Hammer of God

<b> Entertaining . . . [Arthur Clarke] handles both ideas and characters with deftness and wit; in short the outstanding living science fiction writer is romping.--<i>Chicago Sun-Times</i></b> <p/>In the year 2110 technology has cured most of our worries. But even as humankind enters a new golden age an amateur astronomer points his telescope at just the right corner of the night sky and sees disaster hurtling toward Earth: a chunk of rock that could annihilate civilization. <p/>While a few fanatics welcome the apocalyptic destruction as a sign from God the greatest scientific minds of Earth desperately search for a way to avoid the inevitable. On board the starship <i>Goliath</i> Captain Robert Singh and his crew must race against time to redirect the meteor form its deadly collision course. <p/> Suddenly they find themselves on the most important mission in human history--a mission whose success may require the ultimate sacrifice. <p/><b>Praise for </b><i><b>The Hammer of God</b></i> <p/>Clarke is still at the top of his game.<b>--<i>The Detroit News</i></b> <p/>As good as anything he has written . . .
