The Chung-Li virus has devastated Asia, wiping out the rice crop and leaving riots and mass starvation in its wake. The rest of the world looks on with concern, though safe in the expectation that a counter-virus will be developed any day. Then Chung-Li mutates and spreads. No grass crop is safe, and global famine threatens. In Britain, green fields are fast turning brown, John Custance and his family decide they must abandon their London home to head for the sanctuary of his brother's farm, and so they begin the long trek across a country fast descending into barbarism.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
