Published in 1977, this science fiction narrative was a contender for the 1978 Hugo Award for Best Novel. The story centers around a comet, christened Hamner-Brown, discovered by the hobbyist astronomer Tim Hamner.

Contrary to initial predictions that the comet would miss Earth, it disintegrates and its fragments wreak havoc on Earth, signaling the end of civilization as we know it. The cataclysmic event triggers volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and ushers in a new ice age. The narrative follows the journey of the survivors, including Hamner and a group led by Senator Arthur Jellison of California, as they grapple with the harsh realities of their drastically altered world.
