BOOK DESCRIPTION
The story is about Philip who is tricked into believing that a
nuclear war has broken out to make him go into a bomb shelter. When
he comes out he finds his family have all been murdered. He meets
the circus strongwoman Cathy Smallwood who teaches him the
principles of contemplative action. She helps him take refuge with
the circus but the assistant manageress Ingrid Dubois, who seems
unable to remember her nationality, warns them that Philip must
leave or he will be killed...
SYNOPSIS
In a world disintegrating from
absent-mindedness, the hero is imprisoned by the army for reasons
he does not understand. Falling in with an Amazonian circus
strongwoman in similar straits, he makes his escape and the pair
embark upon hilarious adventures to discover the cause of their
imprisonment. Against the background of an occult war between a
matriarchal spiritual order and an international society plotting
to reduce the human race to the animal level, and aided by a secret
agent who isn't certain of her own nationality, Philip and Cathy
overcome revolution, obfuscation and apathy to emerge
triumphant.
