Worlds Apart: Worlds Book 2

Good, solid Haldeman; well worth reading. Get the whole trilogy if you are a fan.

Good

This is a good sequel to 'Worlds:A Novel of the Near Future'. It develops ideas and plot lines from the first novel and introduces some new ideas as well. It is well written and difficult to put down once started.As in the first novel in the series, it is only let down by the poor quality of the text and the seeming absence of any proof reading in the Kindle edition. This isn't as bad as in the first novel, but the errors are frequent enough and obvious enough to be irritating.The four star rating is for the novel not for the Kindle setting.

It is not the book if you are looking for a lot of excitement but I enjoyed it for some reason.

I thoroughly enjoyed this near space adventure. Only rarely did I find a annoying incongruence or wrong word usage. eg: University used where universe made much more sense.

The interaction of the characters was quite believable. I think the science might have been stretched. The orbiting worlds needed steady imports from Earth and then suddenly they don't and they can build a starship besides. The bringing in the asteroid for resupply was good, but I don't think it really covered the needs. Fortunately, it did not seriously detract from the story. It reads as a wonderful adventure and saga of humans moving into the universe.

disappointing final novel in the worlds series. Had not heard of it before browsing around amazon. found it, got it from a used book sale fro ma library in england someplace. Still arrived in two weeks.

Creative approach a to end of civilization and the start of two new phases in different places…greatly entertaining and fast paced. Recommend for a good couple of afternoons reading sessions
