re-invasion from the moon
terraforming earth by jack williamson is a post-apocalyptic scifi novel about an outpost on the moon that is set up to clone a set of humans who are then taught how to go about terraforming the earth after an apocalyptic event (an asteroid/comet strike).
but it takes a few different generations of clones to get it right, with some of the attempts failing due to various problems (aliens, another asteroid, stupid humans).
it’s a pretty good read, and a quick read. the ending is rather bland.

Williamson died at the age of 98 last Friday. He had published fiction in every decade from the 1920's to the 2000's. Hell of a guy, and he'll be missed.
