THE WORLD WAS ALREADY FALLING APART.
It is 2026.
The cost of living is spiralling out of control.
Wars are breaking out across the globe.
Governments are struggling to maintain order.
People everywhere are frightened about what comes next.
Then a seemingly harmless cold virus emerges in North West India.
At first, nobody pays much attention.
Why would they?
Humanity has seen outbreaks before.
This one feels different.
By the time the truth becomes impossible to ignore, it is already too late.
The infection spreads faster than anyone believed possible.
Borders collapse.
Cities descend into chaos.
And the fragile systems holding civilisation together begin to crumble.
As the world hurtles towards catastrophe, a group of ordinary people—including Max, Caz, and Lanny—must navigate a nightmare unlike anything humanity has ever faced.
They are not soldiers.
They are not heroes.
They are just people trying to survive the end of the world.
And survival may no longer be enough.
A sprawling, character-driven horror epic packed with suspense, heartbreak, terror, and unforgettable moments, this is apocalyptic fiction at its most gripping and human.
Perfect for fans of Stephen King, Michael Crichton, Robert McCammon, and large-scale disaster novels where ordinary people are forced into extraordinary circumstances.
The virus is spreading.
Society is collapsing.
And the end is only beginning.
