Operation Manna

By: James Philip

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

OPERATION MANNA is the second book in the Australian strand of the saga.

In the immediate aftermath of the catastrophe of the Cuban Missiles War of October 1962 the British government and its surviving Commonwealth allies were in a state of shock.

‘Operation Manna’ is about what happened in the days and weeks after the first twenty-four hours of Armageddon.

In Britain the priority was to restore the rule of law, to begin to piece together what was left of the country after the hammer blows which had obliterated London, Liverpool, Chatham, Gravesend, Canterbury and half-wrecked others.

Operation Manna is the story of how the nation was saved; filling in the history of those dreadful first months after the cataclysm.

Author’s note to readers: since the publication of OPERATION ANADYR in October 2014, the Timeline 10/27/62 series has branched into and explored a number of additional narrative arcs and themes, and in several standalone stories.

For my readers who prefer to read the Timeline 10/27/62 books in the chronological order of the overall narrative arc OPERATION MANNA = 18.

The reproofed and reformatted edition of Operation Manna was published on 1 August 2024.
