Four new battles for survival, from the world of Terry Nation's cult-classic series.
The world has ended. The ‘Death’ pandemic crossed continents, sparing only a fraction of the global population.
The survivors are now trying to pick up the pieces and rebuild society - to create a new future.
But with no cities, no laws, no technology, everyone must start over. And the worst of human nature has survived along with the best...

But there are still those who just want to take. And their train is about to come under attack…
8.2 Robert by Jane Slavin
