Wow---someone sure did their work on Tunguska and popular culture---
but this is too specific for me.

I was advised the storylines of several recent films contain a
meteorite thread or reference??

And then,...

"Deception Point" (Dan Brown) whose German translation is entitled
"Meteor";
"Smilla's Sense of Snow" (Peter Hoeg)
National Geographic's Naked Science: Countdown to Impact
