When an EMP wipes out Britain’s power grid, four strangers are forced to band together to survive. The power’s out, the water’s gone and cars have stopped working. Two hundred miles from home, Annie soon suspects the cause, but accepting the truth means giving up the hope she’s been clinging to for months. London is the last place Clive wants to be now that darkness has fallen. Armed, trained and resourceful, getting out should be easy—but life isn’t that simple. Terry has seen the chaos first hand, but what can he do? He’s kept his mouth shut and his head down for so long, he no longer knows how to stick up for himself. Can he step up now the world is crumbling around him? Soon they’re left with no choice but to leave, as London descends into chaos. It’s only two hundred miles to safety, but it might as well be two thousand miles in this new, dark world where criminals are rushing to take advantage of the lawlessness. Pushed to their limits and with only a run-down block of flats in common, can they bury their differences and fight their way to safety?
