The wary politician reluctantly agreed and yielded to the pressures from the President's advisor. He would hear the futuristic plans of a former cloud seeder and decorated weather controller in Vietnam. His condition for bringing an end to the drought in the Western States is to have an unprecedented Federal License to cause rain by seeding the clouds west of the Rocky Mountains. Will efforts to divert an object from outer space on a collision course with the earth fail? Is a plan needed to contain the devastating effects of the asteroid? For the first time in sixty five million years the Earth is at imminent risk of total annihilation by an object falling from deep outer space. Considering the effects on mankind and fearing for his reelection unless the far-flung drought is eased, the senator weighs his options. After dogged negotiations the senator agrees with the world-renowned scientists who for seven centuries to the present have predicted this event. It remains to be seen if the expert and his team of eminent scientists can deliver on the challenges they have accepted.
