I actual found this book very good.
It asked some questions that can never be fully explained and as for present answers on a brown-dwarf compain for Sol, well they also said we had no more big bodies after Pluto!!! ( we all know the answer to that one..lol) I'd say the Nemesis theory is not dead, but rather luke-warm, till w better understand cold-body stars!!! The exstinction of species in rythmic cycles close to 25~27million years cn never be co-incidence. Also what would nudge in astroids and comet rains on the solar system??? many of the answers givn are flawed and grasp at straws...
so yes I like books like Nemisis, as they make us think out of the box.
