5.0 out of 5 stars This is the way it ends: not with a bang, but with a whimper., 7 April 2009
This review is from: Twilight of Briareus (Pan science fiction) (Paperback)
In the far future of the 1980s radiation from a nearby supernova is making Mankind infertile. However the radiation is giving some people psychic abilities. They get glimpses of the future and it's endless ice, and an endless time without Man.

This novel has real people in it that you can care about. It has a plausible situation that you can believe in. It has a genuine feel of a world collapsing. It has an all pervading feel of destiny and tragedy.

Overall, it is beautifully written with a great evocation of the world you knew disappearing into an eternal Ice Age. Just don't expect too many laughs!
