Query: Awful... truly, truly awful.

This book appears to have been written by someone with no understanding of the rudiments of modern science. Most of the primary scientific ideas introduced to move the plot along are preposterous.The author is incapable of consistent characterization. I've met Barbie dolls with deeper personalities. The story overflows with minutiae in an attempt to create a feasible world, but most are irrelevant, and none give rise to a McGuffin. His use of real-life political figures and television news broadcasters does nothing to give a sense of greater reality to the plot, merely seeming gratuitous.This book is subtitled, "The Terrifying New Disaster Novel," which is correct on all counts, so it qualifies it for one star, simply for truth in advertising.The only editing that would have sufficed to improve this misguided attempt at literature would have been the judicious application of a can of lighter fluid.
