Gutshot: The Catastrophe

by Patricia Loofbourrow

"...an apocalyptic survival story that moves with the speed of a raging river..."

This is how the world ends. For one man, this is how it begins.

Donald Kerston's life up to now could only be described as a nightmare. But what he wakes up to suddenly becomes much worse.

Struggling for his very survival, for the first time he finds friends and a future - only to be confronted with the one thing he didn't ever want to face.
