✅ REVIEW

This is a reflective short-fiction novel that takes place in the future. An asteroid will soon crash with planet Earth and life as we know it is not expected to survive. For years now, humanity has been preparing to move to another planet before the collision occurs.

The story revolves around Samantha, a young scientist whose job is to catalog plant samples that will be taken with the surviving humans to their new home.

I enjoyed the story, the author is descriptive and immerses the reader in the character’s tasks, there are detailed description of the flowers being studied, so it should be interesting for those with horticulture interests. Overall, I recommend it to readers of sci-fi and contemporary fiction.
