THE FORGE OF GOD (1987) Greg Bear - TOR Science Fiction HC 1st Printing

Description: 5.5" x 8.5", 480 page hardcover with dustjacket titled THE FORGE OF GOD by Greg Bear/ TOR Books, ISBN # 0-312-93021-6, First Printing, September 1987/ On July 26, Arthur Gordon learns that Europa, the sixth moon of Jupiter, has disappeared. Not hiding, not turned black, but gone. On September 28th, Edward Shaw, a geologist working in Death Valley, finds a mysterious new cinder cone in very well-mapped area. As more unexplained phenomena spring up around the globe: a granite mountain appearing in Australia, sounds emanating from the Earth's core, flashes of light among the asteroids, it becomes clear to some that the end is approaching, and there is nothing that can be done. In The Forge of God, award-winning author Greg Bear describes the final days of the world on both a massive, scientific scale and in the everyday, emotional context of individual human lives. Facing the destruction of all they know, some people turn to God, others to their families, and a few turn to saviors promising escape from a planet tearing itself apart. Will they make it in time? And who gets left behind to experience the last moments of beauty and chaos on Earth? The book is complete and in FINE condition with some overall light wear mainly to the dustjacket which has some light wear along the top edge. This book has been in my collection since I bought it in 1987.
