The End of the World Survivors Club by Adrian J Walker

Beth has managed thus far without her (mostly) useless husband, but when her children are taken from her she'll need friends old and new to help her cross a new, terrifying ocean to track them down.





It's a long time since I read the End of the World Runner's Club and, to be honest, I didn't remember all the characters or the exact sequence of events. But I remembered the basics, the inventive apocalypse I haven't seen anywhere else, and that unnerving, open ending. That at least is dealt with relatively quickly in this, what I'm assuming is the central novel of a trilogy. Things happen fast in this novel, with little down time.

I was a little surprised at how quickly everyone picked up how to sail - from what I know it's a complicated hobby with a lot to go wrong - but I understand that they didn't have much else to concentrate on and that when they need to people can learn very quickly. I'm looking forward to the possible third book to tie up those last couple of loose ends.

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...
