Aeon Rising by Matthew Mather
4.0
3.5⭐
A gripping apocalyptic event thriller!
I'm guessing everyone would remember exactly what they were doing if a nearby star goes KABOOM turning night to day and the sky red.
In Aeon Rising a supernova appeared over the South Pole. A Chinese scientist Dr. Xin noticed it first on her monitor at Amundsen Station- Antarctica.
Max Carver, an Army vet now trucker is asked by his old Army staff sergeant to aid Stillwater, a private military contractor on a rescue mission. He heads to the Amazon forest where Max's childhood friend, Ben is running a hi-tech Colony in the middle of the jungle. But before they arrive, the night sky turns bright as day, and their Black Hawk spun out of control into a freefall.
This was an exciting read! Two suns? I guess I'll take two suns over a giant meteor strike. I wish I understood all the hard science, I didn't but I enjoyed the adventure! At the heart of it all, it's a survival story. To stay alive and to get back to their loved ones. Dr. Xin to her young son, and Max to his NSA subcontractor pregnant wife.
I'm definitely going to get book two when it comes out as the journey continues. Ray Porter did a wonderful job as always with the narration.
Thank you, RB Media/Recorded Books, and Netgalley for this DRC.
