The End of the World Running Club

by Adrian J. Walker Narrated by Jot Davies

Overview

Edgar Hill is thirty-five 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 grueling journey on foot across a devastated United Kingdom. Edgar must race against time and overcome his own shortcomings, not to mention hundred 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.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Harrowing and heartrending, this is a novel that is almost impossible to put down. " — Library Journal, Starred Review

"Adrian Walker breaks your heart in unexpected ways, and leaves you with a sense of stories still to be told. An end-of-the-world tale that is anything but an ending." — Anne Corlett, author of The Space Between the Stars

"A fresh and frighteningly real take on what "the end" might be . . . quite an exciting and nerve-wracking ‘run’, with characters you believe in and feel for." — New York Times bestselling author Robert McCammon
