2055 Jeremy Gilder

"2055" is set in a time when the Chinese governed Australia and its people had grave concerns on two fronts - first, the capacity to produce enough food, and second, the possibility of nuclear war. Even people on the land, with large properties like Ewan Mackenzie, worried about the proliferation of nuclear missiles that had occurred around the globe, knowing that leaders of a number of countries could "pull the trigger" at any moment. This was the reason Ewan decided to purchase a large Unit in one of the enormous nuclear-proof structures the Chinese had built outside of Canberra. When nuclear war broke out, Ewan sought immediate refuge in his Unit. However, this Unit, in the circumstances, became his prison, from which there was to be no escape. As chance would have it a beautiful woman from Ewan's past, Olivia Langham, found her way into Ewan's building and an instant attraction began. Ultimately, Ewan and Olivia had the choice of staying together in the building, or somehow escaping into what was certain to be a hostile environment. With help from unexpected sources their lives suddenly took a dramatic and unexpected turn.
