In most other books in this genre, either the end of the world is preventable or it has already happened. I think that what really drove this books is how different it was from other books about the end of the world. I had no idea what I was getting into when I started it.Īfter that, the tension just climbs and climbs, as humanity tries to survive. The book starts with the sentence “The Moon blew up without warning and for no apparent reason.” That is literally the first sentence in the book (so I don’t feel the need to hide it behind a spoiler tag). I have hidden major spoilers, but if you plan to read this book (which you should), you should stop reading now and go pick up a copy. Minor spoilers follow, but I did my best to avoid mentioning any major plot developments. I even made a little graph of how I felt while reading it. And I mean that this book had so much tension that I could barely handle it. It is also the first book to make me feel physically stressed. Seveneves is without a doubt, one of the best science fiction books I have ever read.
