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.

I remember reading this when Paperback Library brought it out in the 1960s with a suitably ominous cover. I was fascinated by it. I recall I bought a battered hardcover of the sequel from SF bookseller Graham Stone.
It will be interesting to see what I think of it all these decades later ...
One of my favorite SF stories. Thank you, Rosanna.
Thank you - this is one of my favourite books. Do you know if there is an audio version of After Worlds Collide? I have the book (quite hard to find).
Thanks for sharing.
You're both welcome!
Thank you Rosanna!
