![]() The plot description makes it sound like this is an old-school, hard science-fiction novel, in which brave, competent men collaborate to solve earth’s problems with technical brilliance and know-how, cheered on by decorative female helpmates. The Effort is led by American scientist Ben Schwartz with emotional and logistical support from his girlfriend, a scientific human resources expert named Amy. Instead, it sets in motion a furious, multinational, UN-coordinated plan to knock the comet UD3 out of orbit using a rocket with a nuclear payload. Unlike that eagle, though, humanity does not give up. The novel is about what happens when a comet is discovered on course for earth, and expected to strike in less than a year. ![]()
