It is 2061, and Halley's Comet is starting its long journey out to the far reaches of the solar system. Only this time it is not alone. Harnessing the mighty ball of ice is the greatest challenge mankind has undertaken - and in a century of ecological disasters and social fragmentation on Earth it is also mankind's greatest hope. So when a series of startling discoveries threatens to jeopardise the mission, the small group of scientists and engineers hurtling further away from their home world find themselves fighting not only for their lives, but for the future of humanity. Heart of the Comet is a breathtaking tale of scientific endeavour and human courage by two of the most formidable talents in science fiction.
