?The first satisfying end-of-the-world novel in years . . . an ultimate one . . . massively entertaining.?-Cleveland Plain-DealerThe 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.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. . . .?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
