When it comes to the pub pop quiz, everybody's a Beatles expert, or at least they think they are. But this book reveals that a lot of what has been written is completely untrue.

In the second decade of the 21st century, the world is struck by two catastrophes: a new mini-ice age and a plague to dwarf all previous experiences. Rising out of the disaster is the character known to history as "Bandit Six", an American Army officer caught up in the struggle to rebuild the world and prevent the fall of his homeland - despite the best efforts of politicians, both elected and military. The Last Centurion is a memoir of one possible future, a world that is a darkling mirror of our own. Written "blog-style", it pulls no punches in its descriptions of junk science, bad strategy, and organic farming.

Come molti altri ragazzi della sua età inizia presto a lavorare e i giorni sembrano destinati a susseguirsi identici per sempre finché due eventi inaspettati mescolano le carte. Mentre sta lavorando a una laminatrice Ringo perde un dito ed è costretto a passare lunghi giorni senza far nulla. Li trascorre nell’osteria della signora Paquita, da dove osserva vicini e passanti alle prese con le loro faccende quotidiane, almeno fino a quando la via di fronte al locale viene monopolizzata dalla Signora Mir…
