Publisher's Synopsis
"Magnus McFall was a comic on the brink of his big break when the world came to an end. Now, like other survivors of the mysterious plague that has decimated the planet, he is a man on the run. Thrown into unwilling partnership with an escaped convict named Jeb, Magnus flees the eerie desolation of de-populated London to make the long journey north, clinging to hope that the sickness has not reached his family in Scotland. Traveling through a familiar landscape now fraught with danger, Magnus finds himself a stranger in a world ruled by men like Jeb--hard-hearted, practical men quick to make life-or-death decisions. Death Is a Welcome Guest describes a world with its own harsh code of justice, and a new set of rules. Where people, guns and food are currency. Where survival is everything"--.
