KILLER BUG ESCAPES LAB Authorities in the US have confirmed that the deadly virus now sweeping through California escaped from a laboratory. LOCKED IN WITH THE PLAGUE Five brave doctors, sixteen courageous nurses, ten plucky health workers are sacrificing their lives at the Princess Diana Hospital, Leeds, for us. By the time you read this, they may already have been taken by the Superflu plague sweeping through our country. TWO MILLENNIA - AND NOW IT'S THE END We knew it would happen. Great Britain's population has dwindled to a few million, as has almost every other country's. We knew there was no health service there and that all telecommunications, food supplies, the currency and the transport system had broken down. But we clung to hopes - hopes that one day the Old Country would rise again. That prospect now looks very remote indeed. The evacuation of London's remaining population was permitted to allow the dwindling numbers of immune survivors of the Second Pandemic to escape. The King and Prince George have been moved to safety in a biohazard refuge in Oxford... The Third Pandemic Threat... End of the global Internet... Return to barter economy... This is Britain sixty years from now - a land slowly recovering, like the rest of the world, from three devastating epidemics. It's an island of only a few million people. It faces the prospect of a slide back into a new medieval age: a land of dense forests, superstition and darkness - a land of ravens. Lara Johnson is the youngest-ever high court judge to be appointed in the city of New Warwick. In the company of a young woman reporter, Star Edkin, Lara decides to set off on a final quest to find her missing husband. They travel through a country on the brink of rebellion and fraught with the dangers of a nuclear disaster. "A genuinely unsettling dystopian novel...prescient to the degree that today's newspaper headlines accurately mirror the plot...an ambitious and addictive novel" SUE SAVITT, Faber & Faber
