Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Peter Grant has shot his mother. He is sixteen years old. Now he must survive after the Great Death which has killed all but a tiny percentage of the population. This dystopian thriller follows Peter, as he pursues a violent path between feuding gangs of warlords, and primitive communities, to his ultimate redemption. ‘Survivors: Genesis of a Hero' is amongst the first of the apocalyptic novels and is based on the famous British TV series of the 1970s. Relevant then, it is even more so today. Throughout Britain groups of survivors are banding together, forming primitive communities, and painfully re-learning forgotten but essential skills and crafts. The largest of these is the authoritarian National Unity Force, whose self-styled President, Arthur Wormley, has taken over the remnants of the armed services and now lives like a king in Windsor Castle with his scheming and ambitious ‘queen’, Sarah Boyer. But there are other groups organized on different lines—groups like the ‘Rat-Pack’, who live in the London Underground: the primitive capitalist community in the north whose leader is known simply as ‘The Trader’: and the ‘Red Dragons’, who mount guerrilla-type operations to prevent the NUF from spreading its power into Wales. This is a gripping story of violent conflict in a world of political idealism and power struggles, in which the keynote is survival. John Eyers is the pen name used by Peter Hill when he was commissioned to write this book based on the TV series. ‘Survivors’. Although based on the TV series, this is a stand-alone novel and can be read as such without prior knowledge of the series.
