Hi Mike,

You won't like this answer, but the image on the back cover of the book
which is apparently the referenced image in the credit on the back flap
of the book available at your link:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/sitbv3/reader?ie=UTF8&p=S05G&asin=0060741414

Is of an erroneously ablating meteoroid in outer space with a fiery
tail and an atmospheric entry-ablative form which is actually part
image made by Frank Whitney(Getty Images) supposedly of a painting he
photographed of a comet near earth with the fiery entry-syled bolide
tail and no coma, and used as an example of an asteroid in the below
link. The erroneous celestial representation was apparently cut out of
the image and digitally pasted above a picture of the Black Hills,
though the topography looks something like Alpine New Mexico ...

Hope this helps,
Best Buying,

Hi List
Here is a fictional book with the plot line about a meteorite.
In the information on Amazon they give photo credit for a meteorite.
Does anyone know which meteorite they used?
