I first read any of [author:Simon Haynes|541847]' books during the summer of 2018, when I saw [book:Hal Spacejock 1: A robot named Clunk|12381591] on offer via (I believe) a popular social-media platform.

While I thought that tat particular story was all right, it wasn't enough to make me want to go buy any more of his works. Later that same year, I then saw another Kindle deal on the first three of his Hal Spacejock books and, as I was looking for something to read, thought I would pick those up. Of those three, I felt it was easy to see that they were getting better (with the second - [book:Hal Spacejock 2: Second Course|1096672] - being the best).

Fast forward to early 2019, and I was again looking for something new to read. And, again, I saw an offer on one of his other books: this time, on the first of the newer Harriet Walsh 'Peace Force' series. Which, I have to say, I found to be better than any of the Hal Spacejock books I've read so far - it is true what the say, after all, that practice makes perfect! Well, I wouldn't go so far as perfect, but - I felt - there is a definite upswing in quality here.

What would it be like if the whole of the UKs road networks operated on electric, driverless cars? What would happen if those driverless cars, operated by a computer programme, we’re hacked in to by a person who seemed bent on the destruction of those inside them? Well, John Marrs asks (and answers) that exact question in this book.
Eight people get in to their cars one morning, thinking they’re going to the destinations that they’ve programmed in, only to discover that they no longer have any control over their cars. In fact, they’re on a crash course with one another, and only one person will survive. That person will be chosen by the public, who are all seeing what’s happening in real time on social media and news outlets. That was actually the part that terrified me the most - the fact that the public was in charge of their lives!
This was a real roller coaster ride, it was so exciting! If I hadn’t have been reading it on The Pigeonhole, I would’ve read it in one sitting (I’d highly recommend doing that, by the way!). I must have changed my mind about the characters at least half a dozen times, and the ending really was just right!
