Publisher Description
Australia is one of the last places where life still exists after nuclear war starts in the Northern Hemisphere. A year on, an invisible cloak of radiation has spread almost completely around the world.
Darwin is a ghost town, and radiation levels at Ayres Rock are increasing. An American nuclear-powered submarine has found its way to Australia, where its captain has placed the boat under the command of the Australian Navy. Commander Dwight Towers and his Australian liaison officer are sent to the coast of North America to discover whether a stray radio signal originating from near Seattle is a sign of life.

Haunting
I’m an 19 year old man of a strong emotional state. Yet, by the last chapter this story had me ugly crying in my car. It touched upon my love of family, and how one says goodbye to the world we love. Definitely one of the most important and beautiful stories I’ve ever read.
