Can you imagine what our lives would be like after a devastating asteroid strike? What effect would the resulting tsunami, storms, and dust cloud have? What would happen to the climate, wildlife, and our food supplies? This book traces the possible consequences of a global event on this scale, with ideas and evidence based on similar scenarios that are a part of fact and fiction.
"TWO STARS! The book contains lots of pictures and diagrams to illustrate the concepts present, along with a glossary of words that might prove difficult. A useful exercise is one where the reader is asked to write their own story about an asteroid strike. The book also contains a list of resources for the student who wants to know more." - Science Books & Films

"Imagining a world changed forever by issues of biological proportions is scary, and this series pulls no punches. Based on scientific and historical evidence, each incident is examined via a hypothetical future disaster, which is then explained in detail. . . .Color photographs and sidebars add interest, and students are encouraged to explore their ideas with tips for story writing." - Library Media Connection

"This unsettling but wildly entertaining series imagines life on earth following any number of horrific events: an asteroid strike, nuclear meltdown, super-plague, etc. Imaginative and surprising—rarely does series nonfiction feel like a summer blockbuster." - Booklist

"...there is plenty of speculation, but it’s backed up by good research, which takes into account both scientific and human factors, and paired with excellent graphics, maps, no-win multiple-choice questions, and even—surprisingly—a few silver linings that (in theory) come out of the experience a decade later. Equally frightening and thought provoking." - Booklist
