I have just finished books 1-3 of the Comet Clement series.  I was hooked on the first one and each time the books ended, I could not wait until I could start the next one.  I either didn't notice, or it did not bother me if there were any grammatical or spelling errors, the books were that good to me. I am a fast reader and will probably re-read this series later on.I enjoyed the premise of the book, about the comet, how it was found and how the government became involved and the growth of the characters within the books. I also enjoyed how the author kept up with John and Colin, Emily and Sarah Rose and how their lives are intertwined.  Although there are many other major characters in the books, I'm glad the author gave me a glimpse every once in a while of these four. (I hope I have their names correct).I have just ordered  Book #4 and am on my way to bed to begin reading it.  Although the books are fiction, they seem to be on the cutting edge of science and technology  although  I'm not smart enough to know if these things could actually be made.  I'm just assuming the author did his research and knew what he was writing about, because it all made sense to me. LOL  It also reveals to me just how much the government can and does keep secret from its citizens. I, myself, would want to know what the Inner Circle knew and would be very upset to know it was kept from me.  Sometimes there are things one wants to do before death comes; seeing old friends, patching up broken relationships, going places one has dreamed of seeing and having the time to do these things, knowing time is running out.  Just my opinion of course. Anyway, I LOVE these books and will continue to read them.As an aside, the Inner Circle secret reminded me of Oak Ridge, Tennessee where the components of the first atom bomb  were built.  There were three different sections built with a mountain between 1 and 2 and another mountain between 2 and 3.  Neither section knew what the other one was doing, but the final product (plutonium I believe) was placed in a briefcase and carried by train to another state by a non-descript looking businessman where it was handed off and made into the bomb. The President and a few top secret advisors knew what was going on, but Vice-President Truman had no clue.  They even had to "borrow" silver bullion from the Treasury Dept to melt down to make silver wire because all the copper was being used overseas.  After the war, they had to give the silver back to the Treasury Dept and I believe our guide told us they recovered 99% of it!Anyway, get these books and read them...you will have the ride of your life as you get to know the characters, begin to care about them, hate some, cry for some, and cheer them on!These books would make a GREAT series for the History Channel, maybe a two hour series once a week until the final book!  Someone could make that happen!
