«Heart of the Comet» is the science fiction novel by Gregory Benford and David Brin, published by Orbit in paperback (496 pages, in English).
The novel recounts the scientific expedition sent to Halley's Comet to study it and make it habitable for human life. In its core they find unexpected life and secrets, and the planned colonization turns into a fierce struggle for survival. To the hostility of the environment are added the internal rivalries of a crew that reproduces the fears and fractures of an Earth on the brink of disaster.
Written by Gregory Benford and David Brin, it was originally published in 1986; this Orbit edition is from 1997 and was nominated for the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 1987.
Recommended for readers of hard science fiction and space opera, particularly those who enjoy space missions, colonization and the limits of the human condition.
