Invisible Armies by Jon Evans
In a world where companies are more powerful than governments and security cameras can track your every move, if you can manipulate the web you can change the world. You can also get away with murder over and over again . . . Danielle Leaf thought she was just doing an innocent errand to help out a friend. Then she was abducted in remote rural India. Her daring escape is only the beginning. Now she has been drawn into a war between anti-corporate activists and an international mining company that is poisoning thousands of Third World farmers. It is a dizzying world of desperate escapes and whirlwind romance on the Goa coast; bloody street battles in Paris; shadowy computer hackers and mysterious benefactors. Danielle is in love, vibrantly alive, and fighting for a better world. But then she crosses the steadily blurring line between right and wrong, and stumbles across an awful revelation. Soon she is running for her life. For both sides of this war are willing to kill for their cause and both sides hide terrible secrets . . .
Praise for Jon Evans:'THE BLOOD PRICE is knowledgeable about Balkan history, the current fragile peace maintained by NATO and the multi-billion-dollar international refugee-smuggling industryEvans can write, too.' - Washington PostYou're hooked. Evans contrives to slip the necessary specialist net-head detail into the plot without being boring or patronising. He can also pin down a character with a few details deftly brushed in. . . The characters are delightfully delineated by their speech patterns. . . beautifully controlled. . . Not the least satisfying aspect of this pacy thriller for the 21st century is the way things go on happening until the last page. - The Times on THE TRAIL OF THE DEAD'In this haunting, suspense debut, Evans takes the reader on a page-turning adventure' - Publishers Weekly on TRAIL OF THE DEAD'I was completely gripped. As the plot unfolded, I found myself constantly surprised. Jon Evans's plotting is excellent, and he has obviously travelled widely - all the details are clearly authentic and I found myself interested in the locations as much as the plot. The internet aspect of the story was intriguing, and at the end all the strands were tied up perfectly. I never wanted to put the book down.' - Emily Barr on TRAIL OF THE DEAD'TRAIL OF THE DEAD is engaging, disturbing, and relentless - an impressive debut nov
