August's book is the post-apocolyptic story "On The Beach" by Nevil Schute.
The story is set in what was then the near future (1963 in the book) in the months following World War III. The conflict has devastated the northern hemisphere, polluting the atmosphere with nuclear fallout and killing all life. While the nuclear bombs were confined to the northern hemisphere, global air currents are slowly carrying the fallout to the southern hemisphere.
The group will meet on Wednesday, August 27th at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the story. Meetings take place in the upstairs board room of the Linebaugh Library.
