Book description
The long-dreaded nuclear conflict. The city torn apart, shattered, its
people destroyed or mutilated beyond hope. For just a few, survival is
possible only beneath the wrecked streets - if there is time to avoid
the slow-descending poisonous ashes. But below, the rats, demonic
offspring of their irradiated forebears, are waiting. They know that Man
is weakened, become frail. Has become their prey.... Remember with fear
