World Out of Mind — J.T. McIntosh

The earth is doomed!

Only ten people out of every 3,000 will escape aboard space ships to begin a new colony on Mars. For the rest of humanity . . . inevitable destruction.

Bill Easson is a conscientious, straightforward guy. But as pilot of one of the ships, he holds the power of life and death in his hands. As the time grows nearer, violent mobs swarm through the streets, and the ten names on Bill's list change and change again.

The authorities only give Bill a 60 percent chance of survival. He knows in his bones he's got to lengthen the odds.

Or die trying.
