The End of the World Survivors Club

Summary

In THE END OF THE WORLD RUNNING CLUB Edgar Hill ran 550 miles after an apocalypse to try and find his family.

He had it easy.

This is his wife’s story.

Beth Hill has survived the apocalypse with a baby and toddler in tow. And what’s more she’s done it alone - without her husband’s help. He’s never been any help. But when disaster strikes and someone steals her kids, she knows what she has to do.

The new world might be very different: no government, no law, no infrastructure and a whole lot more ocean than there used to be. But one thing hasn’t changed - the lengths a mother will go to save her family...



Reviews

  • Adrian J Walker had done it again, crafting a book which is possibly even more of an irresistible page-turner than his previous effort...a thrilling, propulsive read which quickly sheds its edgy, unnerving slowburn opener to develop into a balls-to-the-wall action adventure. Genuinely unputdownable, this is a book that sinks its claws into your imagination and your sense of adventure and won’t let go until the final page. Massively enjoyable.

About the author

Adrian J. Walker

Adrian J Walker was born in the bush suburbs of Sydney, Australia in the mid '70s. After his father found a camper van in a ditch, he renovated it and moved his family back to the UK, where Adrian was raised.

Ever since he can remember, Adrian has been interested in three things: words, music and technology, and when he graduated from the University of Leeds, he found a career in software. His novel The End of the World Running Club, a post-apocalyptic running fable about hope, love and endurance, was a Simon Mayo Radio 2 book club choice.

He lives in Aberdeen with his wife and two children. To find out more visit: http://www.adrianjwalker.com/
