The world didn't end with a bang. It ended with a screech.
They call them Cucas-Jurassic-sized, rat-like nightmares that emerged from the sewers to turn humanity into a global buffet. Now, the electricity is dead, the law is a memory, and the "civilized" world has regressed into savagery where only the ruthless survive.
Seventeen-year-old Claire Mellon is a ghost in her own life. From the master suite of a derelict luxury hotel on Azucena Island, she watches the shadows and cares for the only family she has left: her "Pet Zoo"-a pack of rescued dogs, a rebellious piggy, two sassy cats, and a pair of quiet rabbits.
She was a straight-A student with a perfectly mapped-out future. Now, her only goal is making it to dawn without breaking the S.H.U.T. Law-the strict survival protocol her brother Clay left behind. To the world, it's a tactical mandate. To Claire, it's a simpler rule: Shut up or die.
But the island holds secrets darker than the predators in the shadows. As the lines between ally and enemy blur, Claire is forced to face the one question she's been avoiding since the world went quiet:
Is she truly alone? And if she isn't... who exactly is watching?
From two-time Portuguese Wattys Award-winning author MD Gugik, ALONE? is a visceral, pulse-pounding survival thriller. Perfect for fans of I Am Legend and A Quiet Place.
