WHITE AUGUST - A DYSTOPIAN NOVEL

It was mid-summer. Then suddenly it began to snow. Another joke on the British weather? But the snow kept on falling and greenish light pervaded all. What started off as a joke and a bother turned into national calamity as the snow kept on falling until normal life was completely stopped. Then it was discovered that the snow was radioactive...   John Boland (12 February 1913 – 9 November 1976), a British novelist and science fiction author, first published this classic of dystopian science fiction literature in 1955. Apex is publishing a revised edition of the novel.
