With the popularity of the 1976 film, William F. Nolan was able to get this follow-up to his and Johnson's novel published in 1977. This time, Nolan is the sole author, though he thanks Johnson for his contributions to the world of Logan.

Logan and Jessica and now a son Jaq lived on the space station Argos for four years. All was well on this sanctuary.

Meanwhile, back on Earth, Ballard's escape line at Cape Steinbeck was discovered and destroyed by the DS. Ballard escaped to Crazy Horse Mountain, and sabotaged the Thinker complex buried in the catacombs below the statue.

Ballard was killed in the explosion he set to destroy the computer network, but the world was free!

The Thinker's rule was broken.

But there were no supply ships to Argos. For six more years the runners there hung on, until there were less than a few dozen of them. They had no more food, plague was running rampant. They drew straws--a handful would return to Earth. Logan, Jessica and Jaq were among them.

As the story opens, Logan and family live in a group called the Wilderness People along the Potomac River in Washington D. C. Life is tough, learning to farm is not as easy as one would think, but life is good.

Logan sneaks back into the Angeles Complex to get medicine for his son Jaq, who is deathly ill.

While he is gone, insane Borgia gypsys on devilsticks happen by his house....

Logan is on the run again.

A run for revenge, a run to resuce his beloved Jessica.

As the story unfolds, he meets blind mystics who live on the rusted shell of the San Francisco Bridge, he travels to the New York Complex, and finally back to Crazy Horse Mountain where we discover the Thinker is being reactivated by Gant, a former DS man, one who hates Logan with all his being.

A young woman who remembers the kindness Logan and Jessica showed to her ten years earlier when they ran comes out of the shadowy caverns to help them defeat Gant's plan to reenslave mankind.

A short novel, like the first, probably about 50,000 words. Crisp action, written in Nolan's clipped style. I enjoyed this follow-up.

I always thought that "Logan's World" was an excellent sequel and would have made a great follow-up movie.

Like the first book, it had great characters and non-stop action! Heck, it would've even made for a couple of terrific episodes on the short-lived TV Series, had it endured.

I would of loved to of seen "Logans World" turned into a movie. Would of made a great sequel to the first,even though we know things would of been changed considerably in the film to make it link to the movie.

I would have loved to see how MGM would have adapted it. As many changes were made to Logan's Run, I was very curious what would have been done to Logan's World.

We all know why this didn't happen ... MGM decided to do the CBS tv series instead, which died a quick death. :(
