Book description
America and Russian both explode huge H-bombs simultaneously. The tests
go wrong, cracking the seabed, rupturing continents and engulfing
cities. The Thames flattens into a flood plain, London is drowned. Now
comes cosmic retribution - giant wasps, monstrous and deadly, directed
by a supernatural intelligence, invade a reeling world. In England,
isolated guerrillas fight on Keith Roberts (1935-2000) Keith Roberts
was an English author and illustrator, who did more than most to define
the look of UK Science fiction magazines in the sixties. He won four
BFSA awards for his writing and his art, and edited the magazine Science
Fantasy (later Impulse) for a time. He was also nominated for Hugo,
Nebula (twice) and Arthur C. Clarke awards. He is perhaps best known for
his seminal alternative history novel, Pavane, praised by George R. R.
Martin: 'No alternate history novel of the past thirty years comes close
to equalling Pavane'.
