is described, but it is mentioned and brought up 2 or 3 times. Just conversation) There is also cursing in the book. (All the curse words sadly. I just took a pen and crossed them all out.)
Overall, I loved this novel sooooo much! I will be re-reading it and I can’t wait to read The Martian by Andy Weir next!!! Happy Reading!
Pros
- An AMAZING SCI-FI!!!
- Great for boys 16 and up!!!!
- Also a great movie!
Cons
- Adult topics.
- Curse words.
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission—and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish.
Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.
All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.
His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.
And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone.
Or does he?
