I only read this book because its short summary was quite unusual. It did really start very promising.
NASA
mission to MARS coming to an end. Everything going smooth on MARS, except there is 18h
period when mission leader, Chris, is lost during unexpected martian
sand storm and later found unconscious nearby the mission camp. He
does not remember what happened. His memory for this 18h period is
coming as short flashes, occasionally.
Meanwhile, mission is
returning to Earth after 2.5 years. Suddenly, when just 60 days is left to reach Earth, space
craft loosing all contacts with Earth. Eventually they approached
Earth and managed with some difficulty to land in Florida on autopilot mode.
At this stage
they realized that Earth is empty. Every living things have
disappeared. They have no idea what happened.
Surprisingly on
the way to Houston, where NASA HQ is located, they meet a strange young girl, only living person
they found so far. They can't explain why she survived this
"disappearance".
Afterwards, everything is too
uninteresting. It turned out that two scientists developed some type
of supercomputer which can manipulate time and space. For some
reason, this technology ended up in the hand of rogue general who is
disappointed how governments are running the world and decided to change
it with the help of this supercomputer.
In the end, NASA
team managed to defeat the general and bring people and living things
back to Earth.
This novel is more of a fantasy, rather than
science fiction.
