The Tide Went Out, Paperback / softback Book

The Tide Went Out Paperback / softback

Part of the British Library Science Fiction Classics series

Paperback / softback

Description

When London journalist Philip Wade learns that his article on nuclear weapons testing has been censored by the British government, he is prompted to investigate the truth that lies behind it.

Philip's search leads to a mysterious job offer in a newly-formed government department, and he soon realises the lasting damage that the nuclear tests have caused.

The country is rife with uncertainty and distrust - then the water levels start to drop. This gripping apocalyptic novel, originally published in 1958, asks pertinent questions about censorship and the potential for violence in the face of disappearing resources.

The Tide Went Out outlines the horrors that arise when we are forced to ask the question: `what happens when the water runs out?'
