‘Dramatic, detailed, and romantic.’ Megan Bradbury, author of Everyone is Watching.
2010. The end of the world has begun, but no one is paying attention. People are unaware of the breaking pandemic, code name, The Epilogue Event.
Accidentally finding himself at centre stage, an unlikely and unwilling hero Peter Finch, must, if he is to survive, awaken powers he has been trying to forget for over thirty years. And time is not on his side. A mysterious Artificial Intelligence, the cause of the plague, is slowly gaining control over everyone Peter loves and everything he values.
On the streets of West London, the most powerful slave of a New Order, Dr Gordon Langley, is projecting a terrifying message. Unless Peter, aided by a band of misfits and criminals, can confront Langley, and his accomplices at a research facility near Norwich, and discover the meaning of the virus and reverse it, their world will be overcome and those permitted to survive will only endure in a new, previously unimaginable form of slavery.

What struck me most reading this AI apocalypse was not the all-too-prescient nature of the epilogue event itself, but the human element that strives against the stream. The evolution here is two-fold - both man and digital machine - which makes for a complex, engaging read.
