Or lose your family forever…
Edgar Hill, unsympathetic husband and half-hearted father, finds himself in a hopeless situation. Despite all his best efforts, he hasn’t managed to keep his family together. In fact, they are further from him than ever – 550 miles to be precise.
And in a world near annihilated by a terrible disaster, leaving the UK harsh and brutal, uncrossable by car or bike, his journey to find his loved ones will be fraught with challenges.
His best option is to run.
But what if your best isn’t good enough?
Includes original music by Adrian J Walker.
Adrian J. Walker (Author)
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/

Reviews
A real find Extraordinary Ridiculously gripping straight from the start Will thrill and delight ... a terrifically well-observed, haunting and occasionally harrowing read 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. ... what sets this novel apart is Walker's extraordinary emotional articulacyA 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
Brilliant ... superb to the end A really fun, engaging, exciting, and compassionate take on a familiar scenario: the apocalypse ... Highly recommended Compulsively readable Expand reviews
