Lockdown 2020: A Conspiracy Thriller, Volume 1

By: Cole Strickland

Narrated by: Scott Gardner

When the world shut down, the real danger began.

London, March 2020. Streets silenced. Neighbors clapping from windows. A world paralyzed by fear.

But furloughed journalist Daniel Mercer notices what no one else dares to see: unmarked vans arriving at night. Men in masks. A scream drowned out by applause. And an apartment across the street where the lights never go out.

Drawn into a web of vanishing emails, manipulated news, and surveillance that knows his every move, Daniel uncovers Project Seraphim—an experiment so chilling it was hidden in plain sight.

As trust collapses and the watchers close in, Daniel has one choice: expose the truth, or become its next subject.

Terrifyingly plausible. Relentlessly gripping. Perfect for fans of Dean Koontz, Michael Crichton, and Blake Crouch.

Would you have seen it—if it was right outside your window?

Exciting thriller!

The thing I really loved most about this book was how it was set during Covid times. It was not too long ago but I still tend to forget how crazy things were. When you combine that setting with thrilling action you get a great book.

Totally a thriller you want more of!

This book got my attention right from the start and kept it all the way through. Gripping! The narrator reads it in such a compelling way that he pulls you right into the feeling of the fear and the chaos that the main character is going through, felt like I was in the story with him.
