(3) YA Russian astrophysics prodigy Yuri comes to America to help NASA stop an asteroid headed to Earth. But the seventeen-year-old is finding that his American colleagues fail to take him seriously. Meanwhile, a budding friendship with an American girl allows Yuri to finally experience normal teenage life. The blend of science and romance with complex, unusual characters offers a fresh take on apocalyptic fiction.
