A gripping, claustrophobic thriller set in a post-apocalyptic world, The Drift by C.J. Tudor is an intense survival story that keeps you guessing until the very end.
A deadly virus is threatening the population, and in the middle of a brutal snowstorm, three groups of strangers find themselves in terrifying situations. Hannah wakes up in the wreckage of a crashed coach bus, trapped inside with survivors and no way to escape. Meg regains consciousness in a cable car, suspended mid-air after a power failure, alongside people headed to a mysterious destination known only as The Retreat. Meanwhile, Carter, an employee at The Retreat, watches as the storm worsens, the power flickers, and the generators keeping them safe from whatever lurks outside begin to fail.
As the narrative unfolds, the tension builds, with each storyline weaving into an unexpected puzzle. The atmosphere is eerie, the stakes are high, and Tudor delivers a relentless pace filled with twists, paranoia, and survival horror.
The Drift is a perfect read for fans of dystopian thrillers and locked-room mysteries with a chilling, cinematic feel. If you enjoy apocalyptic fiction with an unpredictable, heart-racing plot, this book is a must-read.
