«Catástrofe en el espacio» is the science fiction novel by Harry Harrison, published by Ultramar Editores in paperback (576 pages, in Spanish).
The spaceship Prometheus, the largest ever launched, goes out of control in a descending orbit over London, Moscow and New York. With uranium 235 on board, an impact with Earth would be equivalent to an atomic bomb and triggers an international alert, reviving the old fear of space disasters.
The original novel is titled «Skyfall» and was published in 1976.
Will appeal to those seeking classic science fiction with thriller tension and space disasters.
Harry Max Harrison was an American science fiction author, known mostly for his character The Stainless Steel Rat and for his novel Make Room! Make Room! (1966). The latter was the rough basis for the motion picture Soylent Green (1973). Long resident in both Ireland and the United Kingdom, Harrison was involved in the foundation of the Irish Science Fiction Association, and was, with Brian Aldiss, co-president of the Birmingham Science Fiction Group.
