By the author of The Forever War: The classic Worlds trilogy continues as a survivor of a destructive conflict must work to prevent humanityâs extinction.
The war that destroyed everything lasted a single day. After an initial nuclear strike, the Earthâs population was further devastated by an insidious bioweapon targeting anyone above the age of puberty. Now most of whatâs left of human civilization gathers on New New York, one of the few orbiting Worlds that remain.
Monitoring the Earth below from the floating habitat, Marianne OâHara searches for signs of lifeâand, in particular, for Jeff Hawking, her former lover, who survived the viral nightmare thanks to a biological anomaly that rendered him immune. But Jeff is not the sole surviving adult in this landscape of death, ruin, and feral children, and those who fled to safety underground are being seduced by a terrible new religion preaching blood and vengeance. The last war, it seems, is not overâand the last hope for preventing the final holocaust may be Marianne OâHara.
The second enthralling volume in Hugo and Nebula Awardâwinning author Joe Haldemanâs acclaimed Worlds trilogy, Worlds Apart is a thought-provoking tale of human frailty and lethal folly, and of the courage essential for the survival of the race.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Joe Haldeman including rare images from the authorâs personal collection
