A devastating epidemic has erupted in China and quickly spread to Japan, causing global governments to turn a blind eye until the Hueste virus threatens to engulf the entire world. The pandemic draws closer to Britain, with shelters being hastily constructed across the country, but at what cost? As the death toll rises and the people are ruthlessly sacrificed for the benefit of the elite, the call for revolution echoes through the streets amidst the sirens. Maine's harrowing portrayal of society on the brink of collapse serves as a foreboding precursor to the more pessimistic science fiction of the 1960s. This subversive novel starkly reveals that even the heroes may succumb to brutality as the world descends into a desperate scramble for the last remnants of humanity's essence: survival.
