The novel WORMWOOD, by John I Coby, is a narrative of the times before, during and after a catastrophic, extinction-level event (ELE) caused by the impact of a rogue comet with Earth. It tells tales of Earthlings and Aliens negotiating through a Biblical event, through a mass extinction. The only kind of future that can be predicted by anyone is one with mathematical certainty - for example, the orbit of a comet. A gargantuan comet hurtles through interstellar space on its elliptical trajectory towards an extinction-level impact with Earth. The Aliens have known about it for over 6000 years. Adam is unknowingly chosen, by the Aliens, for relocation as part of a grand plan to save the Earth's species from certain extinction. WORMWOOD is a re-edited compilation of 2023, 2023.2 and 2123.

The road trip is on! It’s the early 80s, and two good friends, Matt and Sandy, decide to head off around New Zealand’s South Island in a battered old van. They are accompanied on their journey with a ready supply of humour, if not by much money. That humorous take on things definitely comes in handy, as along the way they get themselves into plenty of trouble, both by their own doing, and by just sheer bad luck. The absolute beauty of the places they visit is in sharp contrast to some of the people they meet, and to some of the misguided situations they find themselves in. Notwithstanding more than a touch of occasional danger and general mishaps, they never lose their great appreciation of humour, which always, somehow, manages to help them sort things out.
