About this listen
2010. The end of the world has begun, but no one is paying attention. People are unaware of the breaking pandemic, code name, The Epilogue Event.
Accidentally finding himself at center stage, an unlikely and unwilling hero Peter Finch, must, if he is to survive, awaken powers he has been trying to forget for over thirty years. And time is not on his side. A mysterious Artificial Intelligence, the cause of the plague, is slowly gaining control over everyone Peter loves and everything he values.
On the streets of West London, the most powerful slave of a New Order, Dr Gordon Langley, is projecting a terrifying message. Unless Peter, aided by a band of misfits and criminals, can confront Langley, and his accomplices at a research facility near Norwich, and discover the meaning of the virus and reverse it, their world will be overcome and those permitted to survive will only endure in a new, previously unimaginable form of slavery.

"Dramatic, detailed, and romantic." —Megan Bradbury, author of Everyone Is Watching
It’s a pacy novel, easy to follow with a theme that’s not beyond the realms of possibility.
One of the few times that I have finished a book desperate to start the sequel!
Extremely enjoyable in a scary kind of way
Scarily prophetic

The plot is intriguing in so many levels, the first being the suspense that the author creates around a mysterious event that is supposed to unleash something terrible and unimaginable. The fact that every chapter is titled with a countdown to the event contributes to the building up and the reader’s curiosity only grows stronger as the date gets closer.
The second captivating aspect for me is the introduction of several characters seemingly not connected to each other, but that play an important part and end up crossing paths anyway, leaving the reader giddy with excitement as the omniscient external character.
Lastly, the way the author weaved in some sort of magic realism with the character of Peter Finch, ultimately the only person that is able to overturn whatever is happening, although after things have been left in the book, I honestly have my doubts.
The situation described in this book is bleak (and that’s a euphemism), but not unrealistic, especially seeing the direction the world has taken in the last few years, where AI is literally everywhere, and its use pushed in all aspects of our life. There is also a mystery underlying the plot which I hope will be the focus of the next book a bit more, as I need to know!
I have to mention how good the narration was. I realised only at the end that it was narrated by the writer and was impressed.
All in all, I highly recommend this book that will leave the reader both captivated and stunned.
Thanks to the author and Zooloo’s Book Tours for the opportunity to listen to it and this is my honest opinion.
Interesting, captivating and scary!

The author's interpretation of his creation is definite and hypnotic.
Looking forwards to the second instalment!
A dystopia so close to reality is frightening!
