Book Synopsis

After a nuclear World War III has destroyed most of the globe, the few remaining survivors in southern Australia await the radioactive cloud that is heading their way and bringing certain death to everyone in its path. Among them is an American submarine captain struggling to resist the knowledge that his wife and children in the United States must be dead. Then a faint Morse code signal is picked up, transmitting from somewhere near Seattle, and Captain Towers must lead his submarine crew on a bleak tour of the ruined world in a desperate search for signs of life. On the Beach is a remarkably convincing portrait of how ordinary people might face the most unimaginable nightmare.

    This was an excellent novel. I couldn’t put it down. The setting for the future holocaust was intelligently presented. The characters were vibrant 3D people. My favorites were the Homes, John, Moira, and Dwight. I cried my eyes out because it was so final. But it was so great.

    This book. This book was a bit confusing at the start, but as soon as you understood what was happening it was masterfully wrote. The book is very sad at the end and was very good.
