Plot summary

After the super-powers accidentally set off nuclear bombs simultaneously, the staff at Fleet Street's Daily Express report dramatic changes to the world's climate. As London swelters and the Thames starts to run dry, the paper's staff finally gets the Government to admit that the Earth's axis has shifted. Eventually they discover that the full truth is far worse even than this.—Jeremy Perkins {J-26}
