About this listen
A thrilling debut that has been likened to John le Carré and Raymond Chandler....
Paris, 2037. Alexandre Lamarque of the French external security service is hunting for eco-terrorists. Experience has taught him there is no one he can trust. Experience has taught him there is no one he can trust—not his secretive lover Mariam, not even his old mentor, Professor Fayard, the man at the center of the web. He is ready to give up. But he can’t.
In search of the truth, Alex must follow the trail through an ominous spiral of events, from a string of brutal child murders to a chaotic coup in North Africa. He rapidly finds himself in a heart-thumping race against chaos and destruction. He could be the world’s only hope of preventing The Coming Darkness....

Critic reviews
"Superb—there's an ominous drumbeat throughout, and pace and tension, and a subtle and scarily plausible dystopia—and above all there's main character Alex Lamarque, who could be one of the greats. Greg Mosse writes like John Le Carré's hip grandson.” (Lee Child)
"This is exactly the sort of big, meaty, ambitious thriller that the market needs. I haven’t read a book like this since I Am Pilgrim." (Anthony Horowitz)

An Instant Classic!
This is a fantastic book - fast, filled with action and suspense, and begging for a sequel. The blurb likens it to John le Carre and Raymond Chandler and that’s spot on. Greg Mosse has done an incredible job. And Gareth Armstrong is the perfect narrator. I didn’t want it to end! More please?

An idea squandered
I don't know how much Lee Child was paid to say that the writer was 'like John Le Carre's hip grandson' but it wasn't enough. And an indication that Lee Child has never possibly read John Le Carre.
The world in which the story takes place does have some promise, but it's undermined by characters that are wafer thin and inspire no emotional investment whatsoever.
The narrator is incredibly wooden and in the end I gave up an hour before the end without really feeling I'd lost out on anything of great note.
