Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by Kristin Atherton, Roy McMillan, Clare Corbett, Tom Bateman, Patience Tomlinson & Shaheen Kahn.

From author of THE ONE - now a major Netflix series - and THE FAMILY EXPERIMENT!

Eight self-drive cars set on a collision course. Who lives, who dies? You decide.

A gripping page-turning thriller for fans of BLACK MIRROR from the bestselling author of THE ONE.

When someone hacks into the systems of eight self-driving cars, their passengers are set on a fatal collision course.

The passengers are: a TV star, a pregnant young woman, a disabled war hero, an abused wife fleeing her husband, an illegal immigrant, a husband and wife - and parents of two - who are travelling in separate vehicles and a suicidal man. Now the public have to judge who should survive but are the passengers all that they first seem?

'Provocative, terrifying and compulsive. Another savagely clever near future thriller' Cara Hunter, bestselling author of CLOSE TO HOME

'A 1970s disaster movie by way of Black Mirror, with a dash of Michael Crichton ... a sleek, exhilarating ride' Financial Times

"One of the most exciting, original thriller writers out there, I never miss one of his books." - Simon Kernick

Another excellent book from John Marrs

I’ve listened to all the author’s books on Audible and again I’ve listened to a cracker.

It’s an original story which kept me up all night and glued to the edge of my seat. It has more twists than a twisty thing more nasty characters than Eastenders, Coronation Street and Emerdale rolled into one. For a change our heroine has a backbone and not afraid to say how it is. The politicians are moustache swirling baddies but I enjoyed every single moment.

I’ve deducted one star for some intermittent annoying jingles peppered throughout.

The narration was excellent :) Mr Marrs isn’t writing quick enough for my liking so will wait quietly twiddling my thumbs till the next release on Audible.

Thriller or sci fi

My life has gone neglected whilst I binge this! I suggest you read to the one first as it tied in. Thriller with a good amount of technology, twists and morality

Entertaining

I liked the story, concept, characters, twists and the way Marrs tells it. Brilliant narration but annoying sound effects. Worth a listen.

I really didnt like how under developed the Somali immigrant was and what happened to her in the book and the coincidence that followed the hackers origin. Other then that this book is an enjoyable listen
