The End of the World Running Club by Adrian J. Walker begins with an asteroid strike that devastates Britain, and an unfit father named Ed who is separated from his wife and children. His only option is to run — 500 miles across a ruined country — to reach them. The novel, first published in 2014, became a word-of-mouth hit for its combination of post-apocalyptic tension and genuine emotional depth about fatherhood and personal failure.

The End of the World Survivors Club (2019) continues the story, shifting focus to the aftermath and the challenge of rebuilding. Together, the two books form a duology about survival in both senses: staying alive, and becoming someone worth keeping alive.
