How to Kill an Asteroid

“This vividly written book reads as much like a thriller as the film plots it is trying to correct… Andrews’s dexterity in explaining complicated concepts, including how to knock asteroids off-orbit, makes this book well worth picking up, but that verbal vivacity is matched by deep reporting… You will finish the book as informed as you are entertained.” – Chris Stokel-Walker - New Scientist”[T]here is much here that will fascinate any space enthusiast.” – Andrew Crumey - Literary Review““[A] wonderful book… Andrews is a marvellous and witty storyteller… This is a scientific page-turner that builds up to a great climax and is written in an accessible and entertaining style, yet chockful of serious information. A direct hit, I’d say.”” – Govert Schilling - BBC Sky at Night Magazine
