Anybody ever read a great novel from the 1970's called Luicifer's Hammer by Jerry Pournelle and Larry Niven? Awesome book on point (nearly--concerns a comet) with this thread!

I've read it, several times, in fact.

Excellent read, but a little unlikely.

Yup. Terrific book. I consider the scene with the surfer trying to ride out the tsunami one of the most memorable scenes in any book I ever read, and I'm not even a big surfing fan.

It reminded me of Footfall by the same authors. Great book. The pfftth (I'm sure I spelled it wrong) threw an asteroid at us and wiped out India.

Love Lucifer's Hammer and Footfall and The Mote in God's Eye.

Lucifer's Hammer.

Great book, great read. Anyone who hasn't read it should pick it up.

I did and I loved it!!!

I still think that ranch up in the Sierra Foothills was John Garamendi's ranch. (CA's current Insurance Commissioner that is dying to be governor ever since Jerry Brown had it)

YES, I read that! Awesome book, and recommend it highly. I read it probably 15 years ago though.

Definitely an incredible work of science fiction. A favorite of mine from an early age :)
