The Carrier
When a devastating infection spreads across the entire world, causing chaos and collapsing civilisation as we know it, the only safe place is in the air. A cabin crew escapes on a damaged 747 bound for Greenland but not all the passengers are as healthy as they seem... When the plane is sabotaged, the rag tag group of survivors are forced to land in an England tearing itself apart and ravaged by disease. The crew are faced with impossible life or death decisions which force them to confront their past, face their fears and fight for their very survival.
Wren Boys
In his sermon on St. Stephen’s Day, a priest recalls the now-outdated wren hunting tradition. Boys on the cusp of manhood would be sent out to kill a wren and, later, the parish would gather for the burial of the bird. The tradition symbolized the burial of the past: promising a fresh start in the new year. It was a cruel tradition, Father Conor concludes, and he does not legitimize cruelty. Later that day, Conor drives his nephew to prison to visit a battle-worn inmate.
Outpost 11
Set in an alternative past where steam power still rules the world, Outpost 11 is the story of three soldiers manning a remote listening post in the Arctic Circle. One day the warning light goes off unexpectedly and their world is plunged in to chaos.
