This isn’t just about what you do when the stars go out. Not only does he pose realistic hard physics questions, but the emotional context and development of the characters is magnificently portrayed. In some ways (yes, I’m going there) Wilson is better. Wilson writes like a modern-day Arthur C Clarke, and if that isn’t a high enough recommendation for you then I don’t know what is. But it will never stand shoulder to shoulder (even if I were a better writer) with names like Asimov or Heinlein. That’s the stuff I know, and I find it interesting enough to write about it. The science in my science fiction is economics, cognitive psychology, and a fair chunk of epistemology. Melancholy, because when you think of the true greats of hard science-fiction, the science is basically physics. Laugh, because I never expected anyone to compare me to Asimov and so shall take it as a compliment. Not as good as Asimov.” This made be both laugh and feel a little melancholy.
What has caused the stars to go out? Who is behind this mystery? And how much longer does humanity have?Ī little while ago I got a review for my Science Fiction novel “Dead Moon” which simple said “Three stars.
Thus begins a story that spans thirty odd years, as the three of them find strive to survive and overcome the slow apocalypse that has overtaken the earth. Two twins and their friend are lying in a back yard one night when the stars go out.
