Summary
The year is 2066, and the world is oblivious to the threat it faces.
The fate of humanity lies on the shoulders of Burt Radcliffe, the new head of NASA's Near Earth Object program. He's been rushing the completion of DefenseNet, a ring of satellites that are both part of an early-warning system, as well as the means to eliminate incoming threats.
Yet Burt knows that despite the world's best efforts, nothing can be done about the alert he's just received. Coming out of deep space is a danger that's been approaching since the dawn of time. A black hole. An unstoppable threat that promises death for all in its wake.
Dave Holmes was a modern-day Einstein. As the original architect of DefenseNet, he'd had visions of this Primordial Threat before he disappeared, yet he'd left behind no details on how the problem might be solved. Can Holmes be found, and if so, will his solution even work?
The world has less than a year to find out.

Narration not good
Good story spoiled by narrator’s attempts at female and British voices. Would have been better to read it as straightforward story without the attempts at “acting”

Bit Far Fetched.....
... but fun. It's a very typical SiFi story but more inclined to get a "B" rating as a 1950's film.
Whilst not great, it did still hold my attention.... and the ending opens up to a new book, which has better possibilities.

Not quite bad enough to stop listening
Disappointingly predictable, kind of a Paint by numbers effort. Trying to write by following a formula, but not having the right ingredients. Very glad it was over. The reader did a good job with what he had to work with.

Worst book I’ve ever read or heard
Terrible execution from what was an interesting plot. Woeful narration and accents. Plot holes everywhere

Light weight
The story is paint by numbers boring. Characters really thin in substance. The narrator makes it hard to distinguish different characters because he sounds as bored with the material as I was listening to it

End of the World, Black Holes, North Korea and Moving ‘Home’
After reading the story line of the ‘free download’ book, it captured my net rest and sat in my ‘to read’ folder for a couple of months.
It only took 15min to be hooked.
It was one of those stories that you look forward to immersing yourself into and it listening to it was like eating ‘comfort food’.
Strong characters, good story and a great example of Science Fiction ‘done well’.

desperately searching for a screenplay.
The plot seemed to follow a tried and tested Hollywood disaster movie scenario with some very clichéd characters thrown into the mix for good measure. I stuck with the book in the hope of a subtle twist which unfortunately didn't come. Other reviews had suggested that this was written from a scientific perspective, but I found it pretty rudimentary and flawed in a lot of places and I am no astrophysicist.

A good story
I enjoyed this novel despite the primitive handling of female characters. "Her slim hips" etc. It's full ideas, well written and mostly gets the physics right. The scope is enormous and the idea of moving the Earth to a new location is a novel one to say the least.
