About This Book

Lunar observations uncover a catastrophic cosmic phenomenon tied to an ancient apocalyptic legend, plunging the Solar System into a war that reaches across planets and dimensions. Deadly radiation and sudden offensives force scientists and refugees to flee Earth, undertake hazardous voyages to Venus and other worlds, and engage in raids, betrayals, and daring escapes. Episodes alternate between reconnaissance, technological improvisation, imprisonment, and pitched battles, while unexpected allies and sacrificial strategies are marshaled to thwart annihilation. The narrative moves episodically from first discovery through mounting conflict to a tense final resolution that balances loss, resourcefulness, and the hope of survival.

THAT WORLDS MAY LIVE

By NELSON S. BOND

Not only the Solar System was involved in this
