<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The trade paper re-launch of a classic sci-fi bestseller from the authors of the acclaimed alien invasion epic "Footfall". For millionaire Tim Hamner, the comet he helped discover is a ticket to immortality. For filmmaker Harvey Randall, it's a chance to redeem a flagging career. And for astronauts John Baker and Rick Delanty, it's a second chance for glory in outer space.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"The first satisfying end-of-the-world novel in years . . . an ultimate one . . . massively entertaining."--<i>Cleveland Plain-Dealer</i></b> <p/>The gigantic comet had slammed into Earth, forging earthquakes a thousand times too powerful to measure on the Richter scale, tidal waves thousands of feet high. Cities were turned into oceans; oceans turned into steam. It was the beginning of a new Ice Age and the end of civilization. <p/>But for the terrified men and women chance had saved, it was also the dawn of a new struggle for survival--a struggle more dangerous and challenging than any they had ever known. . . . <p/><b>"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 <i>Lucifer's Hammer</i> for sweaty-palmed suspense."--<i>Chicago Daily News</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The first satisfying end-of-the-world novel in years . . . an ultimate one . . . massively entertaining."<b>--<i>Cleveland Plain-Dealer<br></i></b><br>"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 <i>Lucifer's Hammer</i> for sweaty-palmed suspense."<b>--<i>Chicago Daily News</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Larry Niven</b> was born in 1938 in Los Angeles, California.
