Read it a few years back, and enjoyed it. Smile | :)

IIRC, there was some sort of "magic bullet" particle from outside of the solar system which caused the initial fracture, and the fragments then collided with each other repeatedly, producing ever smaller fragments.

I don't think the original cause was ever explained.
