THE BLACK CLOUD - FRED HOYLE KARTONIERT (TB)

This is a 1959 classic 'hard' science-fiction novel by renowned Cambridge astronomer and
cosmologist Fred Hoyle. It tracks the progress of a giant black cloud that comes towards Earth
and sits in front of the sun  causing widespread panic and death. A select group of scientists
and astronomers - including the dignified Astronomer Royal  the pipe smoking Dr. Marlowe and
the maverick  eccentric Professor Kingsly - engage in a mad race to understand and communicate
with the cloud  battling against trigger happy politicians. In the pacy  engaging style of John
Wyndham and John Christopher  with plenty of hard science thrown in to add to the chillingly
credible premise (he manages to foretell Artificial Intelligence  Optical Character Recognition
and Text-to-Speech converters)  Hoyle carries you breathlessly through to its thrilling end.
