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.

'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

Enjoyable trashy techno thriller

This was my favourite kind of airport novel. Fun story that you can switch your brain off to. The narration was great and it was really well produced. I would also recommend John Marrs other novel The One.

What a great book!

Great characters, excellent narration and a brilliant storyline, I was gripped! Definitely worth the credit.

Bravo
