Publisher's summary

Gunner Fox finds himself in a place of darkness, without a reason to live. Until now.

An asteroid is on a collision course with our planet.

Gunner Fox is on a collision course with death.

International best-selling author, Bobby Akart, introduces Gunner Fox, a United States Air Force fighter pilot and Earth Scientist. When America needs a hero, they turn to a man who has nothing to live for, without a care in the world - except to save it.

Somewhere out there, an asteroid is on a collision course with Earth. Five times in the history of our planet, extinction-level events have occurred, arguably all of which have been caused by asteroids.

Will we be ready to meet it? We'll get just one chance to defend ourselves. Will we succeed?

In Bobby Akart's Asteroid series, he serves up hard evidence for the astonishing fragility of life and a humbling lesson for us all. It shows we are at the mercy of forces we do not see nor understand; forces that made our existence possible a few hundred thousand years ago and that just as quickly - in the twinkling of an eye - can and will one day, take us out.

A pause-resisting trilogy from a master storyteller, this new Gunner Fox series begins with Asteroid Discovery.

Cut from the headlines

Discovery, is another world ending tail by Mr. Akart. The main characters are more than they first seem and the disaster is one that could be in tomorrow’s headlines.
Great book that’s fun to listen while you drive. The author is always keeping us entertained and informed.

Great read, the characters are likeable

What a great novel, loved the characters and the threat seems real. Gunner, another "that guy" as John McLain would say, always out to save the day. A true hero.

Exciting, thrilling, heart provoking and overall incredible

Asteroid Discovery, was exciting, thrilling, heart provoking and overall incredible. The topic of the new series is very interesting, really makes you think about the grey line the media and our government live in on a daily bases; especially when it comes to a devastating disaster. We are in such crazy times, the slightest thing could send the protesters and the crazies in the street. Looking forward to see how all of those issues are worked out in the next book.
The characters are so relatable, fun and passionate. Mostly love the enter action with Gunner and his dad Papas (who should share the snicker doodle recipe). Author Bobby Akart teamed up with Chris Abernathy, is always a winning combination. Thank you!

Excellent read

Bobby Akart has written a masterful suspense thriller that is as informative and thought provoking as it is exciting. I've been studying and reading about impacts and asteroids as a non professional for many years and Bobby Akart's story holds together and rings true. Can't wait for his next installment of this series. I definitely plan to read more of his books.

alot of research in science and military as well as insertions into the space race that seemed entirely plausible

a lot of detail that made this story a awesome tale about the asteroid and about Gunner

Bobby Akart Does it Again

I enjoy listening to a lot of post apocalypse books. Mr. Akart’s topics that are different from the usual EMP/Zombie books are raising the bar for this genre. The technology in this book is amazing. If you like end of the world scenarios I highly recommend this book. I’m off to start on book 2!
