Asteroid 1966 JA1, the size of Wembley Stadium, was on a collision course with Earth. Had it to hit, it would have devastated the surface of the planet with an explosive release of energy five times more powerful than the sum of the world's nuclear arsenal. The world's powers watched, helpless to prevent the impending disaster. No public warning was given. At the last moment, its trajectory carried away from our planet with only hours to spare. We were lucky ..... this time. In impact earth, Austen Atkinson not only highlights the threat of a major collision. He also exposes evidence of an international conspiracy to conceal the danger of the impact phenomenon and looks at the way in which we can try to avert disaster." -- from the front fold over panel blurb.
