Mute: Boy meets girl at the end of the world in this fast-paced thriller about love and mutants
Georgie is classy, competent, and to Ant she’s captivating.Ant is none of the above.
In a normal world they might never have met, but this is the apocalypse, and the world is far from normal.Georgie first meets Ant when she rescues him from certain death at the hands - and teeth - of seriously bloodthirsty mutants. Ant is smitten by his saviour but Georgie is mourning the love of her life, and Ant is simply not her type.
It’s an awkward start but Georgie and Ant realise that when it comes to the business of survival they make a powerful team, and before you can say zombie armageddon it’s Georgie and Ant against the (end of the) world.
The mutants that most of humankind have become don’t follow the rules that Ant has learned from a steady diet of zombie movies. But that doesn’t make them any less deadly. Against increasingly overwhelming odds the unlikely action heroes must protect each other, and those who have come to depend on them, as they chase down a desperate lead in their search for the people they've lost…

About the author
A.W. Wilson
10 books19 followersA.W. Wilson writes books for people who like laughing at things they probably shouldn't. He combines pacy, compelling plots with irreverent, observational, and sometimes quite silly comedy, enjoying seeing how his characters get on in dangerous, intriguing and absurd situations.
He has recently been inspired by a good friend to update and relaunch his first novel, Accidental Hitman, as the first volume of a series. He's delighted with the refreshed version and with the progress on the sequel.
He's also the author of Christ, Man!, a satirical retelling of biblical events through the very human eyes of Jesus' best mate. It's not meant to offend but this one is best avoided by readers who may be sensitive to provocative humour.
When not writing, he can be found with a book in his hand, or walking around his adopted home town of London, finding inspiration for his next chapter, and trying to avoid the temptation of all the pubs he passes.

Another great book, well done A.W.W.
Well written, funny in places (especially the socks, or lack thereof), but deadly serious mostly and an unexpected ending.
Well rounded characters, well constructed settings and a great plot.
When's the next one out?
