Stewart is best known among Science Fiction readers for EARTH ABIDES (1949), which tells of the struggle to survive and rebuild after a virus plague has wiped out most of humanity; one of the finest of all disaster novels in SF, it is generally acknowledged to be a classic of the genre.

I hadn't seen this cover before, either. Earth Abides is the greatest end of the wold novel ever written...
