"The Hammer of God," Arthur C. Clark

"My Gun Has Bullets," Lee Goldberg

"Dead Space," Lee Goldberg


Cliff's Notes


"Hammer"


An amateur astronomer discovers an asteroid that is on a collision course with earth. Then the race is on to see if disaster can be averted.

An interesting point is made that a willingness to accept risk is what makes life worthwhile. 

"Gun"


A Beverly Hills police officer is shot by the star of a popular TV show, during a routine traffic stop. The studio buys his silence by making him the star of his own program. Murder, mayhem, and some hilarity ensue.

"Space"

A sequel, of sorts, to "My Gun Has Bullets". Charlie Willis has abandoned his acting career to handle "special security" for the studio. It is not quite as entertaining, in my humble opinion. However, it does provide an interesting look behind the scenes of the network television industry.
