Asteroids: Bridge to Nowhere by Mike McCoy, Lori Criswell-Baer, Jim Spivey

3.0

Asteroids: Escape from the Arcadians is a fast paced story that features an unlikely hero who fights to save his loved ones from a terrifying natural disaster and the actions of a corrupt government. Rick, unlike many sci-fi heroes, has a close emotional relationship with his wife. Rob is another character of interest with his doomsday shelter. The book almost reminded me of a cross between Independence day (with Rick being a Jeff Goldblum type character and Rob being the crazy ex-pilot who keeps talking about alien invasions). Actually, the book could be considered a cross between Independence Day and Armageddon. For me, this was a fun campy scifi. I think some of the prose could have been shortened and some areas felt like filler. The urgency of the impending attack could be played up more as it relates to each character, showing their individual urgencies, because at times the wording was too much that it severely slowed down the pace of the story.
