Hey guys, I need some help here for a novel I'm writing which is mainly fantasy but has a lot of sci fi elements to it.
Well basically the story will be set either now or some time in the not so distant future (anywhere between 100-500 years) when some kind of meteor shower will hit the earth (I'm thinking the rocks being about the size of an average house or smaller) which will rain down all over the planet (actually that might be a bit of a problem because it means the rocks will have to be coming from all directions instead of just one.. hmm. at least I think that would be the case). The meteor showers wouldn't be so bad as to drive the planet into extintion, but many people would be killed and all cities and towns would have problems with economy, starvation, sheltering etc. because a lot of buildings and such have been destroyed. But 17 or so years later, the world and the people are beginning to recover even though it is taking a lot of effort.. [This is all in the beginning of the story or possibly even just background info]
Well that's what I've got so far... however I am not very knowledgable when it comes to science lol so I don't know whether or not it is plausable. I mean it doesn't have to be 100% realistic, especially since it is mainly fantasy but I would like it to at least be verging on the truth. Therefore if you know anything about what would happen in the result of such a collision or how the earth would be after one or anything else related.. I'd appreciate if you could let me know or give me some starting points like websites and such..
