  1. 1. The Hopkins Manuscript

    A wry, elegiac first-person account in which an ordinary Englishman records the social and moral collapse that follows a sudden celestial catastrophe that devastates Britain; as food, law and order break down and communities scramble to survive, he observes panic, opportunism, stoicism and small acts of heroism, reflecting on class, leadership and the fragile conventions that sustain civilization while tracing the slow, ambiguous process of rebuilding.
