Summary "Spawn of the Comet" by H. Thompson Rich is a science fiction novel that was originally published in 1931. The story revolves around the catastrophic consequences of a mysterious comet that releases fiery meteoroids, which are believed to be seeds or eggs, upon Earth. The narrative captures the ensuing chaos and terror as these extraterrestrial entities hatch and unleash terrifying creatures that threaten humanity. The plot unfolds through the eyes of Jim Carter, a reporter who witnesses the initial meteor showers and soon learns about the bizarre phenomenon linked to the comet. Jim's journey takes him from New York to Hartford, where he interacts with Professor Wentworth and his daughter, Joan. Together, they face the terror of monstrous, fiery ants that wreak havoc across the globe. As the situation escalates, the team devises a plan to combat this new threat, culminating in a desperate attempt to wield a powerful weapon believed to defeat the horde. Ultimately, the story blends suspense and science fiction elements, capturing humanity’s struggle against an alien invader while exploring themes of sacrifice and survival.
