„Lõhenenud inimkond“ on maailmakuulsa „Vanamehe sõja“ sarja viies raamat. Varasemad neli raamatut on nii või teisiti John Perry lood, siin aga tegutseb peamiselt ta sõber Harry Wilson, kes oma sarkasmi ja nutikusega Johnile sugugi alla ei jää. Inimkond on lõhenemise äärel ja tegutseb salapärane vaenlane, kes püüab iga hinna eest seda lõhet süvendada.

See on autorile ülemaailmse kuulsuse toonud Vanamehe sõja sarja neljas raamat, milles on romaani „Viimane koloonia“ sündmused peategelase John Perry teismelise kasutütre vaatenurgast. Selgub, et Zoё on näinud väga palju asju, mida John Perry ise ei näinud, ei teadnud, ja millest kunagi teadagi ei saanud. Et päästa koloonia ja sõbrad, peab Zoё sekkuma planeetidevahelisse võimumängu ja vastu võtma väga raskeid otsuseid.
