Book Synopsis Asteroid Apophis by : John S Pritchett
Book excerpt: Apophis was the venerable Egyptian divinity who embodied chaos. He shows up in literature as a giant snake. Egyptians viewed Apophis as the highest adversary of Ra, the Sun god, and therefore provided him the title Enemy of Ra, and "the Lord of Chaos". Apophis is also the formal Minor Planet Center number-name combination extended to the asteroid 99942-Apophis, headed towards Earth.
