Description

Even as the world ends, a family can still tear itself apart.

Alice Fox is only six when her parents uproot her and their family to escape Britain’s disintegrating cities. However, the seeds of their destruction have already been sown and travel north with them.

In the Scottish Highlands, Alice will learn the skills she needs to survive this dangerous new world. But no matter how hard they try to escape it, the world outside draws its noose ever tighter around them.

Neil J. Cook understood early that writing was the only way to explore other worlds, remake history or peer into the future. He studied literature at university and worked for many years in advertising, primarily selling computer games and energy drinks. It was starting a family that gave him the motivation to write something of greater consequence. Nuncle is his first novel.
