Synopsis
When I wake the world is gone. Only fragments remain. And then I remember ...Before: Her life may have taken a couple of wrong turns but Zoe is trying to make the best of what she has. A part-time cleaning job to pay for college, a weekly appointment with her therapist to straighten out the problems in her life. The same problems that any thirty-year-old would have. Nothing major. Nothing life-threatening. A few bad dream, that's all. After: The only thought that remains is survival. Survival in a desolate, post-apocalyptic world. For herself. For her unborn baby. But help is scarce in a world where untold horrors exist around every corner, where food and water are in desperately short supply, and the only chance of happiness is half a world away.

Review
'Adams has an excellent sense of timing, delivering gasp-inducing moments that punctuate her nightmare with verve. But it's Zoe's clear-eyed sense of self-preservation that will keep readers waiting for Adams' follow-up' --Kirkus
'This week s hot read is Alex Adam's debut novel. In White Horse, a deadly virus sweeps the US, killing off the population. Protagonist Zoe, alone and pregnant, she is left to fend for herself. The first of a Hunger Games-esque trilogy the rights have already been sold worldwide' --Grazia
Alex Adams offers bracing dystopian doom in her debut novel...Excellent writing makes her first-person story compulsive --Sunday Telegraph
'A hugely horrifying and emotional apocalyptic novel. White Horse is massively gripping...The narrative is perfectly paced: 'then' chapters drip-feed enough information to keep us reading without revealing the disease's origin, and the 'now' telling a tense tale of survival. Pregnant Zoe is a fantastic lead' Rowena Heal, SciFiNow --SciFiNow
'Excellent writing makes her first person story compulsive' --David Langford, Sunday Telegraph
Adams prose is nothing short of breathtaking --Bookzone, March issue

A part-time cleaning job to pay for college, a weekly appointment with her therapist to straighten out the problems in her life. The same problems that any thirty-year-old would have. Nothing major. Nothing too life threatening. A few bad dreams. It's all going to be fine.Now: There is no other thought but survival. And so begins a treacherous post-apocalyptic trek across a desolate world in search of a life for her unborn baby.Through the remains of what was once civilisation, Zoe crosses continents strewn with fellow survivors, knowing the only thing that can keep her sane is normal human decency. But acts of kindness are few and far between in a world where untold horrors exist around every corner, where food and water is in desperately short supply, and the only chance of happiness is half a world away.
