With the world order destroyed by an asteroid, US Captain Marcus Kelloway finds himself opposing his acquisitive President's policy of taking over countries unable to defend themselves.Ordered to assist in the take-over of China he opposes the operation and begins a nuclear exchange that finally destrtoys himself and the remnants of the world's civilisation.

The main story tells of the unlikely friendship between three very distinct people brought about by necessity and circumstance. Peter and his friends begin their wanderings, deciding on their routes and wandering as the mood takes them. The result is a unique meditation on life, love, friendship and time, set against the urban landscape of London, the city they know and love. However this is no ordinary story of a young graduate facing anxiety and apathy towards the future. When he was twelve, Peter learned he has an illness which means he will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. The story thus encompasses Peter's reveries on loss, romantic dreams and sharp observations of the contrasts between his life and others', narrated in a voice which is speculative, romantic and intermittently witty, as life, landscape and identity become inextricably linked.
