![]() ![]() As the planets approach, observers see through their telescopes cities on Bronson Beta. The United States evacuates coastal regions in preparation for the first encounter. Scientists led by Cole Hendron work desperately to build an atomic rocket to transport enough people, animals and equipment to Bronson Beta in an attempt to save the human race. It is hoped that Bronson Beta (discovered to be Earth-like and potentially habitable) will remain and assume a stable orbit. Sixteen months later, after swinging around the Sun, Bronson Alpha (a gas giant) will return to pulverize the Earth and leave. In eight months, they will pass close enough to cause catastrophic damage to the Earth. Sven Bronson, a Swedish astronomer working at an observatory in South Africa, discovers a pair of rogue planets, Bronson Alpha and Bronson Beta, which will soon enter the Solar System.

The premise is pretty straightforward- Argent is hired to kill an actress named Millie, but instead he falls for her and he uncovers a truly villainous plot in the process. I’ve so been looking forward to this story and to spend more time with the dark, sad, twisted soul that is Christopher Argent. Indeed, Christopher Argent is a cold hearted killer and character seen in the author’s previous book (Highwayman). And what do you think I felt? Victorious? Avenged? Guilt?
