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.

The Comet Seekers: A Novel
by Helen Sedgwick“An exquisitely layered, thrilling novel that leaps across centuries and continents to delve into the role of destiny and the elusiveness of perception.” —Carmela Ciuraru, New York TimesRóisín and François are immediately drawn to each other when they meet at a remote research base in Antarctica. At first glance, the pair could not be more different. Róisín, a daughter of Ireland and a peripatetic astronomer, joins the science team to observe the fracturing of a comet overhead. François, the base’s chef, has just left his birthplace in Bayeux, France, for only the second time in his life. Yet devastating tragedy and the longing for a fresh start, as well as an indelible but unknown bond that stretches back centuries, connect them to each other.Helen Sedgwick carefully unfolds their intertwined paths, moving forward and back through time to reveal how these lovers’ destinies have long been tied to each other by the skies—the arrival of comets great and small. In telling Róisín and François’s story, Sedgwick illuminates the lives of their ancestors, showing how strangers can be connected and ghosts can be real, and how the way we choose to see the world can be as desolate or as beautiful as the comets themselves.“A gorgeous novel that should resonate with fans of Audrey Niffenegger’s The Time Traveller’s Wife.” —Elle “Heartbreaking and satisfying.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review“Pointedly lyrical. . . . As in the work of contemporary fabulists like Kelly Link, Helen Oyeyemi and Audrey Niffenegger, the real intersects matter-of-factly with the supernatural.” —Andrea Barrett, New York Times Book Review“[A] beautiful, character-driven novel, which is reminiscent of the work of Amy Bloom and Elizabeth Strout.” —Booklist
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
The Cometeers
by Jack WilliamsonIn the second book in the Legion of Space series, Jay Kalam, Hal Samdu and Giles Habibula fight The Cometeers, an alien race of energy beings controlling a "comet" which is really a giant force field containing a swarm of planets populated by their slaves. The slave races are of flesh and blood, but none are remotely similar to humans. The Cometeers cannot be destroyed by AKKA, as they are incorporeal from the Universe's point of view and exist for the most part in an alternate reality. The ruling Cometeers feed on their slaves and literally absorb their souls, leaving disgusting, dying hulks in their wake. It is said that they do so, as they were once fleshly entities themselves of various species. Hence, the ruling Cometeers keep other intelligent beings as slaves and "cattle." They fear AKKA, though, as it can erase all their possessions.
