Publisher's Summary

Zero History - a gripping technothriller from William Gibson, the best-selling author of Neuromancer.

Hubertus Bigend, the Machiavellian head of global ad-agency Blue Ant, wants ex-musician Hollis Henry to uncover the maker of a secret, obscurely fashionable denim called 'The Gabriel Hounds'. Hollis knows nothing about fashion - which, curiously, is why Bigend hired her. Soon, though, it's clear that Bigend's interest in underground labels might have sinister applications. Powerful parties, who'll do anything to get into this territory, are showing their hand. And Hollis, as Bigend's representative, is about to find herself in the crossfire. Set among London's dark and tangled streets, Zero History is a brilliant thriller about the hidden webs and patterns that underlie the new now.

Pure enjoyment

Thoroughly enjoyable story and well narrated. I particularly enjoyed the attempt at an Irish accent. Quirky as only Mr Gibson can - guess I’m a sucker for his writing.

A good story but a slow burn

A good story and a enjoyable end to the trilogy. Gibson's pros can be a little disorienting in audio narration, but once you get in sync with it, it's a very smooth ride from start to finish. Towards the end of this particular recording, there are a few issues with volume levelling and repeated lines of narration. Just a few, but hopefully it can be repaired by the publisher.
