The internationally bestselling author of the “brilliant, gripping must-read” (Glamour) Try Not to Breathe brings suspenseful thrills in this unputdownable novel following three women as they face an incoming nuclear attack.

Nuclear missile threat to South England. 59 minutes until impact. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a test.

Carrie is a young mother desperate to reunite with her daughter. Frankie, newly pregnant, faces a romantic vacation that takes a terrifying turn. Then there’s the enigmatic older woman determined to protect her teenage daughter, Bunny, no matter what.

Across South England, these three women must navigate survival amidst chaos when the country receives a nuclear bomb alert. With only 59 minutes before mass destruction, will they make it to their loved ones in time?

Performance was good. Story was not.

Great concept. Poor execution. It would have been much better if it ended after 59 minutes.

Could not stop listening!

Was expecting dystopian. Not my usual genre. This book was amazing! 2025 answer to 1984! No more sci fi… it’s all sci realism!

Could have been a good story

Titled to be an apocalyptic novel but ended up being deceptive boring fluff. Save your credit.
