The meteor is not a rock. It is a kennel . The "Hounds" are not dogs. They are the psychic residue of dead suns—hunting dogs of a dead god. The story follows a lone sorcerer (or a doomed shepherd, depending on the draft) who witnesses the green fire streak across the sepulchral sky of Zothique. He realizes too late that the meteor isn't crashing into the ground. It is landing .

Okay, I just discovered — and wow.

The phrase "hounds of the meteor full" is believed to have originated from ancient Norse mythology. According to the Poetic Edda, a medieval Icelandic manuscript of Old Norse poems, the "Hounds of the Moon" (Máni's Hunds) were a group of dogs that chased the moon across the sky. The most famous of these hounds was a giant dog named Skoll, who was said to pursue the sun (Sol) and the moon (Máni) across the sky.
