Isles of Scilly (The Connected Dead #1)

They do not shamble.
They coordinate.
They hunt.

A revolutionary cancer cure promised miracles. Instead, it rewrote human DNA, creating the Connected, infected who move as one, adapting, learning, spreading. Within days, Britain fell silent.

Sarah escapes with her children to the Isles of Scilly, gambling that twenty-eight miles of cold Atlantic will keep them safe. But on an island, isolation cuts both ways. Supplies run low. Trust frays. And the Connected are changing, becoming faster, smarter, harder to stop.

As the fragile community begins to crack, survival demands impossible choices. How much of your humanity can you sacrifice before you become the thing you are running from?

A tense, atmospheric British survival thriller set on the edge of the Atlantic, perfect for fans of The Girl With All The Gifts and World War Z.

RC Ellis is the author of Cornwall, a British horror bestseller, and brings his signature blend of visceral tension, sharp wit, and deeply human characters to the Isles of Scilly.

"Dry wit, unsettling moments, and a surprisingly emotional core." - L V Weegan
