Paperback. The city did not fall all at once.It emptied.When the world goes quiet, a small injured dog named Patch is left to navigate what remains.Patch is a haunting, intimate post-apocalyptic novel told entirely through the instincts, memories, and perceptions of a dog who does not understand what ended the world - only that it has. Hunger, silence, and danger shape his days as he moves through abandoned cities, deserts, and ruined places where humans once lived.Patch does not think in words the way people do. He remembers warmth. He knows fear. He listens for sounds that mean run - and for quieter ones that mean hope. Along the way, he encounters the remnants of a broken world: empty streets, strange predators, flickers of human presence, and the thin possibility that something gentle might still exist beyond the ruins.Written in spare, lyrical prose, Patch is a story of survival without sentimentality, resilience without speeches, and hope that never announces itself. It is not a zombie novel in the traditional sense, but a quiet examination of what it means to keep going when everything familiar is gone.This is a novel about endurance, memory, and the instinct to live - told from the ground level, where survival is measured one careful step at a time. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

The city did not fall all at once.
It emptied.
When the world goes quiet, a small injured dog named Patch is left to navigate what remains.
Patch is a haunting, intimate post-apocalyptic novel told entirely through the instincts, memories, and perceptions of a dog who does not understand what ended the world — only that it has. Hunger, silence, and danger shape his days as he moves through abandoned cities, deserts, and ruined places where humans once lived.
Patch does not think in words the way people do. He remembers warmth. He knows fear. He listens for sounds that mean run — and for quieter ones that mean hope. Along the way, he encounters the remnants of a broken world: empty streets, strange predators, flickers of human presence, and the thin possibility that something gentle might still exist beyond the ruins.
Written in spare, lyrical prose, Patch is a story of survival without sentimentality, resilience without speeches, and hope that never announces itself. It is not a zombie novel in the traditional sense, but a quiet examination of what it means to keep going when everything familiar is gone.
This is a novel about endurance, memory, and the instinct to live — told from the ground level, where survival is measured one careful step at a time.
