I assume the reference is to SHIVA DESCENDING, one of the first of the
current flood of `hammeroid' novels and made-for-TVs and Spielbergs... >>
Nope...it's earlier than that...but I think I do remember the one you
mentioned...kinda like LUCIFER'S HAMMER by Pournelle and Niven?
The one I refer to is by an obscure author whom I haven't seen before or
since...Now that I think about it the giggle factor is quiet a bit higher
that %50...in fact the Ionisphere to Ground short is about the only
beleivable thing about it....and that's why it stuck in my head I
guess...kind of a Velokovsky type story...explains Noah, Mythology...etc
etc...by prehistoric civilization...
