Synopsis

Yellow Death: Arrival is a gripping post-apocalyptic survival story set in Britain after the collapse of civilisation. Autistic outsider John and abuse survivor Kim, each shaped by very different pasts, must learn to trust one another as they resist a violent dictatorship threatening the fledgling settlements of the new world.

At first, John thought life after the apocalypse was great. Suddenly, it wasn't.

Autistic, socially awkward and friendless, John barely mourns the civilisation the pandemic destroys. Freed from a world that never understood him, he can finally live life on his own terms — and his nerdy obsessions become the skills that keep him alive.

But when a cruel dictatorship rises to threaten the fledgling settlements of post-plague Britain, John can't stay on the sidelines. He's forced into a role for which he's desperately unsuited.

Men have abused Kim her whole life. She's learned the hard way she can't trust them . Now she must survive in a world ruled by violent men, and face her worst fears to save the people she loves.

This is the first book in the Yellow Death Chronicles, a post-apocalyptic series set in Britain exploring morality, survival and the essence of humanity. It follows the events that turn a reclusive autistic loner into a reluctant leader. This is autism meeting the apocalypse.

Arrival is as gritty as The Postman and as complex as Station Eleven — you'll be thinking about it long after you've turned the last page.

Begin your journey into post-apocalyptic Britain and the darker side of human nature with Yellow Death: Arrival.
