Zero Limit

This book blew me away. Not only was it an exciting read, but it also highlighted the lengths to which individuals will go to solve problems which at first seem insurmountable. Strength and courage are two of the hallmarks of heroes; Caitlin and her crew exemplified the traits that have moved humanity forward.The science and technology were sound; the writing was precise; the characters were relatable and the editing was top notch. This book is not part of a series which is a relief as so many science fiction authors leave the reader with having to wait to buy three, four, five or six more books before resolution. Annoying, to say the least.I am looking forward to more good reads from this author.

This book was recommended for fans of Artemis, which I just read and enjoyed immensely. This book however, is total garbage. Totally cliche & laughably bad dialogue. It’s also entirely predictable. I found myself skipping 2-3 pages at a time just hoping the cheese factor would die down. It never did. When you find yourself rooting for the asteroid & against the protagonists, it’s a mission failure to launch

I felt I knew each of the characters.Their lives twists and turns keep you interested.You want them to make their journey to earth.

It was an okay read. Story line reminded me a bit too much of that movie Deep Impact. Predictable. Somehow I feel the story could've been much more. In fact, I liked the story's backdrop - political climate, the human need to ostracize others - more than I did the actual plot.

Enjoyed this book. Fast paced, interesting and well written. Not too heavy on the science, but enough to make it feasible and interesting.

The author shows a very real imagination and it is clear a lot of research went into this writing. I could not put the book down and was hoping to find additional books from this author but was sad to find none matching my interests.

The story line is good, science is well thought out, the pace moves along - no flat spots. My only grip is the dialog which I found a bit hokey and detracted from the novel

Good for killing and filling time. Switched between Kindle and Audible versions.

This is billed as "Artemis meets Gravity", but it would be more accurate to say "Deep Impact meets Eastenders". The main plot element is that a rogue asteroid mining operation accidentally puts the rock on a direct impact course for Earth, and thereafter it is basically a straight clone of Deep Impact, but with a Trumpian, dim demagogue president rather than an Obama-esque one, and a level of soapiness which would shame Eastenders.The author seems to have a very poor grasp of mechanics, and the course of the asteroid is such that early on it's "a little closer than the moon", because the author doesn't want something as prosaic as the speed of light getting in the way of chatty dialogue between the two central female characters, yet rather later on it's "about four times further away". Hang on, doesn't that mean it's moving away from Earth?Other numbers and concepts seem to be equally confused. There's a good thread about "moonborn" characters being demonised on Earth, similar to current Hispanic and Muslim immigrants to the US, but no explanation of how these amount to any significant numbers, especially given the acknowledged challenges of making the journey back if you were born in 1/6 g. There's a comparison between the projected impact and the largest H Bomb, but a factor of 1000 goes missing somewhere, and you can't help thinking that real scientists would use terms like "Giga" and "Tera", and SI units, which have a well-defined, internationally-invariant value.I finished the book because I wanted to write a review, but this is really one that wasn't worth completing.

Caitlin Taggart is an ex-soldier, and now a Helium-3 miner on the Moon, a tough, dirty job that no-one seems to want, but which attacts those with few options. Tensions between Moon and Earth mean she is trapped on the moon, desperate to make enough money to find a way home to her daughter. When the deadbeat father is arrested, Taggart is pushed into taking up an offer she previously thought too dangerous to accept - to help a company start asteroid mining, which happens to also be illegal. Taggart and her crew risk everything, and when the obligatory disaster strikes, it's a race against time not only for her and the crew, but life as we know it.An interesting look at the immigration debate set a century plus into the future is nicely woven into the this hard sci-fi story - about the only thing that is not at least feasible even now is the fusion power that uses the He-3 being mined. There seem to be a few inconsistency about the astroids course later on, and there seems to be an awful lot of hardware just "hanging around" that works without too many problems after half a century of floating in space. The characters are not bad, although you start to worry when you get a bit of detail about someone. The president seems to be something of a Trump clone, and the author avoids one or two cliches that I feared might ruin it. Overall pretty good - the minor quibbles above notwithstanding. I will certainly look out for future offerings from Jeremy K. Brown.

I think this book would make an excellent film I could imagine that the excitement ,anxiety and the beauty of outer space would work really well in the big screen .The story has all the plot points and twists for an excellent disaster movie with a woman stuck away from her child on moon following a future Trump like travel embargo preventing her returning home to earth after a trip to bury her mother on the moon where the future has a two sided moon settlement with one posh hotel like side for holidaying visitors and its contrasting ageing tatty mining colony .Add on an out of orbit meteorite heading straight on a collision course with earth and you have Armageddon 1.1The book is an enjoyable read although I felt that the last half wasn’t as exciting as I would have expected given the storyline.The exception to this is the very last section when we discover of our heroine lives or dies .Font worry no spoilersIn summary if you like a good disaster movie and futuristic space travel appeals this is the book for you

Not a new concept but very well done. Well rounded characters and really well written. I think it was meant to be 100 years in the future but didn't feel very futuristic. And with the president being based on Trump, apart from space travel it could be written for today.The story kept a great pace and it was reminiscent of 80s classic sci-fi.

I had high hopes for the book, but ultimately felt let down by the following:a) Followed the Armageddon formula to a reasonable degree - to the point the book was written almost as a film script I think.b) Characters were reasonably drawn, but felt too typecast.c) Plot twists were not too surprisingOverall - a 4 out of 10 from me.
