Publisher's Synopsis
On the 26th of September, 1983, Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov correctly judged six reports of missile launches to be false alarms, due to a malfunction in the Russian nuclear early warning system. His decision saved the lives of billions. What if he followed protocol, firing the Russian nuclear arsenal at several key targets around the world, in response to a false flag? Ten Seconds To Midnight explores this idea, following an elderly couple and their son residing in the fictitious rural town of Oymor Bay, England. Their lives are about to change irrevocably. How will they cope with the knowledge that everyone they have ever known or loved is dead? You'll soon find out. A slow starter, which quickly reaches its crescendo. You will not want to put it down. Follow Stephen and Eva, as well as their son Mark, in their lives post-apocalypse, grappling with survivor's guilt and their own relationships with one another; can they live through the end of their normal lives?
