Survivors Series 09

The world has ended. The 'Death' pandemic crossed continents, sparing only a fraction of the global population. The survivors are now trying to pick up the pieces and rebuild society - to create a new future. But with no cities, no laws, no technology, everyone must start over. And the worst of human nature has survived along with the best... 9.1 The Farm by Jane Slavin After a short, sharp coup, power has shifted and a new order asserts control over the country. Meg Pritchard believes she is the leader who can draw together the threads of civilisation. With the men sent to war, Jenny must help the women of 'The Farm' see the truth behind their new society. 9.2 Hearts and Mines by Christopher Hatherall The Protectorate now holds resources once shared by the Federation.
