I read this Gold Medal novel when I was a kid and thought it was great. The Big One has hit New York City, and the place is wiped out. However, there are survivors down in the subway tunnels: "The law of the jungle was supreme: Kill or be killed. Take or be taken." Fine stuff. What I didn't know back in those days is that the author, Richard Foster, was also M.E. Chaber, Christopher Monig, and Kendall Foster Crossen. So I missed the joke in this sentence on page 1: "Bob Randall had been with the Chaber, Crossen, and Monig advertising agency for five years." I may not read the whole book again, but I'm glad I opened it up and read that sentence.
