Overall if James had felt more realistic, this would have been an A+ fantastic read, but I felt like I read despite James, not because of him. And if you make the mistake of forgetting how smart and special James is, don't worry because other characters are there to remind us how much better he is than everyone else throughout the story right up to the very end.Īll this made it hard for me to take James seriously by the end and it frustrated me with how his character felt like a self-insert fantasy in an otherwise great concept. At times I wondered if he was the author's self-insert or something. Star Trek fans might understand what I mean when I say it was like reading about adult Wesley Crusher saving the day again and again. He is the know-it-all genius held back by other people's inability to understand him, but he saves them all anyway. James is a huge Gary Stu to extreme levels. This book gave me mixed feelings because I loved the concept and plot and especially the mystery surrounding what is causing the Long Winter, but I hated the main character. The mission doesn't go as planned and the crew find themselves in a race against time to save Earth, risking their lives to stop the objects from blocking out the remaining sunlight. In order to figure out if the object is the cause of the ice age, NASA launches a mission to find answers. Scientists desperately search for an answer and find a mysterious object in front of the sun. A new ice age has fallen over Earth that threatens to destroy humanity.
