Review
內容簡介:
In the year 2110 technology has cured most of our worries. But
even as humankind enters a new golden age, an amateur astronomer
points his telescope at just the right corner of the night sky and
sees disaster hurtling toward Earth: a chunk of rock that could
annihilate civilization. While a few fanatics welcome the
apocalyptic destruction as a sign from God, the greatest scientific
minds of Earth desperately search for a way to avoid the
inevitable. On board the starship Goliath Captain Robert Singh and
his crew must race against time to redirect the meteor form its
deadly collision course. Suddenly they find themselves on the most
important mission in human history--a mission whose success may
require the ultimate sacrifice.
