Super-bleak, ultra-cynical book that's been marketed some places as being like The Andromeda Strain but has more in common with the post-70s nihilism of The Crazies. Linaker is trying to cover a lot of ground in very little space, and so winds up spread a bit thin, but the cumulative grimness has a bludgeoning effect and there are some well done, cinematic bits.
