Hi Les and all,

I've read a similar book to this, concerning a large cloud of dust
which moves between the Sun and the Earth. It predicts massive storms

A film sounds like a fantastic idea, although I expect someone from
the US will soon sort it out by firing nukes at the cloud, or
something!

'The Dark Cloud' by Fred Hoyle.

I suspect the two books may be one in the same.
