I am so glad I second guessed myself and didn't request this. =____= My backlog is huge, but this would've been one more that disappointed me. Great review.
I started reading your review and thought that this author has never read Dune (which features a planet where water is so scarce that failure to recycle all fluids pretty much is a death sentence)
I don't even know where all the water went. The oceans boiled up, but there are no water left. Where did all the water go?! It couldn't have penetrated the atmosphere. It could only be turned into vapor, which means the Earth would have turned into an ultra-hot steam room. BUT THERE WOULD STILL BE WATER.
And Nemo, I'm the same way.
And this book would drive me nuts, so thanks for the warning review.
