This is the third of the trilogy which began with Plague 99 and After the Plague and it provides a powerful conclusion to the series. Hal is sent away from his community to avoid castration - considered to be the answer to male violence. He joins a community which watches at a sacred shrine. To his horror, he realises that the 'shrine' is the remains of a nuclear power plant and contact with it is mutating the very people who worship it. The novel's resolution is quietly stunning: it's time GCSE boards added this trilogy to their recommended reading.
