About this listen

When everyone on the planet suddenly freezes in place a single artificial intelligence threatens the survival of humanity.

From bestselling author R. R. Haywood comes a heart-pounding sci-fi adventure about a group of survivors fighting to take down the all-powerful DELIO - the world’s first fully sentient AI.

When a mysterious event leaves nearly every human being on the planet frozen and unaware, a desperate few will do whatever it takes to prevent the AI from controlling the fate of humanity.

In New York, one of DELIO’s creators joins forces with a washed-up suicidal detective and a young film maker with a dark past, while in London convicted drug dealer Alfie is saved by an abused young woman trafficked into London – together, only they can stop DELIO.

But can they do it before it’s too late?

This book contains adult language and graphic scenes which some listeners may find distressing.

This started out as an interesting listen, but I did fear that I had heard,watched, and read it all before. However I was very wrong great story, very real characters very well read. Takes the usual Holywood tropes and grounds them in realism so they become a new story that you just can't stop listening to.

The fact that this was delayed so long by publishers that didn't have a clue until the author regained the rights makes it all the more surprising!
