This review is from: The Year of the Comet (Paperback)

"The Year of the Comet" foresees a world split up, not into States and Kingdoms, but into a business Group. The hero is a scientist with a secret which will give supreme authority to any group in control of it. Inevitably he finds himself the centre of murderous intrigues. In the tradition of H G Wells and Jules Verne.

"A devastating novel of prophecy and horror by one of the top writers of science fiction."

"In the 21st century a dedicated young scientist ordered to take over a top secret project has no idea that he will soon become the most dangerous man on Earth."

"When Charles Grayner, a dedicated young scientist of the 21st century became employed by one of the great ruling powers, he had no idea that he would hold the key to the future of civilization as we know it."
