Publisher's Summary

An unstoppable virus. Humanity’s last stand has failed.

In the aftermath of a devastating global pandemic, what would you do be prepared to do to survive? Where would you go? Who could you trust?

The UK survivors of a pandemic flu virus hide behind the high walls of a medieval fortress, struggling to rebuild in a world without electricity or government. Scraping a living far away from the smoking ruins of the cities, they wait in hope.

Hurst Castle stands alone. Its 74 occupants united in a struggle for survival against all the odds. The Millennial Virus is the least of their concerns. When the arrival of outsiders threatens to tip the balance of power, the people of Hurst are faced with a desperate choice: set aside their differences and join an alliance that promises new hope or unite against the newcomers and their plans for reconstruction.

Who can be trusted? Only time will tell.

The battle for Hurst has begun.

If you enjoy fast-paced post-apocalyptic stories such as The Day of the Triffids, The Road, Station Eleven, The Stand, and The Atlantis Gene, you'll love the Hurst Chronicles series that weaves together history, science, and social commentary in a dark, dystopian pause-resistor.
