After The Event: A near miss that is too close for comfort Kindle Edition

by Ted Bun (Author), Edward Yeoman (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 30 ratings
Huw Williams was a ten-year-old schoolboy when the scientists spot a deep-space object.

The race is on to find out more about this object, which is predicted to pass very close to the earth, Then there was an accident: two probes collided and change the future for mankind.

It turned that The Event was not a party!

OK, there is Sex (a bit), and Drugs and Rock (a huge one) but no Roll but;
After The Event ... it was more;
Death n Destruction
Plagues n pestilence
Terror n tears,
Psychosis n sympathy

An emotional rollercoaster!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was born in London, lived most of my life in the south of England. I only say that to excuse writing with a Sarff Lundin accint.

After a lifetime of not knowing what to do, RAF Officer, TV delivery driver, medical rep, trainer, computer guy … I'd even spent three summers running a naturist resort in Portugal. I decided to try something new and retired.

Lying by the pool in the South of France, a story started to take shape in my mind. Then the days got shorter, and the evenings longer, and I started to type. The string of random words turned into “The Uncovered Policeman.” Writing this story, I met the central characters, Bea being the most important. She nagged me into telling what turned into a series of 12 light, cosy romances with a cast of pleasant happy people, with quirky characters.

The New House trilogy, about a couple's first year of retirement in France, followed. “Almost a Year in Occitanie” - No, it is not autobiographical. OK, not very autobiographical.

More recently, Crooke and Loch launch their careers, solving mysteries and crimes in “The Summer of '71” and in a series of follow-up stories spanning the 1970s.

2020 marked the debut of another character … Melody. A lady of a certain age, a generous size and blinding intelligence, who first appears in "Problems and Passions."

The darkness of the great lockdown inspired some darker tales, for example "After The Event." As well as a few more escapist ones, such as "When The Music Stops" featuring the delightful Juliet Evans the singing solicitor

    5.0 out of 5 stars Thought-provoking Post-Apocalyptic Tale
    Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2022

    I generally don't care for post-apocalyptic fiction, but I'm a fan of the author and so gave this book a try and was pleasantly surprised by this thoroughly engaging vision of survival after a world shifting cataclysm. The word pleasantly applies to my level of surprise and not the story, which included many realistic descriptions, only a limited number of which were pleasing to behold. The author did a masterful job providing credible details of how the survivors handled the physical and technological challenges, but even more satisfying was his development of the human social and psychological interactions. This one will stay with me for a while.

    A pair of Welsh families lives are forever changed after a cataclysmic event.A more serious story than most of this author's stories,but still there are elements of happiness and one particular trait Ted is well known for in his books.Well written worth the read.Acautionary tale guaranteed to make you think about the condition of our current world and how we must change sooner rather than later.

    Lots to think about.

    Very well written! Lots of detail.

    This could well be a diary of a actual event.

    The characters have depth and are believable

    Mr. Bun goes in a different direction this time, and comes up with an excellent page-turner. WARNING - SPOILER: I liked the part where the religious nut gets what's coming to him.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another insightful tale, well told
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 22, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Not your usual post apocalyptical tale, but one of ingenious and inventive, caring survival, a family who become a community who become colonists of a world changed by a close encounter with a comet. The science is sound (as much as I can tell) with realistic scenarios of scavenging and adaptation to survive & thrive in the heights of God’s own country (Wales). Thought provoking, insightful comments on jealousies and community life. Heartwarming.
