About this audiobook
Prophesying the age of total war, this narrative follows the sudden collapse of global civilization through the destructive power of the airplane. As cities are reduced to rubble from above, the story tracks the chaos of a society that was technologically advanced but morally unprepared for the consequences of flight. It remains a hauntingly accurate depiction of the vulnerability of modern urban life.
