For you, there is not just a before … there will be an after."Įnd of Days weaves the story of two characters as the world braces itself for an asteroid set to collide with Earth. You want to know why you are here … correct?" "You still have your biggest question to ask. "We are operating here on the assumption that they will fail, and that the only hope for mankind's salvation is to prepare for that eventuality." He paused. "Would I be doing all of this if I felt they could?" Fitchett asked. "They actually believe they can stop the asteroid." I don't think my aims could be any further away from theirs," he said. "Government scarcely exist anymore, with the possible exception of the International Aerospace Research Institute – and as I have made clear, I am certainly not them. And her growth throughout the book–she gained such confidence! There was some great banter, and the improv scenes had me laughing to myself.

Th first thing in the world they ever heard were the words, „Tin soldiers!“ uttered by a little boy, who clapped his hand with delight when the lid of the box, in which they lay, was taken off. They shouldered arms and looked straight before them, and wore a splendid uniform, red and blue. There were once five-and-twenty tin soldiers, who were all brothers, for they had been made out of the same ol tin spoon. Stone recounts how he pitched Bezos on the idea of a book.
