Shiva Descending
The first strikes destroyed Cleveland, Tunis, and parts of Alaska, Canada, and Australia. That was barely the beginning.
The swarm — a cloud of meteors and asteroids 50,000 miles across — was coming. Hundred of missiles put Earth under siege, forcing the world in a panicked hell of anarchy and catastrophe. Riots and orgies rampaged in the rubble. And worse waited.
Because at the swarm’s heart was Shiva — a 30 billion-ton comet set to hit earth with the force of 250,000 H-bombs. The impact would turn seas into vapor and mountains into dust. Pray, scream, get drunk, or run amok — but no one could escape it. No one could survive it.
And no one could stop it.
