Worlds Apart

Book excerpt: "Rog Foley had never seen Earth--and he never would. For all that was left of Earth was an atomic funeral pyre in the sky. Rog Foley was a leader of the new generation of humans who were born and raised an Mundis, the distant planet circling Brinsen's Star and to which the last survivors of Earth had escaped in a 17-year journey through space. Rog Foley and his disciples were strongly opposed to the way things were being run on Mundis by their elders. There were too many DOs and too many DONT'Ts. Finally, in desperation, Rog established a separate colony--and it seemed as though the conflicts which had brought Earth to its doom were destined to haunt mankind even in this remote solar system. But then a new danger appeared--invasion by a band of interplanetary despots who wanted to make Mundis their first conquest on the path to Galactic Empire. Faced by this common peril, the Mundians were forced to unite in a desperate, last-ditch struggle to save humanity."--Back cover.
