The novel's title is derived from Revelation 18:10, which is interpreted and quoted in the book as describing the aftermath of a nuclear attack. In the King James Bible, this passage reads: " Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour is thy judgment come. " ***Actually, there is more: Mark, Randy's Airforce brother, had agreed if there was imminent danger that he, Mark was not officially allowed to tell a civilian, he would send Randy a warning message, using the "Alas,Babylon" codewords.
In the novel Alas Babylon, Rita Hernandez is the ex-girlfriend of Randy. she is also the sister of Pete. She has a heritage of Asian and Polynesian blood. She is smart and quick, loves men, stubborn, and is very beautiful.
She likes him. She believes he can do more with his life. And ft repose is to calm and small.
Randy Bragg leaves to meet his brother, Mark, at the nearby McCoy Air Force Base in Orlando. As he drives there, he listens to the news reports on the radio. The Middle East is abuzz with activities and Russia is rattling its sabers at the United States. Randy has heard it before but had not paid much attention to it. In the light of Mark's "Alas, Babylon" warning, though, the news reports are ominous. The warning is Alas Babylon which is the pass word for bad things coming. This is also the name of the book. So that is the relation between the two.
In "Alas, Babylon," Randy Bragg's behavior transforms from a carefree, somewhat irresponsible young man to a more responsible and resourceful leader following a nuclear disaster. The dire circumstances force him to confront his values and take charge of his community's survival. His growth is catalyzed by the need to protect loved ones and adapt to a new reality, showcasing his emerging maturity and resilience in the face of crisis.
There are a few climaxes in Alas, Babylon. One of them is in Ch.5 when the Nuclear attack begins. The second one is when Randy Bragg rallies up a troop for Fort Repose. I also think that one of the climaxes can be when the helicopter lands and the Braggs, Admiral, Henry's, and Florence and Alice are given fresh hope.
