Synopsis

On the brink of a disaster that could end all human life on Earth, tech genius Robert Eisenbraun joins a team of scientists in Antarctica on a mission to Jupiter’s moon Europa to mine a rare ore that can provide for Earth’s long-term energy needs. But as he and the rest of the team train under the ice shelf in preparation for the long journey, trouble erupts, and before they embark Eisenbraun finds himself the odd man out and is put into cold sleep against his will.When he wakes, Eisenbraun finds the ship deserted and no longer functional. He escapes to the surface of an Earth terribly changed. The plan has gone horribly wrong, but as he adapts to a hostile environment, he realizes that there is still a way to accomplish what the mission had set out to achieve. But he also discovers that he faces a new adversary of the most unlikely sort. Now his own survival, and that of the woman whose love has sustained him in his darkest hours, depends on the defeat of a technological colossus partly of his own making.Confronting a foe that knows him almost as well as he knows himself, Eisenbraun faces the prospect of depending on resources he has reason to believe will be available on one particular night of a full moon—a night foretold by a mysterious, unseen ally to be a pivotal moment for the fate of the planet. The game has changed, and Earth’s future depends on him and him alone.The Omega Project is yet another edge-of-your-seat thriller by bestselling author Steve Alten and is sure to leave listeners looking for more.

Goodreads review by Susan

I can't give it more than 2 stars. What the hell was that? I wanted to DNF it so bad but I kept going. It was such a drag. When I read the blurb on Goodreads, I was like "Woooah". Who wouldn't want to read this story? But when it came down to it, this novel failed to deliver. Robert "Ike" Eisenbraun......more

Goodreads review by Bren

Toda la primera parte del libro esta bastante bien, lo suficiente como para atrapar mi atención, sin embargo, la segunda parte se convierte en una historia onírica y sinsentido, de algún modo pierde tal fuelle que no puedo evitar pensar en la perdida de tiempo y esfuerzo para leer algo como esto, un......more
