Informed annihilation the novel

On the evening Kyle Langford plans to propose to Sofia, a battered black briefcase arrives with a warning no government wants the public to hear. Britain is preparing for nuclear war—and the machinery meant to preserve the nation may already be helping to destroy it. As officials suppress the threat and military commanders act on fear, Kyle and his friends are pulled from an ordinary anniversary into a race across a country running out of time. Their journey leads to Crown Shelter Seven, where a sealed blast door forces an unbearable choice between those already inside and the crowd pleading to be saved. Informed Annihilation is a near-future political and apocalyptic thriller about secrecy, loyalty and the human cost of survival. Expanded from John Clements's original university screenplay, this novel follows the warning, the launch and the long aftermath—asking not only who survives catastrophe, but what the survivors owe to the dead.
