Story
Every modern city has one week’s worth of food to feed itself. Then it will collapse. Cut off the resources to New York, Sydney, or even a mid-size metropolis, and millions will soon starve. In Zero Day Code we see those immense and open, hyper-complex, networked supercities of the new millennium die. And in the last moments we see their vengeance take form as all the best and worst traits of humanity bubble to the surface.

Story
From Australia's master storyteller comes an endearing and engaging novella about a journey as unexpected, painful, intriguing and character-filled as life itself. A cruise was the promise. To cruise away from their troubles. To cruise towards the place where they first met, on the banks of the Thames. A cruise to dwell in their memories together and plan their next chapter. Paddy and Jenny Davern have had a long and happy marriage together in Sydney. Together they embark on a cruise to London, for the last leisurely journey in each other's company.

Story
Every object has a ghost. There is a small yellow backpack - half unzipped, mouth yawning to the pavement, contents strewn around it (a banana, an exercise book, a pair of scissors) - abandoned on a suburban footpath. Ten feet away, the rubber stamp of tyres, resisting clamped brakes, mount the curb and cut across the path. The tracks come to an end at a crippled stop sign. The street, a tree-lined suburban road dappled in late-afternoon sunlight, is calm. But anyone walking past can feel the ghosts: the prickle on the back of their necks that tells them something happened here.

But her fire and independence were exactly what she, and her King, needed. Because George has secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.

I hate this book. Here's why:
- By The Listener on 16-04-2021
Publisher's Summary
Why do some societies collapse into lawless savagery while others prove resilient and lasting?
On Zero Day of the first and last cyberwar in human history, the internet went dark, transport and power grids collapsed and cities began to starve, showing just how vulnerable the world could be to a targeted campaign of online sabotage. This final instalment of this prescient epic of civilisation collapse finds the small ragtag band of survivors come together to face a new, but eerily familiar threat - the rise of a fascist militia among the ruins of a failing country.
With American Kill Switch, John Birmingham’s End of Days trilogy comes to a high-octane, thrilling conclusion.

Final instalment for the end of the world
A well written, well narrated and very plausible story about the collapse of civilisation and the subsequent rise of a warlord militia.
And the fightback of course. Never forget about the fightback.

Tidy
I loved books 1 and 2 and my expectations for this final book may have been too high. It’s still enjoyable, just not as gripping as the first two. Everything is tidied up pretty well although I was a bit disappointed in some of the plot decisions. It may be more realistic to have some of the good guys die off but I would have been perfectly happy for them all coincidentally survive and thrive. Ah well.

Enjoyed the first two books very much but this third and presumably final instalment was the finest.
And long reign Rupert Degas. His narration is second to none.

It’s not often that a writer has me on the edge of my seat actually stressed and worried for the characters but this story did. The last couple of hours left me shattered ,elated and exhausted.
The combination of a rocking story line and the performance of the narrator was excellent.
