Book Review: Winter World: The Long Winter Trilogy

Winter World takes us on a journey to a world on the brink of failure. The Long Winter is the world cooling faster than any science can explain. Ice is moving across the planet forcing people to relocate to safe warmer zones.

We are introduced to Emma, an astronaut on the ISS whose mission is to study the sun and see what’s happening to our world. Emma is woken by an alarm, warning her and the team that the ISS is overheating, which shouldn’t be happening. As the crew tries to resolve the issue it becomes apparent that the problem is not a failure of some system but an attack on the space station. Emma orders the team to start the evacuation process just before the international space station is blown up. Leaving Emma stranded in her space suit clinging to the debris of the ISS in space.

Back on earth, NASA has been studying the information sent by Emma and the team on the international space station. They are working on a plan to investigate if there is anyone left after the ISS destruction and if there is anything that can be done to save the planet. They recruit a genius, named James who is currently in prison. James created something that shocked and terrified the world so much that he was sent to prison. His prison sentence was a warning to other inventors or innovators to not to go down the same path as he did. But with the world on the brink of collapse, what choice do we have. Can he and the team find a solution before the entire planet is covered in ice.

On a scale of 1 to 5, a 1 being don’t bother and a 5 a real page turner. I’m going to give Winter World a solid 5. This book was highly engaging with a great story line and plot. I am currently reading the second book in the trilogy, and I can’t wait to start the third book. In short, if you like a good science fiction book full of intrigue and suspense, this book will not disappoint.
