Plot Summary of Autumn
"The story of a group of survivors struggling to come to terms with a world torn apart by disease, Autumn is a dark and relentless novel.

In the space of one morning, billions of people are killed. There are no explanations and no warnings. A handful of survivors shelter together and watch the world crumble around them. Days later and the after-effects of the disease become apparent - many of the bodies begin to move and function again. As the disease-scarred creatures regain consciousness and mobility, three survivors leave the city in a desperate search for safety."

David Moody, Resident Scholar
