short story
By Frederik Pohl

Synopsis

A comet passes the earth which hides an unfriendly alien spacecraft.

History

First publication: Galaxy, November 1973

Review

This story is light and satirical. It kind of mirrors Wells’ In the Days of the Comet, but is short and doesn’t take the subject seriously. It’s a good and enjoyable story, but not great.
