Critics Review

Extraordinary

A real find – Stephen KingExtraordinary – Simon Mayo * Radio 2 Book Club *Ridiculously gripping straight from the start – Jenny ColganWill thrill and delight … a terrifically well-observed, haunting and occasionally harrowing read * Starburst *This is an uplifting, exciting and often humorous yarn about camaraderie, endurance and redemption. Throughout, Walker nicely evokes the agony and exhilaration of distance running. * The Times *… what sets this novel apart is Walker’s extraordinary emotional articulacy * The Sun *

A page-turning thriller with a pace as relentless as the characters’ feet hitting the pavement. A deft look into the mind of a man who needs the near-destruction of the world to show him what truly matters

– Laura Lam * author of False Hearts *Brilliant … superb to the end – Lucy ManganA really fun, engaging, exciting, and compassionate take on a familiar scenario: the apocalypse … Highly recommended – David Owen * Carnegie longlisted author of Panther *Compulsively readable * SFX *
