Transition - Audio Book

Product Description

Details: A world that hangs suspended between triumph & catastrophe, between the dismantling of the Wall & the fall of the Twin Towers, frozen in the shadow of suicide terrorism & global financial collapse, such a world requires a firm hand & a guiding light. But does it need the Concern: an all-powerful organisation with a malevolent presiding genius, pervasive influence & numberless invisible operatives in possession of extraordinary powers? On the Concern's books are Temudjin Oh, an un-killable assassin who journeys between the peaks of Nepal, a version of Victorian London & the dark palaces of Venice; & a nameless, faceless torturer known only as the Philosopher. & then there's the renegade Mrs Mulverhill, who recruits rebels to her side; & Patient 8262, hiding out from a dirty past in a forgotten hospital ward. As these vivid, strange & sensuous worlds circle & collide, the implications of turning traitor to the Concern become horribly apparent, & an unstable universe is set on a dizzying course. Read by Peter Kenny. Ideal for: A fantastic listen for all. Running time approximately: 6 hours. 5 CDs abridged.
