	Just a short note to tip off those of you (all 3, no doubt) who
haven't read this yet -- do so.  It is based on one "science-fictional"
premise -- pieces of a wandering comet come down on earth with some 
advance warning.  Some of the book falls into the standard "It's-the-end-
of-the-world-anyway-so-let's-{steal, rape, murder, eat lunch}" category,
but by and large the authors avoid this trap. (Niven/Pournelle)
	The characterizations are vivid, the events are believable, and the
storyline is well-structured.  Go buy it.
