Like Armegeddon, the earth is the target, this time by a comet & it hits the earth. Excellent look at our civilization; how fragile, yet resilient. A must read. Well written & researched.

The best disaster novel of all time, bar none. Niven and Pournelle hit it out of the ballpark.

A winner in every way.

This is one of the classis apocalyptic novels that I read when I was a teenager, and I've reread it many, many times since then. ...more
