This author cites various examples from across the Earth of homogeneous and otherwise unexplained deposits laid down over large areas. He then takes a leap and partially describes a zany, interdimensional phenomenon for which he provides neither documentation nor quantification. A comet isn't really there, don't you know? It's yet another attempt to have catastrophism without the mess, to show that catastrophes happen, but we're all nice and safe.

The title warrants three stars for its much more conventional and interesting discussion of the Cities of Cibola, which occupies the author for the first half of the book. Petersen seems to have solved the problem of their location, alas too late for much to be done, even if this part of the work were to receive a wider audience.
