Summary

Life in the frozen wastelands of Texas is anything but easy, but for Clay Whitaker there is always more at stake than mere survival.

It's been seven years since the ash billowed into the atmosphere, triggering some of the harshest winters in recorded history. Populations are thinning. Food is scarce. Despair overwhelming. With no way to sustain order, societies collapsed, leaving people to fend for themselves.

Clay and his sister Megan have taken a handful of orphaned children into their home - a home soaring 16 stories into the sky. With roughly six short months a year to gather enough food and supplies to last the long, brutal winter, Clay must spend most of his time away from his family to scavenge, hunt, and barter.

When Clay rescues a young woman named Kelsey from a group of Screamers, his life is catapulted into a new direction, forcing him to make decisions he never thought he would have to make.

Now, with winter rolling in earlier than ever, Clay's divided attention is putting him, and his family, at risk.

Great read, defo recommended

Though it was a good story I felt too much was missing and left us confused as a reader. you never hear about the ash that fell and throughout are distracted by the thought that may be you are reading book 2 instead if book 1. don't call it AS The Ash Fell when it is in fact about AFTER The Ash Fell though we never really hear anything about any ask that fell. After realising there is no prequel and it really dies just focus on an aftermath I'm too annoyed to read books 2. This book was ok but not what 8t was aftertis3d as so left my need unfulfilled. if I buy baked beans I don't want to open the tin to find peas.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
