With most of the world’s population now wiped out, the
surviving pupils of St Mark’s School for Boys and Girls must defend themselves
against cannibalistic gangs, religious fanatics, a bullying prefect with a
taste for crucifixion, and even the remnants of the US Army.
Mixing Lord of the Flies with The Hunger Games, School’s Out
Forever is the latest omnibus from The Afterblight Chronicles. Scott K.
Andrews’ St Mark’s Trilogy books are a visceral, terrifying trio of stories
that brings a new twist to the post-apocalyptic dystopia – all viewed through
the eyes of children.
With the first in the series already optioned for a movie
with Multistory Films, this new omnibus collects the complete trilogy and is
packed with strong characters, action, and a truly killer concept.
“Youthful idealism
conflicts with jaded experience, and the characters are frequently forced to
balance ruthless efficiency with utopian optimism… A lot of provocative
discussion sneaks in under the cover of machine gun fire.”
– Pornokitsch on
Kitchsie Award Finalist Children’s
Crusade

I am looking forward to this omnibus, because I did like the series quite a bit. Not only that, but the cover artwork is fabulous, I absolutely love it :)
A movie or a series of movies based on Scott Andrews' series would be very interesting to see. I hope it would be made.
Definitely a possibility, then. There's many a slip 'twixt dress and drawers, but fingers crossed and all that.
