"Entertaining. . .[Clark] handles both ideas and characters with
deftness and wit; in short, the outstanding living science fiction
writers is romping".-- "Chicago Sun-Times".
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. 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 Goliath
Captain Robert Singh and his crew must race against time to redirect the
meteor form its deadly collision course. Suddenly they find themselves
on the most important mission in human history--a mission whose success
may require the ultimate sacrifice.
"Clarke is still at the top of his game".-- "The Detroit News".
"As good as any anything he's written. . .for a hard-science-fiction
treat, I suspect "The Hammer Of God" won't be topped".-- "Star Tribune",
Minneapolis.
"Classic Clarke. . .a good story".-- "The Denver Post".
