À propos de cet audio

You’re riding in your self-driving car when suddenly the doors lock, the route changes and you have lost all control. Then, a mysterious voice tells you, “You are going to die.”

Just as self-driving cars become the trusted, safer norm, eight people find themselves in this terrifying situation, including a faded TV star, a pregnant young woman, an abused wife fleeing her husband, an illegal immigrant, a husband and wife, and a suicidal man.

From cameras hidden in their cars, their panic is broadcast to millions of people around the world. But the public will show their true colors when they are asked, "Which of these people should we save? ...And who should we kill first?"

Read by Clare Corbett, Roy McMillan, Tom Bateman, Shaheen Khan, Kristin Atherton, and Patience Tomlinson

Ce que les critiques en disent

“A fast-paced thriller that offers a discourse on morality and ethics…Marrs excels at thrilling readers by creating a real sense of tension and delivering a believeable, harsh criticism of modern society through this dark and entertaining story. Driving…will never feel quite the same.” (LA Times)

"One can almost hear the Hollywood music in the background as the action unfolds; the plot twists are truly gripping…Summer blockbuster entertainment at its best. All that's missing is a slo-mo pre-disaster montage.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“I absolutely loved it. It sucked me right in and kept me gripped right until the end. With some real jaw dropping moments, it was an edge of your seat read.” (Claire Allen, USA Today best-selling author of Her Name is Rose)

Absolutely brilliant

As other reviewers have noted, the premise is interesting but the story lacks cohesion. Some of the time, it's kind of a romance novel and then it's a bit of a thriller; it's not set far enough into the future for it to be sci-fi and, although it's about a crime, it isn't crime fiction either. Similarly, the writing is weak in some sections and stronger in others. The biggest problem with The Passengers is that it never manages to quite be one thing or another. This is my first experience with John Marrs and reading it doesn't inspire me to want to try more of his work. I have the feeling that when next I see his name on a book, I'll just be, 'oh yeah, that author,' shrug, and move on.

A bit of this, a bit of that.

I really enjoyed listening to this. Having the diffrent voices or when it would be the news updates. I think that was very exciting for the story and made it more of a enjoyable experience for me. This is the first book I've read of John Marrs I could finally say. I will be reading more of his books in the near future! Thats forsure!But o.m.g this book and the diffrent types of characters. Like I wasnt sure how it was gunna go was everyone slowly gunna die or crash and burn. Like wow..then theres all the secrets ..lies..and such ..like hollaaayy molllaayy some of the shit these characters do. This is a must read ..I'd recommend listening to it though only because of the voices and sounds. But yes loved it..took me a day to finish it. Couldnt put it down.

my most favorite audible book I've listened too

A very entertaining listen. It's not a deep book and didn't change my life or anything but I really enjoyed it.

Great Plot. Interesting idea.

I love Marrs’ dystopian adjacent novels. This was so well performed too. The story is pretty dark at times but nothing unbearable.

Awesome

Had to listen to this after enjoying "The One" and I'm glad I did. it was a very similar style and it was fast, entertaining and sometimes thought provoking. A good, fun listen. Reccomend!
