The Asteroid

By Joe Bob Newman

Even though Earth has over a decade of warning, there is something very unusual about the Asteroid that is going to strike the planet. NASA sends a shuttle to checkout the object. What will the astronauts find? The President tries to destroy or divert it, but what if he is unsuccessful? When a piece of the object does strike Earth , a huge billowing cloud of ash covers the earth. Driving the planets temperature to a possible new ice age, and people into hiding. When the food supply runs out, people turn vicious. Morals fail and survival seems to be the only instinct. Will the people of Earth survive or become extinct like the dinosaurs?

Joe Bob Newman

I have been writing mystery and fiction books since 1982. I have never considered having any published until now. My career has been in writing technical documents for the defense industry. By profession I am a mechanical engineer, P.E. I have six grand children.. During the summer months, I spend a lot of time in the mountains of New Mexico. Watching wildlife and observing the ecology. i also enjoy riding my 4-wheeler. I built a cabin by myself, just above a stream filled with trout, perhaps i should say am building, I have been working on it for twenty years and it is still not finished, but it is livable, it has electricity, running water and a septic system. With that, I am happy to live there in the summer months and for a week or two in the winter, but I have found that I am not much of a "snow" person.I do hope you read and enjoy my books as much as I enjoyed writing them! Thanks for visiting my page.Joe Bob Newman
