Interesting Cold War apocalypse novel. What made the book stand out to me, in addition to its premise, was its depiction of the main character. He's unlikable from the start, and remains that way, but I still found myself rooting for him and respecting him as a survivor. His personal journey is fascinating and kept me turning the pages. It's a well-written novel also, with fine atmosphere.
