The Hammer of God


 

The Hammer of God is a science fiction novel written by Arthur C. Clarke in 1993. It deals with an asteroid named Kali headed toward Earth. Captain Robert Singh of The Spacecraft Goliath is sent to destroy it. Kali is discovered by Dr Angus Miller an amuteur astronmer on the planet Mars. Clarke reintroduces the idea of project SPACEGUARD, which he first mentioned in Rendezvous With Rama as a project to detect Near Earth Objects. Clarke also brings in a character similer to HAL 9000, Goliath's onboard super-computer is named David and is very similer to HAL from 2001: a space odyssey.
