"Inspiring, thought provoking and impossible to put down." - Fred Miller, Executive Producer of Academy Award nominated For All Mankind "Fascinating. Technically accurate and frighteningly plausible." - Professor Joe Veverka, Chairman Cornell Astrophysics, Principle Investigator NASA Stardust mission "Thrilling ... Commander Stevens' stories can only come from someone who's 'been there, done that.'" - Admiral Joe Dyer, former Chief Test Pilot of the Navy, COO of iRobot "... it won't be long before his novels are sitting next to Tom Clancy and Dan Brown." - Sam Hailes, British Journalist "Highlights a real-life threat facing all of us, and packages it into a highly entertaining adventure." - Dr. Ed Lu, astronaut and CEO of the B612 Foundation "... how to prevent a real life catastrophe of major proportions." - Dr. Carolyn Shoemaker, holds record for asteroid and comet discoveries This is a work of fiction. Unfortunately, the science behind it isn't .xa0Astrophysicists recently reevaluated the asteroid/comet impact rate. Using newly declassified data from the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty monitoring system, which listens for nuclear detonations in the atmosphere. They now believexa0impacts big enough to obliterate a city or continent may be 10 times more likely. Dr. Ed Lu, former astronaut, astrophysicist and CEO of the B612 Foundation, summed it up. Referring to the Las Vegas truism that "the house always wins," he said, "We're not the house." Impacts aren't the only preventable threat. The series covers the next most probable and dangerous threats to humanity. Dave Stevens was a Navy Commander and nuclear-weapons-trained fighter pilot. He served as the Strike Operations Officer for the Persian Gulf, led classified defense programs, test-piloted new F-18 fighters and earned an aviation patent. He's been to over 30 countries, 10 miles above the earth, 600 feet below the Atlantic ... AND survived hundreds of his own carrier landings. Dave holds engineering degrees from Cornell and the University of Michigan with graduate work in astrophysics and human factors. He utilizes a brilliant cadre of expertsxa0-- from astronauts and astrophysicists to intelligence operatives and Special Forces -- to entertain and educate. Fuzed.org Read more

Stevens Has Successfully Managed to Resurrect the Action/Thriller Genre!

"Impact" is unlike any book that I have ever read before. David Stevens has the amazing ability to present an unlikely situation in a methodical, rational way and persuade the reader to accept that this could actually happen! His style is that of Dan Brown and Tom Clancy rolled into one.

Aside from being an absolute page turner (almost every chapter leaves you hanging), the book provokes a lot of thought regarding life, death and what else is "out there". David's uniquely ambiguous writing style allows the reader to choose a perspective and interpret how they wish to perceive the events being described to them. Is it Science or Spiritual or something else? I can't say more in this review without revealing some of the story, but suffice it to say, I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this book, especially the conversations the main character has with his "benefactors".

If you like non-stop military action and fast jets, you will like this book.
If you like X-files, Ancient Aliens, and Chariots of the Gods, you will like this book.
If religion plays a role in your life, you will like this book.
If you are an atheist, you will like this book.

Kudos to David Stevens for being able to invoke fear and hope at the same time in this meticulously thought out, adrenaline packed, what's-gonna-happen-next, can't put it down novel!

I can't wait for the movie!
