As the couple begins to perceive its significance-and Joe's role in a looming global calamity-they must also outwit a vicious weapons contractor bent on exploiting Joe's newfound understanding of the cosmos, and outlast the time bomb ticking in Joe's brain. "Bennett, after a neat Dean Koontz-style curtain-raiser, keeps raising the stakes. Deft storytelling and a riptide of action." --Kirkus Reviews"There is not a wasted word in this tense thriller. It's the reincarnation of Michael Crichton with an occasional side of Tom Clancy at his best - with aliens so close to home that you don't recognize them out of sheer familiarity. I cannot recommend this book highly enough." --Editor, Abyss & Apex, Magazine of Speculative Fiction"Exodus 2022 opens full throttle and never lets up. A fresh, original sci-fi thriller full of unexpected twists and turns. Kept me guessing to the very last page." --Bob Mayer, New York Times bestselling author of the science fiction series Area 51."Bennett prevails when it counts, leading readers toward a riveting and unequivocally satisfying showdown." --Publishers Weekly"Truly, this book hits its stride in its love of Earth, sea, and sky--a strong theme-- and is at its best where it defies convention and dives into eco-lit territory." --EcoLit Books"... A must-read for anyone who cares about the oceans, wildlife, and the environment, and likes to think that the animals will win in the end. It's my new happy place... Kudos to the author for creating a really imaginative way out of this environmental mess we've made of our planet." --Cynthia L. Hansen, Education Curator, The Whale Museum, Friday Harbor, WA
