Summary
In a deserted newsroom Peter Stenning writes the biggest news story the world has ever known: 'Within the next few hours the world will know whether this is the end or another beginning'. The combined jolt of nuclear test explosions carried out by the Americans and the Russians has shifted the Earth's orbit and it is now racing towards the sun. Chaos mounts. But four super bombs exploded simultaneously might halt the catastrophic progress. Will the world be doomed or saved?
