Reviews
"A perfect companion for this new age of cometary exploration. Wildly imaginative but scientifically plausible, this is a perfect choice for those who love Niven and Pournelle, Gregory Benford, Vernor Vinge, or David Brin. Excellent!" --Greg Bear, author of The Forge of God and Eon "Astonishing . . . [The scientific accuracy is that of a] professional scientist." --Arthur C. Clarke on The Jupiter Theft "Enthralling, mind-boggling, magnificent! Science fiction in the grand tradition . . . a magical mystery tour." -- Locus on the Genesis saga "A really audacious idea." -- Locus on A Gathering of Stars "Fans of Larry Niven, Peter Hamilton, and Arthur C. Clarke will find more than ample excitement in Moffitt's novels--they're packed with ideas and the true spirit of high-tech adventure." --Greg Bear "An author of numerate, physics-oriented, fast-moving hard sf adventures . . . a competence with mythopoeically large scales and calculations . . . The focus of the tales . . . is firmly on the wide-scale action and the physics." -- The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, "Astonishing . . . [The scientific accuracy is that of a] professional scientist." --Arthur C. Clarke on The Jupiter Theft "Enthralling, mind-boggling, magnificent!

Synopsis
From the visionary author of The Genesis Quest , a "wildly imaginative" (Greg Bear) science fiction novel about a young man's struggle for survival on a comet made of ice. In Donald Moffitt's brilliant cosmic adventure, Torris, son of the Facemaker, knows only his small community at the base of the great Tree on a comet with almost no gravity or atmosphere. Torris's daily struggle for survival includes harvesting frozen air to keep breathing, dodging flutterbeasts, and hunting meatbeasts for food. When the time comes to make his vision quest to the top of the Tree, Torris is completely unprepared for what he finds: a thieving and hostile fellow quester; Ning, a female hunter in search of food to save her family on a neighboring comet; and humans from a massive starship that has spent billions of years crossing the galaxy from Earth's solar system. Perfect for fans of Arthur C. Clarke, Larry Niven, and Peter F. Hamilton, Children of the Comet is an enthralling space odyssey about a young man grappling with unexpected cultural differences and learning to adapt in the face of an uncertain and rapidly changing fantastical future.
