Title: True End of the World!
Review: Countless books have been written about the end of the world, it's not a new concept. Back in the 1930's it was. What War of the Worlds did for the alien invasion concept, When Worlds Collide does for end of the world stories. Truely brillent novel! Too be sure there are some outdated ideas as one would expect for a novel written 80 years ago, but considering the scienctific understanding and what was the social nornal at the time it's very believable. The desription of space ship construction is almost NASA-like. Interesting Biblical references without being preachy which is not the norm today as well. There are few novels where the end of the world really means the end of the world like When Worlds Collide. Apocalyptic desrciptions of destruction in heart renching detail that have a very modern fell to it. Must read for serious science fiction fans...just remember, "no more lions."
