Forget comfort. "Extinction: Incoming!" is an ice-cold wake-up call wrapped in hard science. Meet Dan Cartwright – not a hero, but an Oregon forester grounded in stars, rocks, and predictable rhythms. His world shatters when he spots "The Wanderer," a statistical blip on his telescope data that becomes horrifyingly real: an extinction-level asteroid locked on Earth.
This isn't Hollywood fantasy. It's terrifyingly plausible science: hypervelocity impacts fracturing continents, global tsunamis, atmospheric incineration ("impact winter"), and echoes of the dinosaur-killer Chicxulub crater. Humanity's response is a brutal indictment – bureaucratic gridlock at the UN, political infighting, denial followed by panic. Experts dismiss Dan as a crank; false reassurances flow until it's too late.
As "The Wanderer" grows in the sky, Dan's personal struggles – grief, addiction, disillusionment – collide with existential dread. His telescope transforms from wonder to grim observation. The book forces you confront our insignificance and our unique potential: cosmic dust capable of understanding its own annihilation... yet crippled by short-sightedness and denial.
This is profoundly disturbing, deeply human, and utterly gripping. It shatters the illusion of safety, leaving you staring at the night sky with new eyes – aware of the silent drifters in the dark and the fragile miracle of our existence. Hope isn't guaranteed salvation; it's found in bearing witness and understanding the threat itself.
The Wanderer isn't coming – it's already here, waiting for us to look up. Don't just read this book: let it shake your world. Understanding might be our only chance to defy extinction. Read "Extinction: Incoming!" now.
