Quote:The acclaimed author of The Forever War imagines a future in which most of humanity has abandoned Earth for man-made habitats orbiting the troubled world.

In Worlds, Worlds Apart, and Worlds Enough and Time, the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author imagines a near future rife with exhilarating and terrifying possibilities, when hundreds of thousands of human beings have abandoned the Earth's surface to live in man-made habitats orbiting the troubled planet.

Haldeman's science fiction saga follows Marianne O'Hara, a young inhabitant of the World known as New New York, from her arrival on Earth as a student who becomes seduced by radical politics, through her coming of age amid the Worlds' war and the habitats' devastation, and ultimately to Marianne's emergence as a leader-and possibly the last hope of the human race as it heads toward the stars.

Stephen King said of the first book in Haldeman's trilogy, "There are scenes in Worlds I will remember forever." These gripping novels will enthrall anyone interested in the future-that of our planet and of the human race.
