USA (trade paperback)
Six months have passed since the end of the world, leaving a handful of survivors holed up in a Welsh manor with little to do but survive. They’ve made the best of things, planting food, drinking their way through the cellar’s wine and ale, and reminiscing about the way life used to be. But with supplies running thin, everything is about to change…
“This book is beautifully written, it is scary, thought provoking, fun and different.” – Famous Monsters of Filmland
The arrival of a stranger named Michael sheds new light on their circumstances. If the survivors can reach Cornwall, a few days’ journey south, they will find a safe haven, called Bar None, quite possibly the last bar on earth.
“…a fun, engaging, exceptionally strange and refreshingly original tale for fans of postapocalyptic fiction.” – Publishers Weekly
As they make their way across the Briitish countryside, the survivors will experience a world gone strange, where frightening beings fly high overhead, where flora and fauna press in to fill the void left by the fall of man, and, in the wreckage of civilization, where less fortunate survivors, twisted by plagues, hunger, and fear, stalk human prey.
“It’s a book I will be reading again (and again), there are so many layers here, it’s impossible to dig through them all on a first reading. No, like the beer it so beautifully describes this is a book to savour time and time again to get all the subtle nuances. Tim Lebbon goes from strength to strength in my mind, this isn’t horror writing of the highest order, this is writing of the highest order.” – Highlander’s Book Reviews
Comments
Kel Boon was once an agent of the land’s most secret organisation, tracking and eliminating the Strangers from beyond Noreela. But then one horrifying encounter left his superior officer–and lover–dead, along with many innocents. Kel has been running ever since, hiding out as a simple wood-carver in the fishing village of Pavmouth Breaks. When when a mysterious island appears during a cataclysmic storm, sending tidal waves to smash the village, his training tells him to expect the worst. How can he warn the surviving villagers that the visitors may not be the peace-loving pilgrims they claim to be? That this might be the invasion he has long feared … and that he may be Noreela’s last chance?
