Author: Pat Frank
$14.27

Starting about 48 hours before the Soviet Union and the United States launch massive nuclear strikes against one another, the novel follows residents of Fort Repose, Florida in their efforts to survive and rebuild their lives and communities.   The most basic amenities are a struggle, and life becomes both much more simple, and much, much harder.  Survival is an uphill battle as they struggle with limited medical care, limited food, and the ever-present fear of radioactive fallout. Suddenly everything is potentially lethal, and some rise to the challenge, others give up, and still, others revert to lawlessness. Still, there is hope, love, and birth.   Although written in the late 1950's, the concept is still very real and relevant.
