Kepler-438b

By W.D. Smart

Book Overview

Human life on Earth was entering its death throes. The Earth itself, having long suffered the abuse of human pollution, seemed to have given up. The ozone layer was all but gone, weather patterns around the globe were erratic and extreme, oceans expelled tons of dead and dying sea life on beaches every day, ground water was drying up, crops failed regularly and earthquakes were becoming more and more frequent. It was as if the Earth itself was trying to slough off a malignant growth. Humans seemed to ignore all these signs and continued to concentrate their efforts on waging their wars against each other, most of which were fought to gain control over the rapidly dwindling resources, but many still were waged under the banner of supremacy of one God's love over all others'.Kepler-438b tells the story of one of mankind's last efforts to save his species. It records the voyage and mission of one of the three final spaceships launched before the final fall of Earth whose mission was to establish a viable, self-sufficient, self-perpetuating colony on an exoplanet almost five-hundred light-years from Earth's solar system: Kepler-438b.

Kepler-438B is one of my favorites. It is a terrific book with a complex, thought provoking plot tha

I truly liked the fact that the book provides a theme which is filled with unique plot twists, challenging events and personal decisions that inherently confront the characters from the beginning of their journey to the end of the mission. To cultivate life on an earth like planet is their goal. For me the realism of both the mechanics of the space craft and the required roles each individual must play, stimulated my imagination and sense of being part of the crew as each member's destiny unfolded. To me the ultra-sophisticated and the human like computer system was the guiding light for the preservation of the crew and the mission. When an unforeseen adversary advanced, the plot thickened as characters showed resolve to protect and preserve the mission, as well as each other. I absolutely feel the conclusion reveals how each character has played his part before the closing curtain ends the story.
