• All content is redone in a new style, with the author’s name and the title of the novel at the top.

The story begins with a comet passing by the Earth and collecting a few little pieces of it. A total of forty people from various countries and ages have been sentenced to a two-year voyage aboard the comet. They develop a mini-society to deal with the comet’s terrible environment (mostly the cold). The ‘comet’ has a diameter of around 2300 kilometres, significantly greater than any comet or asteroid known to exist.’
