Nordenholt’s Million

Description
As a new bacteria strain emerges and causes the collapse of the world’s food supply, wealthy and powerful Stanley Nordenholt steps forward with a plan to try to save a small, select portion of the British population. Sequestered in Scotland, he leads the group in a race between their dwindling food supply and their effort to reverse the damage caused by the bacteria as the outside world descends into chaos and starvation. Blending ecological disaster and science fiction with psychological and sociological exploration, Nordenholt’s Million asks the reader how far might they be willing to go—and at what cost—to save humanity from total disaster.
First published in Britain in 1923, the novel is the first and best-known novel by J. J. Connington. His academic career in chemistry, physics, and radioactivity provide a strong foundation for a story that is both gripping and thought-provoking.
