Originally published as 'Ground Zero Man' (with a cover on the UK paperback depicting someone with the worst ever case of earache on record), this is a typical workmnanlike novel by Shaw, with a protagonist trying to come to terms with his own personal issues whilst the world is going mad around him. Originally marketed as a mainstream thriller, this novel nonetheless has science-fictional echoes, both in its subject matter (the protagonist realises he has a way to detonate simultaneously every nuclear weapon on the planet) and some of the plotting (the protagonist uses quirky and odd ways to outwit his pursuers, echoing the sf fan's mantra of 'fans are Slans'). I've always had a soft spot for this novel, in that it mentions my home town, Belper in Derbyshire, in passing. I once asked Bob about this and he said that according to the map, it was just in the right place for the way his character was taking the plot. That says a lot about the way Shaw worked.

Lucas Hutchman is the Ground Zero Man The man who has his finger on the button, the man who can destroy the world - or save it, the man whose own life suddenly has no value, unless he can make the governments of Earth understand that he is the absolute master of the ultimate doomsday device - a device that can trigger every nuclear weapon in existence if Hutchman's demands are not met in time.
