Apocalypse Baby
A devastating virus is turning humans into ravenous ferals. Max has been surviving the wasteland alone. Kiran has been sheltered in a farming community – until the walls are breached.
Now they’re both running.
When they stumble across an abandoned baby, there’s only one choice: take her with them.Together, the three set out across hostile territory towards the safety of a rumoured settlement. But Max and Kiran are total opposites – and their constant friction sparks into something neither of them expected.
Keeping baby Abby alive is hard enough. Falling for each other might be even harder.
All in a world seeking to kill them.
