The cruel King Herod, his heart as cold as the marble floors of his palace, has already silenced one of Jesus's followers. Now, he has set his sights on Peter. Locked away in the deepest part of the prison, Peter is bound by heavy iron chains, with sixteen soldiers standing guard. The air is thick with the damp, musty smell of despair, and every clank of a soldier's armor echoes like a final countdown. There seems to be no way out.

Underground, we are at once isolated and connected. We avoid eye contact and conversation while our lives literally intersect with those of strangers. As we stand on the tube, it becomes possible to travel far further than expected - and this sense of possibility lies at the heart of this stunning collection. Twelve writers explore life on the London Underground through eleven short stories and one memoir, commissioned to mark the opening of the Elizabeth line in 2018.
