It’s just a temporary halt in oil production – but within days, the implications are devastating. Andy Sutherland, a civilian engineer, is stranded in Iraq, determined to find a way home to his family. His wife, Jenny, never took Andy’s warnings about a potential oil crisis seriously but now, as she tries to reach her children, his words come back to her with terrifying clarity.
My Thoughts: Wow! Oil is cut off around the Earth, leaving billions of people fighting amongst each other to survive in a world of absolute chaos. This one is a really dark apocalyptic tale of survival, which is made all the more shocking because it is not entirely a distant issue. This is something that could quite possibly happen to us, and Scarrow explores this possibility with brutal depth and frightening conclusion.
I'm off to read book 2!
