About this listen

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 undocumented 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

I find John’s books are unique stories, stretching what could one day be. The characters were interesting and the interlinking connections complex.

Some people said they couldn’t keep the characters straight. There are about 5-6 pairs of characters- at first. Just know this and you’ll easily remember. After an hour it all becomes clear- it’s another clever, intertwined futuristic, tech gone wrong story - playing on both our hopes for the future and our fear of the future. My only regret was the ending - I love a wound up end. This is not a dangler but somewhere in between dangling and resolution. Loved it.
