doom wind

It started out slightly slow but picked up quickly. Once it did I was reluctant to put it down. I found myself wishing there was more to read.

suspenseful

This story centers around a comet passing near the earth. Though there is little danger of it actually hitting the earth, it comes close enough to disrupt weather patterns. It causes period of heat and stiflng lack of any breeze. A lightly regarded scientist develops an explanation for this, and predicts an end to the Great Calm. It is to be followed by five atmospheric disturbances of increasing intensity. The first is to be a very light breeze; the last could have the strength of a superhurricane engulfing the northern hemisphere. Some people believe the scientist; many do not. As a weather hobbyist, I found little reason to suppose that a comet's near miss would bring these results. Aside from that, I found the story very enjoyable to read. As the first three "waves" prove the scientist correct, the suspense really mounts in anticipation of the last two. The characters, while not unforgettable, are sufficiently depicted for you to care what happens to them. Though not as great as LUCIFER'S HAMMER, this is an above-average story; I can recommend it.
