About this audiobook
It has been two weeks, and now Ruby is totally alone. People weren't prepared for the rain, got caught out in it, didn't realise that you couldn't drink water from the taps either. Even a drip of rain would infect your blood, and eat you from the inside out. Ruby sets off on a journey that will take her the length of the country – surviving in the only way she knows how.
