Reception
Dave Langford reviewed 'This Is the Way the World Ends' for 'White Dwarf' #88, and stated that "This is a harrowingly satirical book, whose main flaw lies in its treatment of the USSR. World War II, it turns out, started by accident: but only Americans are prosecuted by the unborn, the evil Russkies being prejudged as insane and unworthy of trial. This strikes me as an insecure foundation for a scathing attack on the arms race."
