Cuando un hecho catastrófico convierte la Tierra en una bomba de relojería, se inicia una carrera desenfrenada contra lo inevitable. Las principales naciones del mundo elaboran un ambicioso plan para garantizar la supervivencia de la humanidad más allá de nuestra atmósfera. Pero los intrépidos pioneros sufren todo tipo de peligros imprevistos, hasta que solo queda un puñado de supervivientes...
Cinco mil años después, sus descendientes —siete razas diferenciadas que conforman una población de tres mil millones de personas— se embarcan en otro audaz viaje a lo desconocido, hacia un mundo alienígena totalmente transformado por el tiempo y los cataclismos: la Tierra.
I hated less than I enjoyed. Could have been great if it were under half as long.
This book had an incredible number of ideas, and in fact seems to be two books in one! Unfortunately, the second half of the book (book 2 as far as I'm concerned) ends without resolving anything and raises even more questions and mysteries than the whole rest of the book combined. I have no idea if there is going to be a follow-up book or something, but I'm very confused why this was not only one book but was structured in the way that it was.
That glaring issue aside, the story was very intriguing and complicated and stressful until book 2, at which point it became a faster-paced adventure story. It's a bit long-winded and difficult to get through, but it's a very nice specimen of hard science fiction that I found very interesting.
A good one for a hard science fiction fan. Lots of explanations of scientific and technical topics like orbital mechanics and genetics.
