Reseña del libro "Destiny Earth (en Inglés)"
Will O'Neil has a dream: to find a new home for humanity among the stars, with room for everyone. With a rising population, dwindling resources, and an ever-widening gap between the wealthy elite and the masses, O'Neil's vision is more than a flight of fancy. It's a desperate necessity. O'Neil's unmanned rovers find just such a planet. With abundant plant life, a breathable atmosphere, and a wealth of water, the lush world seems perfect for colonization. Only when monstrous life forms attack a spacecraft does O'Neil realize how dangerous the new world is. He abandons his dream in despair, unaware powerful figures lust after the primeval planet's rich resources. Out in space, Commander James Devon helms the Victory, a deep space exploratory vessel. He has a simple but vital mission: locate potential planet-busting asteroids. To his horror, he finds one on a direct course with humanity's vulnerable planet. Racing home, his radio warnings to government officials seem to fall on deaf ears. Only when he contacts his old nemesis O'Neil does Devon learn the truth: the bulk of humanity remains ignorant of the impending disaster, while the elite make plans to escape to O'Neil's monster-ridden world. In the face of planetary catastrophe, scientist and space commander must put aside old differences to save their species, even as opposing forces plan to sacrifice millions for their own benefit. Devon and O'Neil know they can't save everyone. Can two good men decide who lives and dies without becoming as callous as their enemies? And even if they can, will humanity survive an exodus to a vicious new home? Tony Mazzarella's tale of intrigue and survival blends science fiction with technological fact to create a powerful tale of conspiracy, power, and space exploration. Destiny Earth will strike a chord in anyone who, like O'Neil, believes our future lies in the stars.
