An English Apocalypse explores a world that faces extermination by infected meteoroids that turn people into rabid killer zombies. As I was reading I thought it was ironic that a virus was the cause of humanity’s downfall, but having researched the book, I understand that it isn’t such a coincidence.
We read a record of events by Paul Collins and the journals of Francisco as their paths cross and they end up working as a part of a team to save the human race. I liked finding out how Paul misleads his team initially to get the compound built. I think this adds an aspect of realism to the story. I also enjoyed the practical details at this stage - the effort and thought required to convince people to work on the compound, how they were going to build it and what would be needed to sustain life for years on Summer Haven.
I thought these details were a very nice touch that helped to make the plot believable and must have required a lot of time and research by the author. On top of the work towards surviving a potential extinction, there’s interesting character relationships and strong side-storylines that I’m not going into too much detail about to avoid spoilers.
This is a well-written science fiction story with dual narration following Paul and Francisco as life as they know it ends and they try to help their people survive the end of the world. It’s set up with the intention of a sequel and may be of interest to fans of The Walking Dead.
