I really liked this doomsday scifi thriller about how the government builds a giant solar satellite that is taken over by a crazy environmentalist group who proceeds to destroy cities and generally wreak havoc. The characters are better than most thrillers I've read, and the twists and turns were good fun. Apparently books about evil solar satellites is becoming a minor obsession of mine :-)
Overall pretty interesting book with a take on 2012 but with a very irritating character. He has to argue, drag his feet beyond reason, etc so you just want to scream "Just do it!" This characteristic tends to drag the book down and take you out of the storyline.
Yep, I did it. I read a book that I didn't like, and I stuck with it, and finished it, just to write a review.....
It's not BAD.....it's just not very good. At all.
It involves ecoterrorists, scientists, global warming, and it's just not Michael Crichton.

This started off as a pretty good read - thriller with some sci-fi concepts. But, about halfway through, it lost my interest. I kept on going and hurried through the rest, but I never regained my initial interest in it. The characters were not engaging, and I wasn't invested in them at all.
This is considered Science Fiction. I normally do not care for Science Fiction, but this is so well written that the unbelievable becomes believable. Wonderful story!
Spectacularly mediocre.
This is the first book I've read from David Hewson. This has a bit of science fiction, a genre I rarely read. But it's more of a thriller, so I'm classifying it as such. A great read with lots of suspense and great aerial scenes.
the book is good...easy to understand and link with...
maybe the book tells us something that will happen..who knows the military today find way to control the sun..this is a good book..i expect everyone to read it...
