Thrillers & Suspense, Science Fiction 

An original and powerful post-apocalyptic thriller, perfect for fans of The Martian. 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. - from Amzon
