Mayfield was the typical college town. Nothing too unusual ever happenedthere until a mysterious comet was suddenly observed by the scientistson College Hill.
And then one day the modified engine on Ken Maddox's car beganoverheating mysteriously. By morning it didn't run at all.
Art's Garage, local headquarters for hot-rodders, was soon so full ofcars that wouldn't run, that Ken's science club began working in thegarage after school. It didn't take long for the club to discover thatall the moving parts on these stalled cars had fused together. Soon allmachinery had stopped in Mayfield. There was no longer any light orpower anywhere. This mysterious creeping paralysis was spreading.
The copper-yellow glow of the comet seemed to have brought the wholeworld to a grinding halt. Airplanes, trains, generators and heavymachinery were immobilized. Finally man was left with only a fewprimitive tools and communication became possible only by means ofamateur radio. In the resulting chaos parts of Mayfield were burned andlooted by hunger-crazed mobs that stole and killed as they advanced.
Here is science fiction at its thrilling best. A startling andthought-provoking book that shows how human nature might react tocatastrophe.
