Synopsis

Following the execution of Bin Laden, Al-Qaeda vengefully activates a sleeper cell of suicide bombers, two of which detonate a nuclear bomb in the heart of London. In panic, people are forced to take shelter from the insidious radiation dust, while waiting to be rescued. Soon, the numbers of dead and those mortally ill grow and grow. Dirty Bombs is a fascinating imagining of how a nuclear attack would bring Britain to its knees, in a society more divided than it was at the time of Hitler's Blitz Krieg. Those with a penchant for the apocalyptic will be easily enticed by Dirty Bombs.
