Rogue Planets & Amber/Red Zone Systems

[Epee]

I have the book, and if I remember correctly, it's just a pair of rogue planets in that case. One of them lasts just long enough to cue-ball Earth into oblivion; the other one settles into a decent orbit afterward. There's also a dead civilization on that world -- hinted in the book, detailed further in the sequel (or so I'm told).

The book is from 1933, by the way. And it was based on a collection of short stories written in '32-33.

I'm basing my comment on the movie. I read the sequel, but not the original. It's been many years and it seemed the author may have been trying to spawn a series of books. In any case they do find the remains of a lost civilization and discover that they are not the only refugees from the doomed Earth...
