These Final Hours (Zak Hilditch, 2013)

An asteroid has hit the Atlantic, setting off a creeping global firestorm that is due to reach Australia in twelve hours, and society falls to pieces at a rate unprecedented even in the worst excessive apocalypse porn. Because apocalypse porn is what this is; easy to write and generate ready-made human tragedy from, even though it's elevated to some extent by its poignant tone and a superior performance from the asshole trying to make good in his final moments by taking a girl looking for her father under his wing and rejecting the rampant hedonism that he sought to exit the world with.
