Suffers from that particularly male premillenial obsession with sex, and also the dated nature of nuclear apocalypse worries. How many conversations do I need a book’s protagonist to have with his cum? Precisely zero. ( ) Probably one of the more interesting nuclear holocaust books you'll ever read, James Morrow takes on the concept that post-apocalypse stories are always told from the survivor's point of you and introduces a nuclear wasteland in which the last surviving human is forced to stand trial by the souls of all those lives ended and prevented by nuclear annihilation. Morrow has a talent for bringing philosophical and theological into a very physical world for contemplation and review, and this book is no exception. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

When tombstone engraver George Paxman is offered a bargain, he doesn't hesitate. His beloved daughter gets an otherwise unaffordable survival suit to protect her from radioactive fall-out and all George has to do is sign a document admitting that, as a passive citizen who did nothing to stop it, he has a degree of guilt for any nuclear war that breaks out. George signs on the dotted line. And then the unthinkable happens. The world and everyone in it (survival suit or not) is destroyed in a nuclear Armageddon - except for George and five others who must now face prosecution from the great mass of humanity who will now never be born. And George Paxman stands accused in the name of all the people who stood by and never raised a finger to stop the horror of nuclear war ... No library descriptions found. |
