It's 1962, the week of the Cuban missile crisis, and the world is threatened by nuclear war. He's a science-fiction fan who fears he won't live to see a futuristic world of high-technology, including space travel and robots, and will never have a girlfriend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdrian lives in Hull, a north-eastern English city still half-flattened by WW2 bombing. He assumes that with his country’s experience of intense bombing during the last war, there will be a swift introduction of emergency preparedness measures. But everyone continues with their lives as normal. Nobody prepares; Adrian begins to think the grownups must all be mad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe is also in love with a girl from another school, is troubled by sexual thoughts, and through some awkward moments begins to wonder if he really has the brains to participate in a technological future. The seven days of “Fear Week” narrate his exploits, blunders and embarrassments during the nuclear crisis, and his yearnings for the girl of his dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrew McBurnie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47168334692592,"sku":"2940045002011","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045002011_p0.jpg?v=1763681806","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045002011","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
