#1 – When Worlds Collide:
A runaway planet hurtles toward the earth. As it draws near, massive tidal waves, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions wrack our planet, devastating continents, drowning cities, and wiping out millions. In central North America, a team of scientists race to build a spacecraft powerful enough to escape the doomed earth. Their greatest threat, they soon discover, comes not from the skies but from other humans. A crackling plot and sizzling, cataclysmic vision have made When Worlds Collide one of the most popular and influential end-of-the-world novels of all time.
#2 – After Worlds Collide
After Worlds Collide picks up the story of its predecessor, When Worlds Collide. This sequel tells the story of the survivors’ progress on the new world Bronson Beta after the destruction of Earth by a rogue planet.
