![]() We have met who I’m guessing to be the main characters: “Doc” Dubois Harris is the American astronomer who first predicts the catastrophic after-effects of the breaking of the moon, and is involved in trying to plan for survival plans thereafter. I’ve only made it about 40 pages into this 867-page book, so it is by any measure still very early in the book. I’ve been reading material from the Hugo Packet as fast as I can, and I am up against the deadline as I’m reading this one. ![]() No one knows how this could be possible, or what caused it to happen, but soon they realize that these aren’t the most important questions: the most important question is “How can humanity survive this?” The moon is going to break up into smaller and smaller fragments and start a catastrophic meteor shower in only about two years. Something punches a hole through it, fragmenting earth’s only natural satellite into seven fragments. The story begins with a bang as something inexplicable happens to the moon. Seveneves is a science fiction novel, written by Neal Stephenson, published in May 2015 by William Morrow, and was one of the novels nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel this year. ![]()
