The Death of Grass - John Christopher - 2011 By: John Christopher Narrated by: William Gaminara Length: 6 hrs and 40 mins Unabridged Audiobook Release date: 03-25-11 Categories: Science Fiction & Fantasy, Post-apocalyptic Language: English Publisher: Audible Studios Format: mp3 64/48 stereo Publisher's Summary: A viral strain has attacked rice crops in East Asia, causing massive famine; soon a mutation appears that infects the staple crops of West Asia and Europe, such as wheat and barley, threatening a famine engulfing the whole of the Old World, while Australasia and the Americas attempt to impose rigorous quarantine to exclude the virus. Christopher's classic post-apocalyptic novel follows the struggles of architect John Custance and his family as they make their way across an England that is rapidly descending into anarchy, hoping to reach the safety of John's brother's farm in an isolated Westmorland valley. Along the way, they find they must sacrifice many of their morals in order to stay alive. Here is an unusual and absorbing piece of science-fiction about the relentless transformation of civilisation when the balance of nature is upset. ©1956 Samuel Youd (P)2011 Audible Ltd 24/7 Seedbox Support
