Reviews / Votes
A real find -- Stephen King Extraordinary -- Simon Mayo * Radio 2 Book Club * Ridiculously gripping straight from the start -- Jenny Colgan Will 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 Mangan A 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 *More details

Adrian J Walker was born in the bush suburbs of Sydney, Australia in the mid '70s. After his father found a camper van in a ditch, he renovated it and moved his family back to the UK, where Adrian was raised.
Ever since he can remember, Adrian has been interested in three things: words, music and technology, and when he graduated from the University of Leeds, he found a career in software. His novel The End of the World Running Club, a post-apocalyptic running fable about hope, love and endurance, was a Simon Mayo Radio 2 book club choice.
