Publisher's Synopsis
When a young man washes up, naked, on the sands of St Piran in Cornwall, he is rescued by the villagers who take this lost soul into their midst. But what they don't know is that Joe Haak has fled the City of London fearing a worldwide collapse of civilisation, a collapse forecast by Cassie, a computer program he designed. But is the end of the world really nigh? Can Joe convince the village to seal itself off from the outside world? And what of the whale that lurks in the bay?
