Science Fiction

Read a book years ago which I'd like to find..as much as I recall is the sea disappeared and a man,the main character, walks from one of the Channel Islands to England..not much to go on but if anyone has any ideas??

John christopher's "a wrinkle in the skin" about earth quakes and the channel gets drained

he did 3 other good global disaster books

The death of grass - global famine
Empty World - a plague wipes out 99% of the population
The world in Winter - Ice Age

Also I recommend "King Blood" by Simon Clark which was that author's homage to wrinkle in the skin

File Cutter, when I read the question I was thinking it could be a John Christopher book although I havent read that particular one. I read the Death of Grass when I was 14 and it scared the pants off me. I re-read it about 2 years ago and while I appreciate that it was written in the 50's, it still holds true today and still scared the pants of me!

I've read loads of post apocalyptic fiction books - if you enjoyed
"the death of grass" you will probably also like "famine" by Graham Masterton - similar premise but by a horror writer.
