Exodus is well written from the point of view of sentence construction and lack of typos but that's all the good I saw in it. First of all, the fighter pilot detects an infra-red missile and ejects chaff -- this is just wrong. You eject flares for IR missiles and chaff for radar guided. Then the remains of the rogue planet go into a spiral orbit around the sun. There is no such thing as a spiral orbit --, it could have been a highly elliptical one, that would have worked.The depiction of the state of world politically in a few decades just does not jibe with me, and I don't see large scale, ORGANIZED riots taking place as described just because the world is ending. The characters I found to be stereotypical and uninteresting.Pah!
