Replying to @AuldenGhostley @BrowningMachine and
the prepper novel I want to write is best described as the same function I applied to Heinlein's The Moon is A Harsh Mistress to generate The Powers of the Earth, but applied to Lucifer's Hammer

I had conversations with Jerry about returning to that world or another take on the story in a later era better equipped to track and react to the comet. It's something he thought about a fair bit but it never really came together.

I suspect projects like that, trying to be as accurate as possible in a contemporary setting, are very demanding and 'Footfall' was the last time the conditions were right to let them make it happen.

yeah, I've been assuming that Footfall was the last real SF novel we'd see from those guys :(

Well, there is 'Fallen Angels', 'Burning City' and its sequel, and the Avalon books. Setting a story in the here and now and making it feel real is a tough job compared to creating a world where you can do whatever you want. I know Jerry always felt conflicted about just FTL.

Fallen Angels was good fun. Burning City, etc. were meh, and were my first realization that both authors already had their best work behind them.
