About this listen

An everyman is targeted for death by a serial killer in this searing high-concept novel that looks at the way that we now live. A twisting, dangerous journey through a digital underworld, it heralds Adam Hamdy as an outstanding new talent. For fans of I Am Pilgrim and John Grisham.

You wake. Confused. Disorientated. A noose is round your neck. You are bound, standing on a chair. All you can focus on is the man in the mask tightening the rope. You are about to die.

John Wallace has no idea why he has been targeted. No idea who his attacker is. No idea how he will prevent the inevitable. Then the pendulum of fate swings in his favour. He has one chance to escape, find the truth and halt his destruction. The momentum is in his favour for now. But with a killer on his tail, everything can change with one swing of this deadly pendulum....

Targeted for death. Then fate intervenes. You have one chance. Run.

Critic reviews

"I read Pendulum in one gloriously suspenseful weekend. Definitely one of the best thrillers of the year." (James Patterson)

Stretched my suspension of disbelief in places, but I wanted to know what happened, so a page turner.

Bit contrived in places but enjoyable

Although I found this hard at the beginning thinking it wasn’t for me the storyline gripped me. The detail in which Adam Hamdy writes is amazing and you can visualise every kick, punch and hanging and almost feel it. The reason for Max Burns murder spree is so realistic and you can almost understand the reason why although not an excuse. Brilliant book one onto Book 2

Hooked to the end

This was a captivating listen. Through many twists and turns the plot unfurls into the final crescendo..... but was there a second man????

Great story, need the sequel

At times a never ending enduring story of what is a story of what seems like an innocent situation.

I enjoyed the book. I actually usually like unabridged long books... I read previous reviews that say the story is far fetched... it is, however, isn’t that one of the reasons why we delve into books - it would be a sad world if we didn’t read Superman because man cannot fly. However, for me the story for me did go on & I lost interest towards the end.

Good... but went on too long
