Greetings Astronomy Interest Group

Not since Carl Sagan penned the novel "Contact" has another such thrilling and largely plausible science fiction novel been written.

I am describing the book "Nemesis" (image attached) written by Dr Bill Napier, an astronomer at Armagh Observatory.

'The most exciting book I have ever read', is how renowned science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke describes the novel.

I have just finished reading it, and believe me, you're very likely to complete it in under two days as well - if not sooner!

Dr Napier is an internationally recognised authority on the celestial hazard issue, and you can learn more about him and his research at: www.arm.ac.uk/staff/billn.html

Now we eagerly await another exciting astronomy-related motion picture...  :-)
