Excellent novelisation of sections of the first season of the 1970s original series of Survivors. While the overall plot remains the same, Nation weaves in a few changes and surprises to keep the book fresh, and the ending will have you on the edge of your seat. A brilliant and thrilling read made all the more compelling by the current Covid pandemic. It should be regarded as one of the classics of pandemic and apocalypse fiction. 11 out of 10.

Found my original copy of this book in the back of a cupboard at work about 15 years ago. It was the start of my love of survivor fiction. The 1970s TV series is true to the book. Very disappointed by the remake in around 2010; the characters names are about all they kept the same.

A prophetic book published 44yrs before COVID. This is what a real pandemic and human nature truly looks like.

This is the book upon which the 1970s TV series is based. Initially the plot is very similar, though the book and TV series diverge later on. Excellent reading though.
