What to expect
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

Critics Review
User Reviews
After all, we already have self driving cars, yes we've all seen the guy reading a book as his car drives. People's addiction to social media, some can't go a day without posting on their apps.
To be honest, how long would it take for such a scenario to become reality?
If you are thinking of trying a book which isn't to your usual type, I recommend this one.
Also I particularly enjoyed this book being narrated by a cast rather than a single narrator.
