Summary

A mysterious object threatens to destroy our solar system. The survival of humankind is at risk, but nobody takes the warning of young astrophysicist Maribel Pedreira seriously. At the same time, an exiled crew of outcasts mines for rare minerals on a lone asteroid.   

When other scientists finally acknowledge Pedreira's alarming discovery, it becomes clear that these outcasts are the only ones who may be able to save our world, knowing that the Hole hurtles inexorably toward the sun.

Excellent performance, I enjoyed the premise, but the prose was very simple and the climax anti-climactic.

Good performance with intriguing premise

I normally love these kind of books however, this book didn’t interest me much. I was really astonished by the narrator! I thought ‘oh wow there’s loads of narrators!’ Then I looked at the narrator and it’s just one person! He really impressed me, he’s the reason why I stayed with it, if it wasn’t for him then I would’ve been so bored of the story at chapter 1. The summary seems quite enjoyable but after hearing it , the story was not enjoyable. Definitely not worth paying for, it might interest you , some of the chapters were interesting but so sorry to say that it’s not for me, it might be for you though!

The concept ticked a lot of boxes for me, and I eagerly dived into this book. The story did not disappoint, from early on I wanted to see how this ended. Sadly, the writing was workmanlike at best. The characterisations and dialogue were especially bad. The players in this story seem to have been written by someone who doesn't get out much and can only imagine how people interact. Some of the behaviour exhibited later just does not fit the characters developed earlier on. The career focussed astronomer becoming a damsel in distress just didn't ring true and neither did the overwhelming, reason affecting, romance that developed between the main character and her cartoon counterpart. Cixin Liu this is not.

Exceptional story, unexceptionally told.

I read this and gave it five stars but I still have mixed feelings about this story. The way it’s written is kind of odd. I think it’s a mixture of maybe 1960s sci-fi with the current modern and the futuristic Mixing references to Current day science tools like JWST but then uses tech available today like FaceTimeing as if it were something new 50 years from now and uses references to places with names that would’ve been common 30 years ago our time, for instance like calling Beijing by the old name Peking. So while I did enjoy the story, I feel he must have been trying to give it what I can only describe as an art deco feel.
