Revue de presse :
"Extraordinary" (Simon Mayo Radio 2 Book Club)
"Ridiculously gripping straight from the start" (Jenny Colgan)
"Will thrill and delight ... a terrifically well-observed, haunting and occasionally harrowing read" (Starburst)
"... what sets this novel apart is Walker's extraordinary emotional articulacy" (The Sun)
"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)
"Brilliant ... superb to the end" (Lucy Mangan)
"A really fun, engaging, exciting, and compassionate take on a familiar scenario: the apocalypse ... Highly recommended" (David Owen Carnegie longlisted author of Panther)
"Compulsively readable" (SFX)
"A compelling read" (The Financial Times)
"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" (Culturefly)
"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)

Edgar Hill is 35 and caught in his own headlock. Overweight slob, under-performing husband and reluctant father – for Ed, the world may as well have already ended. So when it does end in a catastrophic asteroid strike and Edgar and his family find refuge in an Edinburgh army barracks, it comes as something of a relief.
But nothing's ever that simple. Returning from a salvage run in the city, Edgar finds his family gone, taken to the south coast for evacuation by an international task force. Suddenly he finds himself facing a gruelling journey on foot across a devastated United Kingdom. Edgar must race against time and overcome his own short-comings, not to mention 100 mile canyons and a heavily flooded west coast, to find the people he loves before he loses them forever...
A vivid, gripping story of hope, long-distance running and how we break the limits of our own endurance.
