Written as a flashback by the daughter of one of the main characters this story follows the fate of the planet after a message from the future predicts the end of the world in 2073. As the leaders of the world rush to complete massive bunker complexes and stasis technology, so the world rushes head long to catastrophe - food shortages, riots and limited nuclear exchanges lead to full scale nuclear armageddon. Does anyone survive? Can humanity come back from such a disaster? Well that's for you to find out.While the book overall was ok, I did find the writing style quite clunky and honestly down right bad in some spots. The way that the characters acted and spoke was just unbelievable and the massive overuse of the word "within" just about sent me bonkers. Add to that the fact that in some cases thoughts, dialogues and actions were repeated several times by one character in one scene, well, I did question if the president was an imbecile or he had somehow managed to include only imbeciles in the bunker who needed constant reassurance &/or things explained 3 or 4 times so that they understood. I think this book could have used an experienced editor who could have helped tidy up all the awkward conversations and clunky writing style.Overall a good premise, but please employ an editor who can help to refine what is an ok story into a fantastic one.
