    The book is one of the few SF novels to break the barriers of SF readership and reach a huge an international audience. It won the International Fantasy Award and First Choice of the Science Fiction Book Club

Story: It tells of the death of civilisation and of the brave new race that emerges: stronger, self-reliant, primitive... . It is the story of Isherwood Williams and a small handful like him, who rise from the ashes of a destroyed world and begin again...

Extract: '...and the Government of the United States of America is herewith suspended...'
These were the words heard by a nation. But Isherwood Williams, alone in the mountains knew nothing of them. He came down from the peaks and forests and stopped at the first town. There was no-one there...
He drove on through the cities and villages of America, and he found that apart from the dogs and the rats, there was no one there. The continent had become one huge ghost town. The world had died, and man must begin again...
