Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Doomsday Eve" by Robert Moore Williams is a science fiction novel written in the late 1950s. Set in a world on the brink of destruction during a war, the story follows Kurt Zen, an American intelligence officer determined to uncover the truth behind mysterious figures known as the "new people." As the plot unfolds, Zen's quest leads him to confront imminent danger and explore the potential powers of this enigmatic group amidst the chaos of war. At the start of the novel, the tension is palpable as Kurt Zen finds himself amidst a violent conflict, unsettled by the stories of extraordinary beings capable of life-saving miracles. In the opening chapters, he grapples with the fear of cataclysmic destruction as he attempts to protect himself and a nurse named Nedra from the immediate threat of a nuclear explosion. Their interactions hint at deeper layers of intrigue and attraction, particularly as Kurt suspects that Nedra may belong to the very group he is investigating. The narrative is rich with suspense, as Zen’s mission unfolds against the backdrop of a war-torn world while he wrestles with the implications of the "new people's" existence and his burgeoning feelings for Nedra. As the plot accelerates, questions of loyalty, identity, and survival take center stage, drawing readers into a gripping tale of human resilience and the search for a brighter future in the midst of despair.
