On the day after the last Thanksgiving holiday of the twentieth century, the world waits breathlessly for the Hubble Space Telescope to record pictures of the unprecedented impact of the rogue planet... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I'm definitely looking forard to getting the next book in this series. I didn't think it was slow paced, and I enjoyed learning about each of the characters. This is a must read if you enjoy apocalypse adventures.
Apocalyptic Fiction At Its Best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
First, I love apocalyptic fiction. Like most authors, however, I'm a bit picky. (g) I discovered Yvonne Navarro when one of the readers on my message board recommended her. I was not disappointed. FINAL IMPACT and its sequel RED SHADOWS are apocalyptic fiction at its best. They are fast paced, with great characters, and a story line that will make you shudder. I highly recommend both.
Exciting SF/Horror Novel

I recommend this book. I loved the characters, who must struggle with a terrible circumstance facing them. And what could be more frightening than the end of the world? Humane, exciting, intriguing. Well worth the price and the time. I'll probably read it again!
Escape death..I'd rather die in this scenario
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
i really enjoyed this book> but then i always love books that have an apocalyptic theme> the only thing i didn"t really like was the fact that the characters in the book often escaped harms way by way of "POWERS" I like it better when people get out of messes with wit,luck,skill, and strenght. In this novel people get out of messes with various pcycic abilities. It is difficult to get a hold of this book. Most online retailers do not have any in stock. All in all if you want to escape your drab life..lol...read this book. it will take you on a cool adventure for a couple of days
Grad your ankles and kiss the Earth good-bye!

Earth gets hit by an asteroid and gets destroyed. Simple concept, right? Wrong. Navarro weaves a complex tapestry of over a dozen characters and several plot threads. The fateful asteroid, Millennium, doesn't even make its presence known until 100 pages into the book, by which point she has made her characters so vivid, so alive, that you are praying for their survival through the horrors of their everday lives before you even start to worrry about that damned asteroid. It's an amazing feat. This novel isn't straight science fiction -- it's a mix of SF, horror, the supernatural, and some mystery as well. It's also amazing writing. After reading FINAL IMPACT, you'll want to call everyone you know to make sure they're still alive, and that the world hasn't really been destroyed
