Description:Returning to Washington from Persian Gulf carrier service in a world threatened by an asteroid, US Navy Captain Marcus Kelloway arrives with mixed personal feelings. Not only has he been relieved early from the prestige command of the USS Carl Vinsen by Hudd Warren, a man he’s detested since junior school, Kelloway finds himself appointed to the Materials Division of the Navy Department, a job with no hopes of further advancement.At the airport he meets his younger brother’s wife who carries an exuberant welcome into a long-lasting love affair in retaliation for her husband’s lust for the gorgeous soignée, Crystal Le Blanc, a rich Washington socialite. When he meets her himself, Kelloway falls helplessly under her spell and happily numbers himself amongst her many lovers.At the Navy Department, Kelloway seeks answers to America’s foreign base military needs. Instead of leasing bases, President Granby decides America should build huge mobile islands. On the project Kelloway meets Professor Compton Parkside, a brilliant scientist, but one with a sinister non-scientific agenda of his own.Despite objections, Granby backs Parkside’s assertion that he can steer the possibly fatal asteroid away from the earth by soft landing a rocket on its surface and sequence firing impulse motors.When the first two Floating Islands are launched, Kelloway is given command of one, but is disappointed to discover Hudd Warren, who has just stolen Crystal from him, is to command the second.Their first assignments are thrown into chaos, along with the world, when Parkside fails to divert the asteroid and it lands in the Andes setting off enormous techtoidal plate movements, fatal tidal waves and extensive volcanic activity all round the world. Not only did Parkside predict this, it was part of his eugenic aspirations. He, and his disciples, believe human civilisation has failed and should be replaced by something better.Caught at sea Kelloway can do nothing as the world suffers and vast numbers of people die from starvation and toxic gas poisoning. Kelloway and his battle fleet survive by moving to Antarctica and Warren, with Parkside, Bentley and Crystal on board shelters in the Arctic.After four years, Kelloway, now in command, sails his reduced fleet back to badly hit America and finds its administration has survived in underground bunkers. While his ships are overhauled, Kelloway learns that Granby intends to take advantage of the disrupted world situation by taking possession of countries unable to defend themselves. He too has an agenda Kelloway recognises as part of the Parkside grand plan for the world, and when he’s sent to China to find Warren and his fleet, he discovers Warren taking over the devastated country.Much as he objects to the land acquistion policy, Kelloway finds himself forced to launch a nuclear cruise missile attack on Chinese forces believed to be preparing to launch IBMs at America. His preventative action sets off the ultimate world nuclear disaster as China indiscriminately fires IBMs at America and Russia and both countries retaliate.Caught in the blast of an errant American IBM, Kelloway tries to sail his vessel from the scene leaving Warren, Crystal, Parkside, his brother and the newly appointed US Governor of China, dead. He also deserts his detached troops and air squadrons believing them lost.Trying to return to America to complete the work his murdered father started in trying to stop Granby, Kelloway finds his crew dying of radiation sickness. Delirious himself, the Shepherd runs aground in the South China Sea and cannot be refloated.Two thousand years later the broken wreckage of the Shepherd is discovered by flint wielding survivors as they spread from the northlands looking for room to expand and fresh supplies of food to eat.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
