This book has had a profound affect on my understanding of t

Like Franco, the information compiled from the research for this book affected me profoundly. The fragility of our planet as portrayed here is real. Once started I was compelled to finish. This book should be compulsory reading for all educators! I will be looking for other titles by Rock Brynner.

I dare you to put this one down!

First of all, this is a great inside look at the publishing business. There are a lot of big names mentioned that any reader will recognize both from the book world and motion picture world. The Doomsday Report starts in today's time and goes forward, envisioning a world that is affected by a book which accurately predicts the end of humanity through global warming in the next forty years. There is a disturbing scene in which 16 young men and women seize a restaurant and terrorize 26 customers along with over 20 employees in a night of violence filled with unspeakable acts. The horror of the night is captured on video by one of the gang members is shown on television to the point of saturation. A new craze on the highways replaces road rage - it is called Bomping. Bomping is when you drive down the wrong side of the road at speeds in excess of over 100 miles per hour and see if you can cross over to the far left lane and get back to the right hand lane, catchin! g the next exit. If successful you score 3 points. If not, well the doomsday clock is ticking anyway. If you happen to have a video camera mounted on your dash you can leave a legacy behind you on the news. Of course the book, known as The Belaqua Report is disputed and suspicion starts to grow as to what the motives really are behind the book.

Had to force myself realizing that it is only fiction. WOW!

My respect to Dr. Brynners latest work. In the first place it is his excellence of choosing the right words for a complex content. Those of us who read all his other novels appreciate Dr. Brynners talent of investigative poetry - and me (as probably many others as well) sometimes have to make sure that the Doomsday Report is Fiction. The story seems so real and is well researched in its details. It should make us all think and reflect what's going on on this planet. I couldn't put it down - the last page came too soon. Thank you, Dr. Brynner, for a lesson combined with highend entertainment!

One of the best books I have read in a long time

Entertaining and thought-provoking, The Doomsday Report offers the best of everything: it's a real page-turner, very well written, fascinating and hilariously funny, while challenging the ways you may think about this planet and one of the most important issues humanity has to face: global warming. I couldn't put it down.

gripping story of an all too real event:global warming!

Rock Brynner has captured the essence of the catastrophe awaiting us all in the very near future, and he backs it up with solid scientific data. The book is very entertaining and should serve as a wake-up call for us all.
