Through ruined and deserted cities, flooded countryside and burning fields, Silas makes his way from an evacuated London all the way to his old home town in the Lake District. Startled and amazed by the world around him, and feeling the depth of regret at memories of his life so far, he must avoid the strict martial law that is in force, and steer clear of the huge nuclear explosions being set off by the military in a last-ditch attempt to correct the earth's faltering orbit.
Less grim survival and more a one-way journey toward redemption, The Man Who Lived at the End of the World is a story for those who prefer their apocalypse to be more personal.
