Love that book. I need to find another copy to put back into my library.
Including that it either sinks Kalifornia or makes it into an island.

Great author and great book.
Lucifer’s Hammer is among my all time favorites
Others are:
On the Beach by Neville Shute
Alas Babylon by Pat Frank
Earth Abides by George R Stewart
-Kirk Brown-
Thanks for the recommendations. I really enjoyed Alas Babylon, so I’m sure I’ll like the other two.
Thank you for the recommendations. I learned with Lucifer’s Hammer (which I loved) to listen to the audio-book while exercising AND get the print book for those spots on the CD which are scratched and the player won’t read. I get them from the library so no $$$ outlay.
My twenty-something nephew read Lucifer’s Hammer on my recommendation. Now I have more for him.
I now am in the middle of Alas Babylon. Appreciating it greatly and amazed at the history that I was too young to know then. It was written in 1959 and is so similar to 2018. The more things change…
