Earth

Earth
By David Brin
Bantam, 1990, 682 pgs. Science Fiction

David Brin’s Earth is sprawling, lengthy, and complicated. The book has several story lines and many characters but the main plot centers around the threat to planet earth that is caused by a microscopic black hole created in a physics experiment. The black hole ends up in the earth’s core and threatens to destroy the planet. You’ll either love it or hate it- either way you’ll be astounded at the research that went into this novel and the way Brin could so accurately imagine the future when he wrote this book 20 years ago.
