One of his research students, Mike Howarth, has picked up strange signals on his satellite telemetry equipment, signals that appear to emanate from a passing comet. Not long after he has passed the vital data into Isaac Newton's hands, Howarth is found dead. Soon after that, it becomes clear that some people in very high places - including the Kremlin and the White House - are more than a little interested in the remarkable events taking place at the Cavendish.

And the Comet's extraordinary intentions - not to mention its devastating methods of communicating them to Earth - promise a new dawn for humanity.

Comet Weather (The Fallow Sisters)
by Liz WilliamsThis tale of four fey sisters is &“a golden slice of British rural fantasy in the tradition of Diana Wynne Jones and Tanith Lee. . . . I loved it&” (Paul Cornell, New York Times–bestselling author of Witches of Lychford). Levelheaded Bee still lives at Mooncote, the family home in Somerset, where she has an unconventional boyfriend of whom her sisters are unaware. Stella, a DJ who&’s just done some gigs in Ibiza, has vowed never to return to Mooncote after a row with Bee. Single mother and fashion designer Serena lives in Notting Hill with growing doubts about her relationship with her longtime boyfriend, a rock musician. And Luna, the youngest, is a wanderer living out of a horse-drawn van while she follows a trail of horse fairs across the country. The four Fallow sisters are scattered like the four winds. But now, with the comet due, they&’re drawn back together, united in their desire to find their mother, free-spirited Alys, who disappeared a year ago. They have help, of course, from the star spirits and the no-longer-living, but such advice tends to be cryptic and is hardly the most dependable of guides . . . &“In Comet Weather, Liz Williams has crafted something marvellous. This is a book full of wonder, horror, love, heartbreak, strangeness, and a gorgeously evoked sense of time and place. Between one page and the next you&’ll be laughing out loud, then shivering to your bones.&” —Alastair Reynolds, award-winning author of Eversion and Revelation Space &“This quick-witted and intriguing contemporary fantasy is fresh and original, while also harking back to the mythology of the English landscape and the classic literature that has inspired. A many-faceted delight.&” —Juliet E. McKenna, author of the Green Man series &“A perfect pleasure to read. Think [Neil] Gaiman: imagination enriched with history, culture, geography, astronomy and archaeology, and a dash of romance.&” —Aurealis &“One of the most affecting and accomplished fantasy novels of the year so far.&” —Locus &“Mesmerizing.&” —SciFi Mind
Comet in Moominland
by Tove Jansson Elizabeth Portch"One thing is certain," said the Muskrat, "something is going to happen." When a secret sign -- a star with a tail -- started to appear all over Moominvalley, Moomintroll realized that it was either a threat or a warning. On the Muskrat's advice he set out, with the small animal Sniff, to ask the Professor in the Observatory on the Lonely Mountains about the habits of comets, just in case one was headed for the earth. Moominmamma had made them sandwiches and packed woolly trousers, a frying-pan and an umbrella, so they were well equipped for the expedition. There were plenty of adventures to be met on the way, as well as some very interesting people -- Snufkin, who played cheerful tunes on his mouth-organ, the moth-collecting Hemulen, and the Snork Maiden who completely changed Moomintroll's life. They discovered, too, that they were in real danger from the comet, which appeared to be rushing toward Moominvalley. This lively and unpredictable adventure story is written with Tove Jansson's usual whimsical humor. She was awarded the 1966 international Hans Christian Andersen Medal for her Moomin books.
