Publisher’s Blurb – Lower Cover
In a bleak present-future Britain, mounting radiation levels have brought about widespread deformity and a catastrophic collapse of society. The crazed and cancered remnants of the population are bent upon stamping out abnormality with messianic zeal. But those few who look beyond their own, doomed struggle for survival know that only a mutant version of mankind can survive in this poisoned environment.

The new humanity must be preserved – whatever the cost.
