When nuclear war reduces the civilised world to smouldering ruin, one man's desperate bid for survival becomes the ultimate test of humanity. Long Voyage Back follows Neil Loken, a sailing instructor who finds himself at the helm of a trimaran off the coast of Virginia when the bombs begin to fall — and suddenly the open ocean is the only refuge left on a dying planet. As cities burn and society collapses behind them, Neil and his motley crew of survivors must navigate treacherous waters, dwindling resources, and the darkest impulses of human nature in a race to find safe harbour somewhere on a poisoned Earth. Luke Rhinehart, best known for the cult classic The Dice Man, brings his razor-sharp psychological insight to this post-apocalyptic maritime thriller, crafting a narrative that is as much a study of moral collapse as it is a pulse-pounding adventure. The novel argues that catastrophe strips away the veneer of civilisation with terrifying speed, forcing ordinary people into extraordinary — and often brutal — choices. Rhinehart's prose is taut and propulsive, balancing visceral action with deeply unsettling questions about loyalty, leadership, and what it truly means to survive. For those who dare to read it, the horizon ahead offers no easy promises.
