Publisher Description
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 results: 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."
- Chicago Daily News
Customer Reviews
Lucifer’s hammer
This was the absolute perfect doomsday story in my opinion. Hollywood has tried and tried again and few have come close to the hitting the mark . Only a few books have I read twice but I would love to read this one again. Well thought out, Horrific choices to be made, and characters of great depth. Only complaint with such a large number of characters I would have trouble remembering who was who, but these gentlemen were thoughtful enough to include a quick reference guide i.e. Harry; postman
Omar; Black panther
Etc.
I promise you if you enjoyed Armageddon or deep impact ( or any number of others I can’t remember) All garbage my friend. I want a copy but need a credit card I guess. Any ideas or feedback would be great. Enjoy
