SOON TO BE A MAJOR TV SERIES STARRING JOANNE FROGGATT AND MATHEW
FOX A terrifying apocalyptic thriller from the one of the brightest
stars of the genre... 'Chillingly plausible' DAILY TELEGRAPH It
seems to be a very normal Monday morning. But in the space of only
a few days, the world's oil supplies have been severed and at a
horrifying pace things begin to unravel everywhere. And this is no
natural disaster: someone is behind this. Jenny is stuck in
Manchester, fighting desperately against the rising chaos to get
back to London, where her children are marooned as events begin to
spiral out of control: riots, raging fires, looting, rape and
murder. In the space of a week, London is transformed into a
lawless and anarchic vision of hell. Jenny's estranged husband, oil
engineer Andy Sutherland, is stranded in Iraq with a company of
British soldiers, desperate to find a way home to his family,
trapped as transport links and the very infrastructure of daily
life begin to collapse around him. And against all this, a
mysterious man is tracking Andy's family. He'll silence anyone who
might be able to reveal the identities of those behind this global
disaster. It seems that the same people who now have a stranglehold
on the future of civilisation have flexed their muscles before, at
other significant tipping points in history, and they are prepared
to do anything to keep their secret - and their power - safe.

Jack the Ripper's London...an eerily quiet dining room on the
Titanic...and a series of murders that covers two decades. 1912.
Locked in an eerily quiet dining room on the Titanic, a mysterious
man tells a young girl his life story as the ship begins to sink.
It all starts in Whitechapel, London in 1888... In the small hours
of the night in a darkened Whitechapel alley, young Mary Kelly
stumbles upon a man who has been seriously injured and is almost
unconscious in the gutter. Mary - down on her luck and desperate to
survive - steals his bag and runs off into the night. Two days
later, an American gentleman wakes in a hospital bed with no memory
of who he is or how he got there. He has suffered a serious head
injury, and with no one to help him remember who he is he starts to
wonder how he will ever find his way home. One terrible truth links
these two lost souls in the dark world of Victorian London - a
truth that could ruin the name of the most influential man in the
land... Back in 1912, as the Titanic begins its final shuddering
descent to the bottom of the frozen, black Atlantic, one man is
about to reveal the truth behind a series of murders that have hung
like a dark fog over London for more than two decades...the
identity of Jack the Ripper.

Civilisation is gone. Where does humanity go from here...? The
world lies devastated after the massive oil crisis that was
described in LAST LIGHT. Human society has more or less entirely
broken down and millions lie dead of starvation or disease. There
are only one or two beacon communities that have managed to fashion
a new way of living. Jenny Sutherland runs one of these groups.
Based on a series of decaying offshore oil rigs - for safety - a
few hundred people have rebuilt a semblance of normality in this
otherwise dead world. But as Jenny and her people explore their
surroundings once again, they start to realise not every survivor
has the same vision of a better future than their catastrophic
past. There are people out there who would take everything they
have. War is coming, and the stakes are truly massive...
