I like this book, as it is written more as a political thriller than straight science fiction. The premise - that a killer asteroid is on its way, and that the US/Europeans only have a few days to find it before it hits - is blended with standard cold war "the Russians are monsters" stuff. But the tale is well written and the ending is intriguing, if slightly disatisfying.

Still, it was good enough to convince me to buy his next book. We'll have to wait and see how that works out.
