I've read every one of his stories at least twice, and The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate more like seven times.

New Study Fuels Debate Over World-Changing Comet Strike 12,800 Years Ago

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-17 08:10:34

Roughly 12,800 years ago, as Earth was emerging from its last great ice age, temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere suddenly plummeted back to near-glacial conditions.

Researchers analyzed sediment cores extracted from the seafloor of Baffin Bay near Greenland, finding indicators of a cosmic impact event inside the layer
