Lucifer’s Hammer

In this bestselling novel by the authors of THE MOTE IN GOD’S EYE, a massive comet breaks apart and bombards the Earth, with catastrophic worldwide earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, thousand-foot tidal waves and seemingly endless rain… With civilization in ruins, individuals band together to survive and to build a new society. A MEGATON OF SUSPENSEFUL EXCITEMENT … which should keep readers going non-stop, cover to cover – Booklist.
A work in the grand tradition … even the miracle of Sensurround may be inadequate to convey all the imaginative reverberations.
– Los Angeles Times
A ‘Disaster’ thriller of rare quality … for its expertise and the scale of its apocalypse … Strings out the suspense almost unbearably.
– John Barkham Reviews
The first satisfying end-of-the-world novel in years … an ultimate one … massively entertaining.
– Cleveland Plain-Dealer
Take your earthquakes, waterlogged condominiums, swarms of bugs, colliding airplanes and flaming what-nots, wrap them up and they wouldn’t match one page of LUCIFER’S HAMMER for sweaty-palmed suspense.
