The closer the time gets to midnight, the closer the world comes to self-induced destruction It should not be seen as a prediction but instead should be viewed as a poignant illustration of the risks facing the world at the point of the time being set. It is not predicting the end of humanity in the next few years but is instead updating its time based on current events in the world. A review of the clock's history is then useful, especially as its time may soon change to reflect recent events in Ukraine.įirstly, the clock is a metaphor. The closer the time gets to midnight, the closer the world comes to self-induced destruction and annihilation.ġ00 seconds to midnight is the closest the world has ever come to nuclear disaster in the clock's 75-year history which certainly sounds ominous, but the clock is often misunderstood or misrepresented. On the Doomsday clock, it purports to show the close of all of humanity's days. A time of 100 seconds to midnight on a regular clock would denote the close of a day. This is the time as measured by the Doomsday Clock. For the last two years, this innocuous sounding phrase has been front and centre in the minds of researchers at The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a magazine created to push the idea of nuclear disarmament.

NOTE: I received this book from Kensington Books in exchange for my honest review.Ĭaptain Mauve Cassidy is an Army Reserve Officer. This is a super thriller, adventure story, military action story. The storyline was crazy but followed logical steps and soon had me believing in the possibility of the deadly happenings spelled out in the pages of this dynamite thriller. The characters were well drawn and believable. That didn't detract too much from this bloody, gutty, rollicking behind-the-scenes look at a too possible terrorist operation. This story moved quickly except for the "right in the middle" section, which was kind of bloated. His search for justice for his mother happens to coincide with a deadly terrorist plot in North Carolina and so he's also on the trail of missing engineer/geologist Army Reserve Captain Maeve Cassidy, just returned from a classified mission in Afghanistan. He is huge, 6 1/2' tall with a 7' arm span, an ex-Delta Force operative that works for the Joint Special Operations Command, and he's on the trail of the last man alive that raped and killed his mother when he was just a boy. He is part Croatan Indian, born on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Jake "Chayton" Mahegan is someone you want fighting on your side. I don't know whether it's because it's written by a retired Brigadier General or not (I'm sure it has a lot to do with it) but THREE MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT reads all too possible. ![]()
