Publisher Description
Like Herley's "The Penal Colony", this is a thriller set in the near future.
It is twelve years on from a global plague. John Suter believes himself the sole survivor. He has gradually come to terms with his fate and has settled into a steady and self-reliant daily routine.
One morning he finds a mutilated body in the river near his house. In his terror, Suter knows he has no choice but to investigate.
What he discovers upstream stretches his endurance to its limits and forces him to reassess not only his own humanity, but also his place within the human family he had once believed extinct.
WARNING: This book is not suitable for minors. It contains descriptions of violence, sexual activity and satanic worship which some readers may find disturbing.
Customer Reviews
Another good read!
I enjoyed this example of post-apocalyptic fiction so very much. Thank you for writing!
Herley is a unique writer
Just finished reading Refuge. Herley's writing is the thinking person's action story, man against man and man against nature. Another great read by Herley is the Penal Colony. Where has this author been, and why is he not better known?
Refuge is about survival in a post apocalyptic world after its demise from a super plague that wipes out the world's population--or does it? No spoiler in this review, so you'll just have to buy it--very reasonably priced. It's set in the near future, but has a feel of the past about it, too
Great read
A wonderfully intense post-apocalyptic survivalist novel with good dialogue, good editing, and a realistically flawed protagonist.
