Science Fiction
By the author of The Forever War: In the near future, an
idealistic young student visiting Earth from an orbiting
colony becomes ensnared in radical politics and a dark
conspiracy of violent destruction By the close of the twenty-first century, almost half a
million souls have already abandoned Earth to live in
satellites orbiting the strife-ridden planet. Each of these
forty-one Worlds is an independent entity boasting its own
government and culture, yet each remains bound to the
troubled home World by economic pressure.
A brilliant student of political science born and raised in
New New York, the largest of the orbiting Worlds, young
Marianne O’Hara has never been to the surface but now has a
golden opportunity to continue her studies far below her
floating home of steel. Life on Earth, however, is very
different from anything she has ever experienced.
With power in the hands of a privileged few and unrest
running rampant, the allure of radical politics might be too
much for an idealistic and inexperienced young World dweller
to resist. But even the best of intentions can have
disastrous consequences, and Marianne soon finds herself
unwittingly drawn into a wide-ranging conspiracy that could
result in the total destruction of everything on Earth . . .
and above.
The first book in the acclaimed science fiction trilogy by
Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author Joe Haldeman, Worlds
offers a powerful vision of a possible future. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Joe Haldeman
including rare images from the author’s personal collection.
