Preston, Douglas
“Impact”
Forge Book/Tom Doherty Associates
2009
ISBN: 978-0-765-31768-1
NSS Reading Space Review

Librarian’s Note: Not what I expected, and certainly some speculative science fiction, with a couple of interesting twists at the end.

Librarian’s Note: The only real reason to watch this one is to stare in awe at just how much science they got so horribly wrong in one show.

Anderson, David Lee
“Asteroid Mine”
Artist’s Proof Print
2008
Artist’s Website

Librarian’s Note: One of the nice finds at FenCon this weekend. Since it’s an artist’s proof it doesn’t look exactly like the image you see here.

Ken Murphy / 2:31 am December 27th, 2007

The Science Channel
“Super Comet: After the Impact”
Discovery Communications, LLC
2007

Librarian’s Note: A bit sensationalistic, but then again asteroid impacts are love nibbles compared to comet impacts. Sort of a ‘Science Faction’ look at the subject. Sort of.

Escaped Mental Patient Review

Librarian’s Note: A fictional look at the theological considerations of a big rock from space. If you’re even vaguely considering it, please refer to the comments and various reviews noted above. It’s time better spent than watching this film.
