Product Description

Product Description

Over the course of a couple of days, all the liquid is lost from the body, leaving in its wake a dried shell.
Just a slight vibration is enough for the corpse to detonate, sending millions of dust spores into the air.

Everyone over the age of 40 has been wiped out by an unidentified fungal plague. Only the young remain. The survivors leave their shelters and emerge into a world blanketed with clouds of drifting spores.

They believe that the worst is over, now is the time to start re-building. They have yet to encounter the abominations, altered by the spores. They thought the plague was the end.

The plague is just the beginning.

Escape...flee!!! 9 Jan 2012
By DJP
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Right from the start - you know this is going to be a story that ends with very few survivors. The under-40's are battling to stay alive as a host of mutated animal hybrids and altered humans threaten to wipe mankind from the earth.

With a disparate group of characters; besieged by turns by the Military and their ulterior motives, not-quite lost loved ones and the implacable and relentless hunger of the plague-ridden - Ian creates a desperate thread of hope amongst the vile horror that pervades every section of the story. Pleasingly; most of the good guys will have what it takes to emerge alive at the end - but is there any hope of escape beyond the last page? It looks like a gut-wrenchingly certain abomination-filled finality for the last Humans.

(Regarding reviews about typo's etc: an updated version appears to up now which answers a lot of these issues.)

riveted from the first paragraph....
some great descriptions which Ian seems to be best at! so vivid...
the story was imaginative and great with some real life horrors thrown in for good measure...
believable characters which you can sympathize with even if doing dodgy things.... who hasn't dreamed of weeing in someones tea!!
my only little complaint would be that Ian seems to rush the endings... but I am hoping thats because there is going to be a sequel....
hint hint!
really glad I found the author as he is becoming a firm favourite of mine... such originality in all his works....

Yet again another great book for the kindle written by ian woodhead.
After all the forty year olds have been wiped out due to the spores this leaves everybody else on the earth fighting for thier lives.
They sooon realise that things outside have settled down or so they think as the spore clouds start to clear. So the characters in the story then decide to go thier own seperate ways to see what the outside world is like now.
I wont say much more than that as it would give some fantastic surprise elements to the story that you would not have expected to happen. But this story is another great sci-fi/gross read from the warped mind of a great writer who i would recomend to anyone who likes blood splat and lots of gore. A 5 star read.
