Sentinel: The Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller - Paperback

A post-pandemic survival thriller in which the hunt for a vaccine leads to a classified government testing facility and the buried history of Britain's bio-weapons research. Book two of a British dystopian series where sanctuary and siege are never far apart.

Hope Returns. So Does the War.

In the aftermath of a devastating flu pandemic, hope returns for the survivors of the Millennial Virus.

The truth about the outbreak has remained hidden until now. A clandestine government research project may explain the scale and speed of its spread, and when the search for a vaccine leads the Allies to a classified testing facility beyond the New Forest, one man may hold the key to the origin of it all.

Under the watchful protection of the Allies, Hurst Castle has resumed its centuries-old role guarding the western entrance to the Solent, the Isle of Wight designated a quarantine zone free of the virus. The tide of refugees surging towards the island has pressured already scarce resources.

For those lucky enough to call Hurst home, the medieval fortress provides sanctuary from the surrounding wasteland. As Zed Samuels and the other survivors struggle to restore purpose to their shattered lives, rival groups circle the castle's closely guarded resources, and not everyone shares the Allies' aspirations for reconstruction. There's a war coming that threatens to return the entire region to chaos, and Hurst Castle stands directly in its path.

Sentinel is the second book in The Hurst Chronicles, for readers who love post-apocalyptic survival, quarantine-zone politics and British dystopian fiction. Perfect for fans of A.G. Riddle, Hugh Howey and Justin Cronin.
