Worlds (novel)
Worlds is a novel written by Joe Haldeman and published in 1981. Plot summary. "Worlds" is a novel in which Marianne O'Hara takes educational trip from orbital New New York to old Earth, and an international terrorist conspiracy nearly kills everyone. Reception. Colin Greenland reviewed "Worlds" for "Imagine" magazine, and stated that "It feels perverse to say that a series about the near extinction of the human race seems uneventful, but somehow it does. The futuristic detail is fascinating, but Haldeman relates it in a casual, rambling way that dilutes much of its drama."
