What The Reviewers Say
... Brennecka is a scientist with a sense of humor and a flair for making complex topics both understandable and entertaining.
Meteoriticist Brennecka explains all things meteor to the layperson with enthusiasm and humor. He blends a thorough explanation of meteorites with pop culture references that make Impact enjoyable and easy to read.
Brennecka begins with the birth of the universe and takes readers on a journey through time and space, in a narrative that is both approachable and entertaining.
... anecdotes are more heavily scientific, and are where Brennecka hits his stride...The abundance of filler and corny jokes, though, can be distracting. Despite a couple wobbles, it’s a fine intro for star-gazing newbies..
