AsterMeteorCometoid!
(2015)A Tale of Biblical, Evangelical and Rock-Crushing Proportions
A novel by Harvey Jacobs
It's an Asteroid. It's a Meteor. It's a Comet. It's AsterMeteorCometoid! (AMC). It's all three rolled into one. And it's coming to destroy Earth.
When a space rock the size of Texas heads on a collision course with Earth, scientists bring Moses back from the past so he can part it just like he did the Red Sea. But, a fundamentalist preacher decides the AsterMeteorCometoid (AMC) is a herald for The Rapture and he will do everything in his power to "bring it on."
Everything seems to go well for Moses at first. He's a snap at parting hair and Rocky Road ice cream (his favorite), but problems arise when they discover his talents are limited to water-based objects. And the AMC is igneous. It's as dry as a bone. So the military fire Moses and replace him with Thor who will smash the AMC with his hammer, Mjollnir.
But the fundamentalist preacher will not be thwarted. He has plans to bring down both Moses and Thor. So the battle is on to destroy the AMC and save the old world or save the AMC and bring on the next world.
Meanwhile, the President of the United States is having marital problems. And astronauts from NASA refuse to go on a suicide mission to intercept the AMC.
