In London, Martin Larkin, a disillusioned teacher, and Katie, a successful barrister, are about to face a world far removed from their ordinary lives. The arrival of Bohr's Comet, initially a source of global excitement, disrupts technology and throws nature into chaos. As the comet's influence intensifies, Katie undergoes a shocking transformation. She abandons her life with Martin, seeking a radical new identity in Sydney's underbelly. But the comet brings more than personal turmoil. A terrifying illness sweeps across the globe, decimating the population. Society fractures further, and the ABs, a new dominant life form, rise to power. Martin, forced into the role of survivor, navigates a post-apocalyptic world. He grapples with loss, betrayal, and the constant struggle to stay alive. His journey brings him face-to-face with the remnants of authority and a society forever changed. The End culminates in a heart-wrenching confrontation. Martin must confront the woman he once loved, now a symbol of the transformed world, and define his place in this new, unfamiliar order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Golding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1803418818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781803418810\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Roundfire Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Mark Golding","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447985123583,"sku":"9781803418810","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1958f7bf-dfa1-4d4d-adb3-7f48abfdf1d8.jpg?v=1777236131","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-end-mark-golding-9781803418810","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
