Read about the other entries on the list.On The Beach, by Nevil Shute
Ain’t nobody handles the apocalyptic genre like an Australian, and Nevil Shute is no exception. This book takes place on the beach…where a bunch of survivors are quietly waiting to be killed by nuclear radiation. There isn’t enough sunscreen in the world to make this lighthearted reading.
On the Beach is among Ben H. Winters's three books to read before the end of the world, Sloane Crosley's five depressing beach reads, and Michael Evans's top six books on nuclear war.
