[Human Zoo 04] • The Ruin Nation

The Refuge. The great bastion of the North. A place of summer festivities, music and free trade, where dreams are built and realised. A place of hope. But things are not all as they seem. Some of the residents are beginning to fall sick, and the bodies keep disappearing. A strange cult known locally as ‘the Church of Ruin’ has been clearing up the streets and taking people in; those men not of sound mind—the deranged and the crazy. And all the while, an ancient evil is lurking in the tunnels beneath the streets, growing in size and in number with every passing day.

Doyle, detached and depressed, has not been seen since they arrived. Will Juliana persuade Tanner to help her travel into the dark underbelly of the city to find him? Along the way, will they finally find something worth fighting for, and make a stand? Will John, accompanied by his new friend Becca, finally discover what happened to Ryan? And, have the horrors that they witnessed in the far north, followed them down as far as the Refuge?

The Ruin Nation is a dark, post-apocalyptic horror tale set in the decrepit ruins of the former United Kingdom. It is the fourth and final book in the Human Zoo series.
