Synopsis: The acclaimed author of The Forever War imagines a future in which most of humanity has abandoned Earth, living in man-made habitats orbiting a troubled world. In Worlds, Worlds Apart, and Worlds Enough and Time, the acclaimed Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of The Forever War 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.
