There Falls No Shadow is the first book in the Shadows series. Originally inspired by the 1970s television series Survivors, these books share the same concept of following the lives of the survivors of a global pandemic but in this case with totally different characters, locations, and storylines, and a 21st century setting. TFNS deals with the first year after the pandemic. It has been described as 'darker' than Survivors and filled with the realism that can only come from the first-hand knowledge, and sometimes horrifying experiences, that have been an inevitable part of the work and life of this author.
