"Fall-Out" Paralyzes Civilization

Mayfield was the typical college town. Nothing too unusual ever happened
there until a mysterious comet was suddenly observed by the scientists
on College Hill.

And then one day the modified engine on Ken Maddox's car began
overheating mysteriously. By morning it didn't run at all.

Art's Garage, local headquarters for hot-rodders, was soon so full of
cars that wouldn't run, that Ken's science club began working in the
garage after school. It didn't take long for the club to discover that
all the moving parts on these stalled cars had fused together. Soon all
machinery had stopped in Mayfield. There was no longer any light or
power anywhere. This mysterious creeping paralysis was spreading.

The copper-yellow glow of the comet seemed to have brought the whole
world to a grinding halt. Airplanes, trains, generators and heavy
machinery were immobilized. Finally man was left with only a few
primitive tools and communication became possible only by means of
amateur radio. In the resulting chaos parts of Mayfield were burned and
looted by hunger-crazed mobs that stole and killed as they advanced.

Here is science fiction at its thrilling best. A startling and
thought-provoking book that shows how human nature might react to
catastrophe.
