This FAQ is designed to help new readers understand the type of science fiction Worlds Apart belongs to, while giving deeper insight into the novel’s world, themes, and narrative structure.
Worlds Apart blends multiple sci-fi sub-genres:
multiverse fiction
psychological science fiction
lunar colony sci-fi
dystopian institutional control
conspiracy-driven sci-fi
dual-narrative thrillers
It’s ideal for readers who enjoy layered realities and interconnected story lines.
Yes. Worlds Apart connects directly to it’s sequel, Worlds Apart – Sylvie, while expanding the world into multiverse level stakes.
No.
Worlds Apart can be read as a standalone and still make complete sense.
Absolutely.
If you like:
split realities
multiple timelines converging
characters navigating fractured versions of their world
or stories where perception and truth conflict
Then Worlds Apart is a strong fit.
Yes.
A major portion of the story takes place in the Moon colonies, a gritty and corrupt off world environment that mirrors and magnifies the social decay on Earth.
Some of the central themes include:
truth vs. perception
institutional corruption
missing loved ones
psychological survival
multiverse instability
fractured identities
These themes collide to create a layered, emotionally charged sci-fi narrative.
Not in a traditional sense.
The emotional cores revolve around loss, commitment, and desperation, not romantic subplots.
The relationships serve the world, not the other way around.
It balances both:
Marsh’s story provides action, investigation, and pursuit
Peter’s story provides psychological pressure and internal conflict
The blend creates a thriller style pace with emotional depth.
It deals with heavy topics of control, corruption, manipulation, and loss, but the story ultimately centers on persistence, loyalty, and refusing to abandon truth in a fractured world.
