Always happy with the Nile's service. Whilst dispatch can take longer than others, books are sourced at a great price from locations worldwide and from prior experience I know to order in advance. I ordered three expensive textbooks for uni, two weeks later they were dispatched and the next day received - all earlier than expected timeframe. Packaged very well, books intact. Great seller, updated tracking and items as described. A+++

    A powerful post-apocalyptic tale!

    “Alas Babylon” is a gripping story of survival of war in the nuclear age. The story focuses on a small group of people in Florida that face the challenges of how to survive after a nuclear holocaust. While the story centers on the group’s ability to adapt and overcome the challenges of living in this new and very different world, it also tells about the survival of humanity, community, charity and most of all, hope. The story also serves as a warning of how situations can escalate catastrophically during times of great international tension! Any small misstep can result in irreversible consequences. As this story takes place in 1959-1960 time period it would helpful if the reader has knowledge of that time period. “Alas Babylon” by Pat Frank is a great read and I highly recommend it.

  • 1959 take on nuclear holocaust

    Read this book many years ago. Was worth reading again. Interesting take on nuclear holocaust written in 1959.

  • Reality 20 years ago-still applicable

    This book may have been written in the late 50s, but about every aspect of the world and how people need to cope are drawn into sharp view by rhe author. A great book.

  • Very readable intro to the mindset of being prepared for any disaster.

    This was the first "preparedness" novel I ever read, and being written in the late 50's, it reflects the political and economic and military thought of its day. While the author and/or his hero make some mistakes, it put my mind to thinking about being prepared, and remains one of my favorite books for helping people prepare for whatever worst-case-disaster they may some day face. Well worth the read, and young readers will enjoy it as well.

  • "Alas, Babylon"

    Although written in the 50s, this timeless post-apocalyptic classic is still spell binding. I'm glad to have a new copy of this much read book with larger print this time around.
