The story

What Is World Without End About?

The premise of World Without End without spoilers.

Four astronauts returning from humanity’s first Mars mission are flung 552 years into the future by a time warp, crash‑landing on a 26th‑century Earth scarred by atomic war. The atmosphere is breathable, but the planet is split: disfigured mutants roam the surface like cavemen, while the surviving “normals” live in underground habitats, slowly dying from a shortage of water, air and sunlight.
