Quote:Richard is the last man alive.
He has survived the super-flu known as Shaking Stevens when the rest of the world perished.
He has survived when his family has not.
He has survived with no survival instincts. He spends his days rummaging through the remnants of society as loneliness and anger set in.
That is, until, his wanderings lead him back to his place of work. It is familiar, it is comforting, it is routine.
Until, one day, his desk-phone rings.
*From the author of Among Other Things comes a tale of survival and hope in the most dire of times, and what a man must do to remain sane.
Includes two previously unpublished stories Keep off the Grass and* Coin Toss at Acheron Station
