While a final evacuation of Nova Scotia is planned, the search for lost communities begins. The journey takes Bill and Kim to the very end of the Earth, and to a meeting with familiar strangers.
Crossing the border, Sholto endures a bittersweet homecoming to the land he’d embraced so many decades ago. The United States he remembered is gone, and yet he can see its shadow among the burned ruins and desolate towns of the American Northeast.
The rains soon turn to a flood that washes away the few bridges not destroyed during the failed quarantine. With no other escape from the deluge, they take to the river. On the Hudson, they sail into the middle of a civil war. When they learn one faction is led by the last surviving member of the political conspiracy that caused the apocalypse, it is obvious which side to take.
Set among the thawing wilderness of Quebec and Ontario, the swollen rivers and flooded roads of New York, and in the courtrooms of Canberra, this novel includes characters and events from the five-part Pacific-based series Life Goes On.
Author’s Note: Originally, this series was going to be called The Zombie War Crimes Trial, and it was to be set 20 years after the apocalypse, during the trial of a politician involved in the Evacuation of Britain. During the trial, the journal would have been presented as evidence. In order to maintain the mystery of who the journal author was (and who the odd American survivor with the funny name, and now running a bar, was going to rescue), I didn't name the character, and even avoided all pronouns, until it became clear the journal was too long to publish as part of another book. So, I named my character Bartholomew, and then...
After seven books, it became obvious that the pace of the story was such it would take years to get to the point anyone was able to hold a trial, and I was able to write about what would happen next, so I invented Strike a Match. Then I returned to this series. What happened? Well, years went by, and here we are.
While I've had a few echoes of that original idea in the series so far, it was when I realised this story should begin with the Zombie War Crimes Tribunal that the rest of the plot slotted into place. The original trial was supposed to take place on the Isle of Wight. This tribunal takes place in... well, you can read for yourself.
