abstract:The Black Cloud is a science fiction novel written by astrophysicist Sir Fred Hoyle. Published in 1957, the book details the arrival of an enormous cloud of gas that enters the solar system and appears about to destroy most of the life on Earth by blocking the Sun's radiation.
But, when the glitter faded and the money ran out, administration followed, as did a huge blackcloud that threatened to engulf the very being of one of Scotland's great clubs.
