About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Eight self-drive cars set on a collision course. Who lives, who dies? You decide.


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.

The Black Mirror-esque thriller from the author of the million-copy international bestseller THE ONE.

'A 1970s disaster movie by way of Black Mirror, with a dash of Michael Crichton ... a sleek, exhilarating ride' - Financial Times

'With some real jaw dropping moments, it was an edge of your seat read that even surpassed The One' - Claire Allan, bestselling author Her Name Was Rose

'Full of twists, vividly drawn characters you'll love or love to loathe, and pacy action...it's a hell of a ride' - SFX

'Marrs is brilliant at twists and for the addicts of adrenaline-fuelled twisty rides, this book really delivers the goods' - Peter James, UK No. 1 bestselling author

Intriguing book and it continues to intrigue all the way through.
I struggled initially as I didn't like any of the characters and by the end of the book I still didn't like them but i didn't feel bored at any point.

Another banger by John Marrs, he is fast becoming one of my new favourite authors. It's like Black Mirror but with more back story and follow through. It would be easy to get swept away with the hype of driver less cars without thinking about how they could be used and abused but this book definitely makes you think. I highly recommend this book and the narration was good although I dislike the audio play feel to it sometimes.

Another banger!

I was really unsure if I would like this book, but it's captivating!!
I won't spoil the story line, but would highly recommend this one! Twists, turns, nail biting suspense and a growing sense of horror. Think Animal Farm, 1984, combined with a society that is tech savvy, needy and narcissistic. Narration Perfect.

What a crazy book!
