Outpost by Adam Baker | Post-Apocalyptic Thriller | New Paperback

Somewhere in the Arctic, a small crew on a remote refinery platform sees the news feeds cut out one by one. Cities go dark. Governments fall silent. And out there in the ice, they realise nobody is coming for them.

Outpost by Adam Baker is a lean, atmospheric survival thriller that pins you to the page. Fifteen strangers, one iron platform surrounded by a frozen sea, and a world collapsing just out of sight. As the fuel dwindles, the temperature drops and something out on the ice starts moving closer, the crew has to decide who to trust and how far they're willing to go to stay alive.
