<p><b>Introduced by Jeff VanderMeer - ''a classic: stunning, dangerous, darkly beautiful'' - welcome to the post-apocalyptic <i>White Lotus</i>: a luxury hotel at the end of the world in this lost 1967 dystopia ...</b><br><br>''Chilling and prescient.'' <b>Andrew Hunter Murray </b>''Elemental and true.'' <b>Kiran Millwood Hargrave </b>''Mesmerizing.'' <b>Sandra Newman </b>''Like someone from the future screaming to us.'' <b>Salena Godden</b><br><br><i>The day we came up from the shelters four people were found dead on the steps of the hotel.</i><br><br> Welcome to Termush: a luxury coastal resort like no other. All the wealthy guests are survivors: preppers who reserved rooms long before the Disaster. Inside, they embrace exclusive radiation shelters, ambient music and lavish provisions; outside, radioactive dust falls on the sculpture park, security men step over dead birds, and a reconnaissance party embarks.<br><br>Despite weathering a nuclear apocalypse, their problems are only just beginning. Soon, the Management begins censoring news; disruptive guests are sedated; initial generosity towards Strangers ceases as fears of contamination and limited resources grow. But as the numbers - and desperation - of external survivors increase, admist this moral fallout, they must decide what it means to forge a new ethical code at the end (or beginning?) of the world ...<br><br><b>Translated by Sylvia Clayton</b></p>
