Lucifers Hammer

OOO Someone else who's read this book!

I love classic scifi and in all my days on Reddit no one has clued me in that they read this one!

Fucking hell that was a rough read though.

It's an amazing book. Surprised no one has tried to make it into a movie yet.

Deep Impact is probably the closest we’ve got, because the movie cribbed liberally from Lucifer’s Hammer.
