Synopsis

“Simply unputdownable! Sentinel is the type of book that draws you in. A fast-paced and thrilling read. Highly recommended.” - Mary’s Bookcase.

+++++++++++

The truth about the outbreak had remained hidden until now. Could a clandestine government research project help explain the scale and speed of its spread?

When the search for a vaccine leads Zed and the others to Porton Down, a classified government research facility beyond the New Forest, will an inactive biological weapons program speed up their understanding of the Millennial Virus?

"Contagion meets The Road", "Terrifyingly realistic", "A perfect blend of science fiction, history and social commentary."

The UK survivors of a worldwide pandemic adjust to their new lives under the watchful protection of an Allied relief operation. The Isle of Wight faces an unrelenting tide of refugees placing impossible pressure on already over-stretched resources. 

Not everyone shares the Allies’ aspirations for reconstruction. Dark forces seek to prolong the lawlessness, pursuing their own ambitions. There’s a war coming that threatens to return the whole Solent region to chaos. Hurst Castle again finds itself in the path of the coming storm.

If you enjoy fast-paced, post-apocalyptic stories such as The Road, Station Eleven, The Stand, The Last Day, Survivors, Pandemic and The Atlantis Gene, you'll love The Hurst Chronicles series. A dark, dystopian page-turner.

"An action-packed, disturbing and thought-provoking story of an all-too-possible dystopian future." - The Book Reviewers

About this title

About the Author

Robin Crumby is an author and writer living in London with his wife and two children. Since reading John Wyndham’s Day of the Triffids as a child, he became fascinated by end of the world dystopian literature. More recently, re-reading Cormac McCarthy’s The Road and Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven inspired him to start writing. Why? Because post-apocalyptic fiction fires the imagination like nothing else. Pondering what comes next, who would survive, what would life look like? Much of the best fiction in this popular genre focuses on brain-eating zombies or events unfolding in the USA so Robin determined to write a story set in the UK. His Eureka moment came wandering the shingle beach at Milford-on-sea, inspired by the beauty and rich history of the Solent. Where better to survive the end of the world than a medieval castle surrounded by water? Robin spent much of his childhood messing about in boats, exploring the many waterways, ports and military forts of the Isle of Wight, where The Hurst Chronicles are set.
