Corona – David Arrowsmith 


 

In a fallen London, how far will one man go to save his family - and himself...

... or is it already too late?

Trapped in his top floor mansion block apartment in Denmark Hill, South East London, can The Man escape and pick his way through the crumbling ruins of the city, avoiding the violent gangs that now vie for supremacy, and find his heavily pregnant ex-wife?

Can a belated act of heroism wash him clean of his sins, or is he too far gone?

In a world where civilization has collapsed, what hope is there for the future?

Corona is a story about the dark - and the light - inside all of us. It's about man's inhumanity, and humanity. It's a story in which the threat, the danger, comes from within us - not from the undead or vampires or even a virus, but from our neighbours, our friends, even (especially) ourselves.

It's also a story about fatherhood, and the fear and trauma that comes with the awesome responsibility of bringing a life into a broken and violent world.

Corona combines elements of dystopian fiction with the literary survival horror of works like J.G. Ballard's High Rise and Concrete Island. It's the perfect read for fans of The Road, The Last of Us, Children of Men, I am Legend, Mad Max, The Walking Dead and 28 Days Later.
