A vivid, tense, and morally unflinching survival novel.
Kvin’s second installment in the Earth Crash Series is a tense, morally unflinching continuation, deepening its focus on survival not as spectacle, but as consequence. After the asteroid strike, reaching the coast is only the first trial. Fighting cold, hunger, and human desperation, Sarah Fisher travels south along England’s eastern edge, driven by the hope of reuniting with her husband. Each decision brings her closer to survival—and further from the person she used to be.
Kvin’s prose is controlled, unsentimental, and precise, allowing tension to accrue through exhaustion, hunger, and moral fatigue rather than overt dramatics. Encounters advance with an inescapable sense of pressure, revealing how fear warps judgment and converts cooperation into control. Trust is provisional, alliances short-lived, and authority frequently conceals brutality. The novel’s most disturbing moments emerge not from spectacle, but from the quiet calculations forced on those who are simply trying to survive.
Grim, intimate, and resolutely human, this is a survival novel that understands catastrophe as a psychological condition as much as a physical one.
