'Washington destroyed completely before the government could escape. With Manhattan in ruins, that leaves no -'. There was a click as the television receiver was turned off. 'That's that,' said the man near it, 'The United States is washed up.'

In a brilliantly imaginative novel guaranteed to keep the reader on tenterhooks from beginning to end, Robert A. Heinlein, the doyen of science fiction writers, has truly excelled himself.
