What if the thing that brought down civilisations once before has just been set free again?
The dig was routine. A well-preserved Anglo-Saxon bog body, male, mid-forties, buried face-down at the edge of a Lancashire marsh. Forensic archaeologist James Sullivan was the one who opened the skull. He thought he was doing his job. He was doing something else entirely.
What came out of Heyney Man had been dormant for 1,200 years. The entity entered through Sullivan's eye and burrowed to his brain. Within weeks he was unrecognisable: paranoid and violent. Within months he was dead.
Dr Trevor Whittaker, a doctor on the cusp of retirement, is the first person to connect the dots. Nobody believes him. But the entities are already spreading...
This Ends Us is a fast-paced and scary read that will appeal to anyone who enjoyed The Girl With All The Gifts or The Last Of Us.
Genre: Science Fiction
