A real find
*Stephen King*
Extraordinary
*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*
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.
*The Times*
... 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
*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
*Carnegie longlisted author of Panther*
Compulsively readable
*SFX*
