Overview

Penguin Worlds introduces a science fiction classic about a group of strangers stranded at the end of the universe... An explosion in space, a starship stranded, a group of strangers alone at the barren edge of the universe. Facing almost-certain death, the human survivors of a deep-space crash are determined to ignore the odds and colonize an inhospitable planet, recreating a civilization like the one they have lost forever. Only one woman rejects this path, choosing instead a daring and desperate alternative- to practice the art of dying. But her fellow passengers require her reproductive skills for their survival plan, and they are prepared to impose their regime by force if necessary... We Who Are About To offers an electrifying and deeply challenging exploration of individual freedom, collective tyranny, and our most primitive will to live.
