I collect apocalyptic books, and my rule is the wackier, the better. Even so, this book was too wacky for me. It set off major bullshit detectors. Maybe you will find the writing style more credible and will disagree.

Here is the problem as I see it: the author builds a house of cards on a weak structure of supposition. He goes into elaborate detail about the top layer of the house of cards, while I am constantly nagged in the back of my mind that every single conclusion is based on a chain of supposition, each as improbable as the next, and it is HIGHLY unlikely that 100% of the suppositions are ALL correct.

And it was written before all those "asteroid-hits-the-Earth" movies came out. Might be interesting to see how much of the info for those movies came straight from books like these.

Sometimes I will read those "elaborate chain of supposition" books. You see the writing style a lot in the non-fiction books that back up the ideas in the Da Vinci Code, for instance. All the folks trying to find the Holy Grail or plumb beneath the layers of secrecy behind the Templars or the Cathars or the Masons and detect an occult conspiracy. I like to read those books, but it seems more credible to me for those books to get wacky, while the exact measurements of an asteroid strike are a bit more exacting than the location of the Holy Grail. LOL.
