Ridiculously gripping straight from the start
Jenny Colgan
A page-turning thriller with a pace as relentless as the characters' feet hitting the pavement. A deft look into the mind of a man who needs the near-destruction of the world to show him what truly matters
Laura Lam, author of False Hearts
A really fun, engaging, exciting, and compassionate take on a familiar scenario: the apocalypse ... Highly recommended
David Owen, Carnegie longlisted author of Panther
Will thrill and delight ... a terrifically well-observed, haunting and occasionally harrowing read
Starburst
Compulsively readable

a book that you won’t ever want to reach the final page of. All good things must come to an end but Walker’s tale of courage and fortitude will linger on

... what sets this novel apart is Walker's extraordinary emotional articulacy
The Sun
This is a wonderful book. The author brings an almost cozy domesticity to the end of the world, as his protagonist struggles to come to terms with what it means to be a husband and a father as the world falls apart around him. The central journey is a glorious roar of defiance against the brutality of a broken world and a shattered society, woven together with a lament for things lost and things left undone and unsaid. Adrian Walker breaks your heart in unexpected ways, and leaves you with a sense of stories still to be told. An end-of-the-world tale that is anything but an ending
Anne Corlett, author of The Space Between the Stars
A fresh and frighteningly real take on what "the end" might be . . . quite an exciting and nerve-wracking ‘run’, with characters you believe in and feel for.
New York Times bestselling author Robert McCammon
This is an uplifting, exciting and often humorous yarn about camaraderie, endurance and redemption. Throughout, Walker nicely evokes the agony and exhilaration of distance running.
