Lebbon returns to horror, and the end of the world - two themes which made his name several years ago - and produces this lovely, poetic story about memory, real ale, and salvation. Six months after plagues claim most of the human race, a handful of survivors must leave the temporary sanctuary the found for themselves, and race across country to Bar None, the last bar on earth. There's plenty of mystery in the book, as nature surges up and changes around the harried gang, and splashes of mournful horror abound. It's also a fast read, finished in three hours and perfect at that length. There is power in memory, and you'll live some of yours as you read the book.
