War Parade: Apocalypse Survivors (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798892698740)

"That's the thing about war, it doesn't just come along when the timing is best for you. All it takes is a spark, a catalyst, an action, a misunderstanding, a sideways glance or a gesture. That's how quickly everything can change. Someone strikes. Fate sealed. Once everyone realises it's on, well, it's on."

Zoe Carter: Survivor

When a comet smashes into Earth, survival comes down to one simple factor. Luck. But when the world around you has changed so irrevocably that the past seems like someone else's dream, the very definition of luck lies purely in the eye of the beholder.

In the second instalment of his Apocalypse Survivors: Norwood series, award-winning author Matt J Pike looks beyond the horror of survival day to tackle the question of what comes next.

For Zoe Carter and her crew, the answer is chaos. In the days since 12/4, her band of longtime friends and newfound allies has been caught up in a battle for survival. One that's waging across multiple fronts, as Adelaide's survivor groups face off in an increasingly vicious and desperate standoff for resources.

But the biggest danger comes from within, as Norwood's ruthless new leader looks to impose his will on the people in means both fair, foul and fatal. But he's not the only one with weapons at his disposal and a vision for how the future should look. And people can only be pushed so far.
