Marianne O’Hara has never set foot on Earth. Born and raised in New New York, the largest of forty-one orbiting Worlds, she’s only known life above a planet slowly unraveling.
Now, she’s heading planetside to study political science—just as Earth teeters on the edge of collapse.
What she finds is chaos: wealth hoarded by the few, unrest boiling in the streets, and ideologies that tempt even the most rational minds. When a radical movement pulls her in, Marianne thinks she’s making a difference.
She’s wrong.
Caught in a sprawling conspiracy with stakes far beyond Earth’s surface, Marianne must choose what she believes in—and what she’s willing to sacrifice.
From Hugo and Nebula Award winner Joe Haldeman, Worlds is a visionary sci-fi epic of rebellion, consequence, and the gravity of ideals.
