Editorial Reviews

"A work in the grand tradition ... even the miracle of Sensurround may be inadequate to convey all the imaginative reverberations."

The Los Angeles Times

"A 'Disaster' thriller of rare quality ... for its expertise and the scale of its apocalypse ... Strings out the suspense almost unbearably."

John Barkham Reviews

"The first satisfying end-of-the-world novel in years ... an ultimate one ... massively entertaining."

Cleveland Plain-Dealer

"Take your earthquakes, waterlogged condominiums, swarms of bugs, colliding airplanes and flaming what-nots, wrap them up and they wouldn't match one page of LUCIFER'S HAMMER for sweaty-palmed suspense."

The Chicago Daily News

"A MEGATON OF SUSPENSEFUL EXCITEMENT ... which should keep readers going non-stop, cover to cover."
