| Review Summary |
In the final volume of Joe Haldeman's Worlds trilogy the starship Newhome leaves a decimated Earth (and it's orbital Worlds) for the distant planet in the Epsilon star system in hopes of finding En route the ship is crippled by several mechanical and social catastrophes: the loss of their communications with Earth, the baffling church of the Eternal Now, and plague. And even if they make it to Epsilon, their only hope is a planet that they know nothing about.
