When Worlds Collide by Edwin Balmer & Philip Wylie (Sci-Fi Reprint, 1933)

"A runaway planet hurtles toward the earth. As it draws near, massive tidal waves, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions wrack our planet, devastating continents, drowning cities, and wiping out millions. In central North America, a team of scientists race to build a spacecraft powerful enough to escape the doomed earth. Their greatest threat, they soon discover, comes not from the skies but from other humans. A crackling plot and sizzling, cataclysmic vision have made When Worlds Collide one of the most popular and influential end-of-the-world novels of all time. This book is the first in a two-book series. Triangle Books reprint. Beautiful vintage cover! Dust jacket is in fair condition. The book underneath is also rather fair. Pages starting to discolor. This book was made into a movie in 1951 which helped spark the sci-fi boom in that decade. #scifi #book #vtgbook
