Lucifer's Hammer

by Jerry Pournelle

Random House Publishing Group | January 27, 1998 | Trade Paperback

Monumental devastation will sweep across the globe if the newly-discovered Hamner-Brown comet collides with the one major obstacle in its path: Earth.

For millionaire Tim Hamner, the comet is a ticket to immortality. For filmmaker Harvey Randall, it''s a shot to redeem a flagging career. And for astronauts John Baker and Rick Delanty, it''s a second chance for glory in outer space.

But for a world gripped by comet fever, fascination quickly turns to fear. And only those who survive the impact will know the even greater terror, when rich and poor, politicians and killers, turn to each other or against each other--and the remnants of humanity grow savage to battle for what little remains . . .

Including an all-new introduction by the authors!

    One Amazing Book

    Andrew Overment

    This book is probably the best I have read in a long time. If you saw Armageddon or Deep Impact and were disappointed by their idealistic attitudes, read this book. It will change the way you feel about the end of the world.

    I purchased this book when it was first published and have read it enough times to have it practically worn out. I have enjoyed every reading to date and am now going to buy a new copy. It is an intelligent look at "the end of the world, as we know it." Strong characters; engrossing story.
