John Christopher's spin on John Wyndham's so-called 'cosy catastrophe' formula focuses on the catastrophe and forgets about the cosy. The book is not that bothered about about being overtly SF, either - there's something horribly mundane and plausible about the book's depiction of the spread of a crop virus, misfiring attempts to stop it, and the increasingly desperate measures taken by the authorities as the food simply runs out.
Particularly strong on characterisation and the impact of the disaster on the protagonist: initially a decent upper-middle-class chap, John Custance finds the survival of his family requires him to condone (and even commit) acts of betrayal, murder, and maybe even worse things. Powerful ideas, and Christopher's no-nonsense style lets them into the reader's mind where they linger uncomfortably. A fine book that deserves to be better known.
