À propos de cet audio
A "suspenseful, atmospheric tale...punctured by a gut-punch twist" (Entertainment Weekly), A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World is a story of survival, courage, and hope amid the ruins of our world.
My name's Griz. I've never been to school, I've never had friends, and in my whole life I've not met enough people to play a game of football. My parents told me how crowded the world used to be, before all the people went away. But we were never lonely on our remote island. We had each other and our dogs.
Then the thief came.
"This unputdownable story has everything - a well-imagined post-apocalyptic world, great characters, incredible suspense, and, of course, the fierce love of some very good dogs." (Kirkus, starred review)

The cabin had always been a special retreat for Isherwood Williams, a haven from the demands of society. But one day while hiking, Ish was bitten by a rattlesnake, and the solitude he had so desired took on dire new significance. Ish headed home when he finally felt himself again—and noticed the strangeness almost immediately. No cars passed him on the road; the gas station not far from his cabin looked abandoned; and he was shocked to see the body of a man on the roadside near a small town. Without a radio or phone, Ish had no idea of humanity’s abrupt demise.

On the edge of the Northern Atlantic lies a remote island. The islanders are an outwardly harmonious community—but all have their own secrets, some much darker than others. And when a strange disorder begins to infect them all, those secrets come to light. Ferry service fails and contact with the mainland is lost. Rumors begin to swirl as a temporary inconvenience grows into nightmarish ordeal. The fabric of the once tight-knit island is unnervingly torn apart—and whatever the cause, the question soon stops being how or why it happened, but who, if anyone, will survive.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Edgar Hill is 35 and caught in his own headlock. Overweight slob, underperforming husband, and reluctant father - for Ed, the world may as well have already ended. So when it does end in a catastrophic asteroid strike and Edgar and his family find refuge in an Edinburgh army barracks, it comes as something of a relief. But nothing's ever that simple. Returning from a salvage run in the city, Edgar finds his family gone, taken to the south coast for evacuation by an international task force.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"Fletcher's suspenseful, atmospheric tale imagines a near future in which our world is in ruins.... An adventure saga punctured by a gut-punch twist." (Entertainment Weekly)
"[A] heart-and gut-wrenching tale of a post-apocalyptic world.... A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World takes a memorable journey of loyalty and love and transforms it into an unraveling mystery of self-discovery and exploration.... This is the story of trust and loyalty within a family, and finding your own pack - even if they're different from the pack you were born into." (Bookpage)
"The hunt for Jess propels this story forward like a rocket, and Fletcher does a masterful job keeping the stakes high and the suspense crackling while still creating plenty of space for readers to get to know Griz and explore this fascinating not-quite-empty world. This unputdownable story has everything-a well-imagined post-apocalyptic world, great characters, incredible suspense, and, of course, the fierce love of some very good dogs." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

Perfect in Every Way...
This is the sort of novel we all hope as readers to find under every cover and never forget when we do. It truly is a wonderful story with characters that remind you what it is to be alive. Grateful to have found it. Only sad thing is I don’t expect to read a better novel this year.

Great addition to the post-apocalypse/dystopian genre
Great story-well written. I have to say that the narrator (who I just discovered was the author) put me off at first. Not sure why - but after 10 minutes I found the narration adding to my enjoyment of this book rather than detracting from it. The author paints a very plausible and believable picture of a thinly populated pst-apocalyptic world-and sets a great story with interesting characters in it. Certainly one of my top 10 audiobooks.

Joins the best in dystopian lit
This is a thoughtful and beautifully written novel. It gently probes a possible future, painting humanity in all our truths - ugly and not. I love that it is narrated by the author. Makes a first person story authentic, natural sounding, and true to the author’s interior vision and (of course) voice.

People who love dogs, are good to be with
My brother’s dog Hoss was killed by wolves yesterday and after I learned the sad news, I finished this audio book while spending precious time with Merlin, my old Bernese Kitchen Dog and appreciating him to the fullest.

OUTSTANDING!
I have to admit that I bought this book because the reviews were so consistently good.I really thought 'It cant be THAT good!'.It really was.One of the very best Ive ever listened to.The style is unique I thought.Its written as a letter describing the challenges ,adventures ,fears and lessons.So many truly interesting surprises.Twice I said out loud,startling my cat ,OMG! I was that surprised by an event or unforseen tidbit of information.There is a good ending,but also and ending that would allow for subsequent books.Please please C A Fletcher, tell us there is more coming and that you will again do the narration!

Utterly captivating
I've listened to this book 3 times now. THREE Times! I almost know the story by heart now, but every listen only brings me more pleasure. The story is so excellent - a kind of pandemic story but NOT about zombies and our main character is genuinely honest and innocent to the ways of the world that adds a level of vulnerability to the story. And then the animals... the dogs alone had me glued to my headphones.
If you want an adventure story with tension, intelligence and heart soaring action then this book is for you! And I'll probably listen to it again in a couple of years.
