The End of the World Running Club extract

When the world ends, what do you try to save? Your family.

The End of the World Running Club sees Britain nearly annihilated by asteroids. In Edinburgh, Edgar Hill and his family have survived – just. But despite his best efforts, Edgar hasn’t managed to keep his family together.

There’s a hope that they can all be rescued, but with the roads in ruins and society destroyed, Edgar has only one choice: cross Britain on foot. In three weeks. It’s 550 miles of blood, sweat, tears and a constant struggle to stay alive. Can he make it? If he wants to save his family, he has to.

Fear, determination, hope, panic, anguish, blisters & the ultimate race against time. Welcome to the End of the World Running Club…
