  1. 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.
    “Hot fudge Sundae arrives on a Tuesday”

  2. 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

  3. 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…
