About this listen

A clone has been the victim of a savage killing. The investigation may uncover a threat to humanity's very existence. Great North Road is a standalone adventure from science fiction star Peter F. Hamilton, the author of The Night's Dawn trilogy.

For fans of Philip K. Dick and Kim Stanley Robinson.

In Newcastle, AD 2142, Detective Sidney Hurst attends a brutal murder scene. The victim is one of the wealthy North family’s clones, but the most disturbing aspect is how he died. Twenty years ago, a North clone billionaire and his household were slaughtered in the exact same manner, on the tropical planet of St Libra. The only member of the household left alive, Angela Tramelo, received the blame. Was Angela wrongly convicted back then? She’d never wavered under interrogation – claiming she alone survived an alien attack.

With St Libran bio-fuel now powering Earth's economy, investigating this alien threat becomes top priority. A vast expedition is mounted via the planet’s Newcastle gateway – including Angela Tramelo, grudgingly released from prison. But the expedition is cut off, deep within St Libra's rainforests. Then the bloodshed begins . . .

Do not be put off by the fact that Audible have decided to split this book into two seperate, CHARGEABLE parts. The fact is this book is massive, and another Author may have decided to make it into a trilogy which would have required three credits!. From the moment Toby Longworth (favourite narrator) starts speaking, the characters will have you guessing as to the truth behind their starting stories. No one is as they seem and you will build a massive amount of information on each as the books progress changing each from hero to villan and back again. The physics of this future world are eminently believable and well thought through, and merge seamlessly into the story. I was amazed as the intertwining threads of several characters combined towards the end bringing almost all loose ends together in a brilliant conclusion, one that didn't rely on a final plot twist, but revealing what was there all along throughout the disparate storylines. Excellent
