After the End | |
Lucifer's Hammer / int_334e48a1 | comment |
After the End: Unusually for this type of story, the cometary impact doesn't happen until a third of the way in. The last two-thirds of the book is all about this trope. | |

Lucifer's Hammer / int_73ef9ef3 | comment |
Almighty Janitor: JPL janitor Al Masterson has lots of vital supplies gathered when the comet hits. His job lets him learn enough about the comet to understand how much damage it might cause, while his lack of scientific expertise keeps him from realizing that there's a strong chance it won't hit (which is why the scientists are caught unprepared). | |
