Description
The Metal Mountain by John Healy In a Britain ravaged by war and struggling to maintain its decency, London has become a city of ruins and rubble. Rationing persists, and the black market thrives as medical shortages lead to watered-down antibiotics. Seventeen-year-old Bridget Kelly dreams of a world where everyone is equal, but her courage and determination will put her in terrible danger. As she navigates this treacherous landscape, Bridget's young nephew Michael schemes and plots to win the metal mountain, a gothic edifice that has become a potent symbol for contemporary confusions. Meanwhile, his aunt faces scrutiny from the British secret police, and blackmail, betrayal, and murder follow. A dark and brutal resolution awaits in the railside scrapyard of The Metal Mountain. A sequel to John Healy's earlier work, this novel is a genuine and thought-provoking exploration of our times.
