This was an incredibly realistic, exciting, thought provoking, heart-wrenching, maddening, horrifying and not to mention, nonstop action~ literally from the first chapter story! While Mr. Forsyth's Sovereign Series had me captivated, Sedulity was a different approach on the end of the world and an all too plausible scenario. A very scary frightening, moment by moment account of what is happening when an Asteroid strikes the Pacific Ocean and creates the catastrophic events that would inevitably cause the Ice Age to happen. Except this is from the narrative of the luxury cruise ship Sedulity and the members on it. We have glimpses during the chapter from other news sources around the world on what the effects are on their parts of the world and what is yet to come. Was good to see a familiar "face" from the SSS series..  (Fox from GNN in LA). Very minor editing issues, but did not break the flow one bit. I could see this story on the big screen, and surely it would be another great "end of the world" film. Characters were like-able and hate-able, their emotions were spot on and very believable. The vast amount of research that was put in to this story amazed me and really had me thinking about Asteroids and how little we know about our world and Universe. Very well written and easy to follow and understand for a person that is not knowledgeable on weather patterns, asteroid or meteor strikes, Tsunami's or any other natural disaster and the repercussions and/or fallout of the catastrophic effect that could happen in the event. Also a very good insight in to the workings of a ship. I was able to follow along fine with the scenarios and descriptions! As I always tell everyone~"Just because it is natural does not mean it is good for us"! Loved this book and I will certainly recommend it! Anxious for part 2!
