About this ebook

They took the job to escape the world
They didn't expect the world to end.


Kasker Rampart: a derelict refinery platform moored in the Arctic Ocean. A skeleton crew of fifteen fight boredom and despair as they wait for a relief ship to take them home.

But the world beyond their frozen wasteland has gone to hell. Cities lie ravaged by a global pandemic. One by one TV channels die, replaced by silent wavebands.

The Rampart crew are marooned. They must survive the long Arctic winter, then make their way home alone. They battle starvation and hypothermia, unaware that the deadly contagion that has devastated the world is heading their way...

I really liked this book, I read it 3 times in the space of 8 years and each time I came back i found it to be thrilling and keeping you interested. It has steady suspense and you can easily put yourself in the shoes of the characters thanks to extremely descriptive scenarios

Started off well but got lost in the mid section with going to fast for reality. The build up to the end was ok.
