When World's Collide was first published in the 1930s and is deals with what happens when the earth is plunged into chaos as it deals with approaching doom. The style is typical of the era, pedantic but enjoyable. Men are men. Women are women and all is well in the end.

Holds up well
Considering how long ago this novel was written, and some embarassing racial references, (though common to the era) this book is still very entertaining. The depiction of catastrophe on a worldwide scale is well done and still frightening in the contemplation of it. The setup for the sequel was titillating and left you wanting to find out more about the planets previous inhabitants. (The sequel being: "After Worlds Collide") The potential for a wonderful remake of the motion picture using today's marvelous special effects is enormous. (And rumor has it that Steven Spielberg recently bought the rights!) I just hope that they consider doing the sequel as well. What an opportunity for an extended miniseries on television! I would recommend this book as an exciting fast read that somehow (at least in my case) leaves a lasting impression and apprehension that is hard to shake. Go for it!
