Long before scientists began looking at the possibility of a comet ending all life on Earth, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle got together and wrote, in my opinion, the best "End of the World" story ever written. With much detail Niven and Pournelle tell how Lucifer's Hammer (A comet) hits the earth creating the ultimate disaster for mankind. Millions are killed in the initial impact, and those who are spared face the ultimate challenge of surviving the end of life as we know it. I first read this book when it was released in 1977, I recently picked up the book again and was struck by how far ahead of their time Niven and Pournelle were when they wrote this story. The attention to detail in the lives of the books stars is outstanding and the attachment you form to the survivors only make the reading all the more enjoyable. If you have not read the book, do yourself a favor and read it. If you have already read the book, consider reading it again. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a great story. Rated 5 of 5 for a great story line and fine writing.Read full review
