The truth about the outbreak had remained hidden until now.
When the Millennial Virus rampaged unchecked across the world, the pandemic swept away everything we held dear. Small groups took refuge where they could. There was no time to mourn. Survival was all that mattered.
Far away from the smoking ruins of the cities, on the south coast of England, a lawless power vacuum exists without electricity or government. For those lucky enough to call Hurst their home the medieval fortress provided sanctuary from the surrounding wasteland. As Zed Samuels and the other survivors struggle to rebuild their shattered lives, rival groups covet the castle's closely-guarded resources, probing its defences.
When the search for a vaccine leads Zed and the others to Porton Down, a classified government research facility beyond the New Forest, could an inactive biological weapons program accelerate their understanding of the Millennial Virus and explain the scale and speed of its spread?
Contagion meets The Road, Terrifyingly realistic, A perfect blend of science fiction, history and social commentary.
The UK survivors of a worldwide pandemic adjust to their new lives under the watchful protection of an Allied relief operation. The Isle of Wight faces an unrelenting tide of refugees placing impossible pressure on already over-stretched resources.
Not everyone shares the Allies' aspirations for reconstruction. Dark forces seek to prolong the lawlessness, pursuing their own ambitions. There's a war coming that threatens to return the whole Solent region to chaos. Hurst Castle again finds itself in the path of the coming storm.
If you enjoy fast-paced, post-apocalyptic stories such as The Road, Station Eleven, The Stand, The Last Day, Survivors, Pandemic and The Atlantis Gene, you'll love The Hurst Chronicles series. A dark, dystopian page-turner.
An action-packed, disturbing and thought-provoking story of an all-too-possible dystopian future. - The Book Reviewers
