The senator and the politics of the farming community were entirely believable.

The idea of a farming community becoming the kickoff point for civilization after an apocolyptic event makes sense. It was a quick read once the disaster occurred (1/3 of the way through the book). I had to keep reminding myself that this was written a couple of decades ago. With Lucifer's Hammer, I didn't even care if Earth survived! I also don't agree with Niven's idea of what would happen in a situation such as this. I generally find a science fiction book worthwhile if I finish it and wished it was part of a larger series. I didn't find myself emotionally involved with any of the characters. The story was interesting, but I was a bit disappointed with it. The novel follows a group of people that all meet up at a farming community that has managed to survive total destruction. Tidal waves, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tornados, blizzards, and glaciers destroy most of civilization, most of the Earth's population, and just about all of the Earth's supply of food. The story details a cometary impact on Earth that causes. I'm glad I read this book, but it definitely isn't on my list of favorites. Lucifers Hammer is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.
