The Black Cloud – Fred Hoyle

Now this is my kind of book – classic/old-school science fiction based on real science!  A team of the world’s leading astrophysicists is assembled after a young astronomer stumbles upon the discovery a massive black cloud moving directly towards Earth. The cloud sits between Earth and the Sun, causing devastation around the world. The story suddenly takes a twist when the team of scientists learn that the cloud is intelligent and can be communicated with. It is written by Cambridge astronomer and Cosmologist Sir Fred Hoyle, so it’s no surprise that the extraordinary events in this book are explained using “real” scientific principles.
