description: A comet rushes toward Earth, a glowing orb filling the sky, promising doom. Humanity is too busy hating, stealing, scheming &amp; killing to care. As luminous green trails of cosmic dust &amp; vapor stream across the heavens, blood flows beneath: nations wage wars, bitter strikes erupt, jealous lovers plot revenge &amp; murder. Earth slips past the comet by a narrow margins, but all succumb to the gases in its tail. When everyone wakes up, they are completely &amp; profoundly different. In the Days of the Comet is Wells's tale of the last days of old Earth &amp; the extraterrestrial change that is the salvation of the species. An ill-fated romance between Willie Leadford &amp; Nettie Stuart unfolds in a world buried in misery &amp; bent on destruction. After Earth passes thru the comet's tail, suffering, pettiness &amp; injustice melt away. Willie, Nettie &amp; all around them are reborn. They now see themselves &amp; their world in a dramatically new way.
