The Wipe - Paperback

by Nik Abnett (Author)

Dharma Tuke inhabits a near future where society has been radically reshaped following the Deluge - a worldwide pandemic - where people are accustomed to walking through chemical Wipes when entering a building or even a different room, and where the role of family has been marginalised, familial ties discouraged under the 'new normal'.

But Dharma is curious, and sets about quietly researching her past, tracing her recent ancestry in hope of discovering living relatives, and discovering what life was like both before and during the Deluge. What she unwittingly uncovers will have far reaching repercussions both for herself and for the whole of society.

In The Wipe, Nik Abnett has produced a narrative that is sometimes touching, sometimes harrowing, but always fascinating; a tale of determination and perseverance against the odds and, ultimately, a story about the importance of family, friendship, and love.
