Synopsis
|
George
Paxton was an
ordinary man,
living an ordinary
life. Until
something extraordinary
happened.
Something that the
United States and
the Soviet Union
had been spending
a large amount of
diligence and
money to bring
about. Some
called it a
nuclear
holocaust.
Others said it was
the end of the
world. Now,
George Paxton is
about to discover
what happens after
the end of the
world ... |

Review
|
"The
only book in the
last ten years
that I've read
twice ... A
remarkable
achievement."
Arthur C Clarke
"If there
actually is a
nuclear war and
someone survives
to read the
preholocaust
literature, This
is the Way the
World Ends will be
one of the very
few books, by
virtue of its
black absurdities
and sadness, which
will provide any
real comfort and
understanding."
