Aftermath

It has been raining for days on end all over the world. The inundation is causing blackouts, severe flooding, homes going underwater, as well as entire coastal towns disappearing. When will it stop? Wylie Barraga and his dad, Cesar, are hoping for the best but planning for the inevitable, packing up whatever supplies they can find and readying their bass boat to launch. When Wylie's girlfriend, Gwen, and her sister, Harper, call for help, Wylie and Cesar come to the rescue. Before long, water starts filling the house, and the group knows it's time to head for higher ground. Supplies are dwindling and becoming harder to find with everything submerged in the quickly rising water. Emergencies bring out the worst in people, and it doesn't take long until it becomes survival of the fittest. But people have to work together to survive, and there are a few good ones left, ready to band together and look out for each other. Who can they trust? Is there a scientific explanation for the unending deluge, or is it divine intervention? Loyalties are tested. At times like this family means everything, or to some it means nothing at all. There's nothing like the possible end of the world to bring out a person's true feelings and personality. Wylie and Harper are banking on love and humanity to win out.

The stunning return to Dave Hutchinson's post-apocalyptic vision of the future in a world ravaged by climate change. Two years after the events of Shelter, Adam is in Sheffield. Traumatised by what he saw and did in the Parish, and having barely escaped with his life from his contact with Father John's people in Oxford, he's cut his ties with Guz and is trying to live a quiet life with a well-run community on the outskirts of the city. It's a forlorn hope, though. Events are catching up with him. One day he sees a hot-air balloon drifting across the sky. And if this wasn't amazing enough, moments later he watches as the balloon is shot down by a drone. Clearly, something is starting to happen...
