The world had degenerated into a disease-ridden, over-populated rubbish dump. Chemicals had poisoned the landscape and reduced most of the people to the edge of starvation.Ecology has become a meaningless word from the past. The planet earth speeds on its collision course with disaster. There is a solution but it is so frightful that man cannot conceive of it ever being put into operation.Only one man, Knowle Noland, ex-convict, ex-traveller, and captain of the tramp freighter Trieste Star, is prepared to try. He alone is prepared to dire a shot that will throw the world into hideous war, but may leave a brave new world for the survivors. If there are any survivors.Cover Illustration: Bruce Pennington
