The Quiet Earth

By Craig Harrison

'I was sitting bolt upright in bed breathing fast and staring at the wall. The daylight wasstreaming into the motel room through the slats of the blinds. I seemed to have been awake,and asleep, for ages...' John Hobson, a geneticist, wakes one morning to find his watch stopped at 6.12. The streets aredeserted, there are no signs of life or death anywhere, and every clock he finds has stopped- at6.12. Is Hobson the last person left on the planet? Inventive and suspenseful, The Quiet Earth is a confronting journey into the future-and a darkpast. This new edition of Craig Harrison's highly sought-after 1981 novel-which was later made intoa cult film starring Bruno Lawrence, Pete Smith and Alison Routledge-comes with anintroduction by Bernard Beckett.
