This true modern masterpiece is built around the two fateful words that
make up the title and herald the end--"Alas, Babylon." When a nuclear
holocaust ravages the United States, a thousand years of civilization
are stripped away overnight, and tens of millions of people are killed
instantly.
But for one small town in Florida, miraculously spared, the struggle is
just beginning, as men and women of all backgrounds join together to
confront the darkness. Will Patton's narration paints this classic tale
as an ominous picture of the terrible possibilities of the nuclear age.
