SHIVA DESCENDING by Greg Benford
Tor, 1980 (1985), $3.95.
A book review by Evelyn C. Leeper
A 30-billion ton comet is going to hit Earth. What an original idea!
I had gotten tired of books about asteroids about to hit the earth. And
what happens? There are riots, and religious fanatics, and orgies, and in
the midst of it all, a few rational, dedicated scientists working their
little hearts out to save the rest of humanity from almost certain doom.
And sex--there's lots of sex.
It would be a hell of a mini-series. As science fiction, well, blech!

Another slip. SHIVA DESCENDING was by Gregory Benford and William Rotsler, not just Benford. I need another vacation! Evelyn C.
