Summary: A sci-fi classic must-read!
Review: I read "When Worlds Collide" and "After Worlds Collide" as a teen in the sixties. In a time of war and the Cuban missle crisis, these books gave me hope, and the fantasies tantalized the far reaches of my imagination. I dreamed of being on a far-off world and finding a domed city to explore. A fairy tale, perhaps....hey, it COULD happen! I couldn't find these in the local library, so I'm buying them to read with my sons, now in their early teens! Sweet dreams!

Summary: A Must Read if You Read the First!
Review: This is a must read if you have read When Worlds Collide. Not much in the way of science fiction. More along the lines of the fear of Communism that gripped the US post-WW II. In the book other countries had the same idea as the US about the impending disaster and were also able to launch rockets to the new world before the Earth is destroyed. The people from those rockets are not too "benevolent" and try to harness what they find left over from the earlier civilizations of the new planet to become masters of the planet.We find that even though the prior races have long since perished, most of the machinery left behind still works. If you bear in mind the period that the book was written you should find it a very entertaining read.

Summary: "When" - Good, but "After" is sooooo much more of a story!!
Review: Yes, I saw the movie and that inspired me to buy this beat up paperback called "After World's Collide". That was when I was 15 years old and 20 years later this book still haunts me. You had the "Cole Henderon" survivors that made it to Bronson Beta and how they were managing to survive, when the plot thickens with the battle of the different surviving camps for power. And then there is the mystery of uncovering the life of Bronson Beta's former inhabitants - What happened to them - where are they? And of course the Love story continues. - - - This book is tightly written and I really recommend it - if you can get a hold of a copy
