Description

Les bombes étaient finalement tombées. Malgré l'équilibre de la terreur, un jour un homme avait été assez fou pour appuyer sur le bouton. Cependant, dans ce coin perdu de Californie, la vie continuait: pour Bonny Keller que six ans d'analyse n'avait pas réussi à rééquilibrer; pour Bruno Bluthgeld, l'un des responsables de la grande Catastrophe ; pour Hoppy, le phocomèle, l'ancien bébé thalidomide... doté de pouvoirs supranormaux. Elle continuait pour Walt Dangerfield, l'astronaute expédié vers Mars, mais dont la cabine s'était satellisée autour de la Terre. Là, à l'abri des radiations, il s'était transformé en une sorte de superdisc-jockey dont l'écoute était devenue une drogue pour tous les survivants. Mais peut-on réellement survivre dans un monde radioactif.
