The End of the World Running Club - by Adrian J Walker (Paperback)

About the Book

Follows the experiences of a man stranded on the wrong side of the country who pushes his limits to traverse more than five hundred miles of devastated wasteland to return to his family.

Book Synopsis

The world ended overnight. But for one man, the real journey is just beginning.

Separated from his family by over five hundred miles of devastation, Edgar Hill must run through the ruins of Britain--or risk losing everything.

When a catastrophic asteroid strike shatters the UK, Edgar, a disengaged father and reluctant husband, is left stranded on the wrong side of the country. Cities are in ruins. The roads are gone. Violence and chaos rule. His only chance to reunite with his family? Running.

What begins as an act of desperation becomes a brutal, redemptive odyssey across a broken land. The End of the World Running Club is a visceral, deeply human tale of transformation, endurance, and the long road to becoming someone worth fighting for.

If The Road gave you chills and Station Eleven broke your heart, you'll devour this international bestseller that the New York Times calls "a fresh and frighteningly real take on what 'the end' might be."
