Terry's an ordinary bloke in a dystopian world; like all other ordinary people, he has been saddled with crippling debts from birth. He works in Re-Locations and his job is to send other ordinary people, when unable to pay those debts, to sink estates north of the M4.He gives no thought to what will happen to them once there; although some part of him knows they'll be forced to eke out a brutal existence, far from family and friends, thrown away by society and left to rot.That is until, one day, he is late for work once too often and is sacked. Immediately all his lifelong debts become payable and, unable to discharge them, he is himself relocated, condemned to spend the rest of his days in a 'Boro sink. When he arrives, he is housed in a run down flat and assigned to sanitation duties. Unwittingly he attracts the attention of the power structure within the estate and soon finds himself enmeshed in violent intrigue.But Terry is not all he seems. Why is he there? Who does he really work for?… (más)

What sounded like an interesting dystopian take on modern day politics in the blurb became 300 pages of testosterone-fuelled drivel on the page. Unless you like ranting about the 1%, or the ultra rich versus the plebs, and can't get to a pub, don't bother with this one, even if the Kindle version is going dirt cheap. Unconvincing, Hollywood-esque dialogue, too many (male) characters with names like Eric, Terry and Donald - I swear the only female character is a love interest who is actually sent to make the tea at one point - and more violence than plot. I can't tell if the author was blowing off steam about the current political climate or imagining a Hollywood blockbuster, but he fails on both counts. Dreadful. ( )
