N2  - "Comet's Burial" by Raymond Z. Gallun is a science fiction novel likely written in the mid-20th century. The story unfolds in the harsh environment of the Moon, where explorers venture to uncover its mysteries and resources. The narrative primarily explores themes of survival, ambition, and the pursuit of a better future amidst one of humanity's most daunting frontiers.  The plot follows Arne Copeland and Jess Brinker as they navigate the lunar landscape, drawn together by dreams of prosperity and sustainability on the barren Moon. Jess, burdened by the notorious reputation of his father, seeks to rectify his legacy by attempting an audacious plan involving Brulow's Comet to create a livable environment on the Moon. As they undertake this perilous mission, they face dangers not only from the desolate environment but also from fellow adventurers and the legal system that threatens their lives. Ultimately, they succeed in deflecting the comet to impact the Moon, leading to unforeseen consequences that bring notoriety and later vindication, reflecting both the potential and risks inherent in human ambition.
