A Classic Novel of Nuclear Apocalypse,
By LioNiNoiL (fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Central passage (Hardcover)
Lawrence Schoonover's novel explores the idea of nuclear war and its aftermath in three parts, the first of which he briefly summarizes:"The history of The Twenty Minute War may be likened to a duel between two men who meet on a field and kill each other with a single shot from each pistol." The second part, The Big Ice, anticipates the idea of nuclear winter with a novel twist; and the third part, The Intruders, looks at the effect of mutation on a surviving population. The liner notes call this book "an extraordinary narrative in the tradition of Nevil Shute's On_the_Beach... yet this is not so much a novel of the horrors of atomic war as it is a novel of survival". To this I would add stylistic comparisons with the works of Aldous Huxley [Brave_New_World], Poul Anderson [The_Day_After_Doomsday], and Mary Shelley [Frankenstein].
