Theodore Savage is an ordinary product of public school, Oxford and the Civil Service until a new kind of war, waged with science against cities and crops, destroys the civilization around him. Fleeing into the countryside with starving refugees, he becomes a labourer among people who live brutishly, and the book follows what is lost and remembered over a lifetime.
