Welcome to the Apocalypse...on repeat

Welcome to the apocalypse. On repeat.

On any given day, millions of people are in London. Now they’ve gone. But they’re still hungry, and these dead don’t walk… they run.

At moonrise, London reboots: sirens, smoke, sprinting dead. Parkour-hardened survivor Zane survives by motion, flying from roof to roof, balcony to bus. He wakes every day beside his former friend, forcing a last-second swan dive off Tower Bridge for breakfast.

Death isn’t an exit; it’s a restart.

Zane hunts for the cause, a way out, five lifetimes of searching. His only clue, a flash across the financial district. Until one day, a bedsheet hanging from the Tower of London sends him to the Sky Garden to meet Nina. He measures days in rooftops and near-misses; she measures them in the things time refuses to delete. Together, they face a crumbling London, unravelling time, and intersecting only once every five days.

With Nina at his side, Zane will stop running and start fighting back, Even if it risks time itself.

CTRL-Z is a breathless and gory daily apocalypse with gallows humour and zombies.

Run. Reset. Repeat. Remember.

About the Author

Iain Benson
I'm a fifty-something UK-based author who writes different flavours of thrillers, from comedy to sci-fi and every blend in between (think of me like the syrups for your chai latte). I got into writing when the other alternatives for a midlife crisis looked too expensive. Little did I know. After being told by an agent they thought I had only one book in me, my stubborn streak is now into the twenties, rapidly heading towards thirty.
