Thor's Hammer (1983) is the title of two science fiction novels, one by Australian author Wynne Whiteford, about mining in the asteroids, and another (2017) by U.S. author David Rogers, about a future world and a group of people with powers to jump through time and space in search of a better world. Whiteford describes an attempt by an unbalanced fanatic stationed in the asteroid belt to destroy Earth civilisation by directing an asteroid at Earth. Rogers imagines a world troubled by overpopulation and environmental disaster and suggests what the fate of the human race in such a world may be.
