		       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!
