by David H. Levy

Book Overview

Brighter than stars, they awe and inspire with their fiery beauty--and hold the potential for incalculable devastation. Titanic masses of ice, dust, and carbon--among the most mysterious and misunderstood bodies in the universe--they date back to the birth of the solar system. Millions of years ago, they may have helped create life on Earth--and, someday, they may destroy it.
