ABOUT THE BOOK

A deluxe expanded edition of the original Award-winning collection, set on a strikingly transformed Earth three hundred years from now, a world remade by the all-powerful alien Nobodoi and their terrifying Bridge Races. Introduced by Harlan Ellison.

EARTH––AFTER WORMWOOD

Centuries from now, a world invaded by the all-powerful Nobodoi and their servant Races, re-made as a strange and mighty Patchwork of land-bridges, alien enclaves and deadly domains, where the remnants of a blasted Humanity are lucky just to survive.

THE HUMAN HEROES

Meet Aspen Dirk, Jamis Talby, Hollis Green, the mad poet Antelim––the ones who travel the Patchwork and encounter the Hoproi warmasters, the living spaceships, the Qualagi mothersires who wear the corpses of their slaughtered young. Join the brave Humans who dare face the Darzie mind-riders, the gleaming Matta whose houses kill, the fearsome Amazi whose greatest longing is to couple with Human females. All part of what the world has become––after Wormwood.
