George Stewart's Earth Abides

Is there a sequel to this book? My wife swears she saw one in a book store. If there is a sequel, does nayone know what it's called and/or who wrote it?

I've never heard of a sequel. Loved the book though.

Google was no help, but usenet was. I posted something to rec.arts.sf.written, and people replied that hwile there was no sequel, publishers just love to slap phrases like "The successor to Earth Abides" on their post-apocolyptic books. So that's probably what my wife saw.

Earth Abides was really cool.
Spoiler:
But since the main character dies at the end
, any sequel would have really been a totally new book about a post apocolyptic world.
