THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS. New York: Henry Holt and Company, [1986]. Octavo, cloth-backed boards. First edition. Presentation copy with nice signed inscription by Morrow to "David" on title page. "... soon after the book begins, the nuclear Holocaust of World War Three kills all but a few, who are then transported via submarine to Antarctica, where they are put on trial by the "unadmitted" -- those souls who will now never be born. As an idea it is perhaps more effective in paraphrase than within the constraints of a fictional narrative, though the decency of the book clearly transcends the inevitable disembodiedness of its message." - GS/JC, SFE (online). 1986 Nebula nominee. Runner-up for the 1987 John W. Campbell Award. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-789. Broderick and Di Filippo, Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels, 1985-2010 #5. A fine copy in fine dust jacket.
