The Tube Riders: Underground

By: Chris Ward

Narrated by: Mark Capell

Beneath the dark streets of London they played a dangerous game with trains. Now it is their only chance for survival….

Britain in 2075 is a dangerous place. A man known only as the Governor rules the country with an iron hand, but within the towering perimeter walls of London Greater Urban Area anarchy spreads unchecked through the streets.

In the abandoned London Underground station of St. Cannerwells, a group of misfits calling themselves the Tube Riders seek to forget the chaos by playing a dangerous game with trains. Marta is their leader, a girl haunted by her brother's disappearance. Of the others, Paul lives only to protect his little brother, Owen, while Simon is trying to hold on to his relationship with Jess, daughter of a government official. Guarding them all is Switch, a man with a flickering eye and a faster knife, who cares only about preserving the legacy of the Tube Riders. Together, they are family.

Everything changes the day they are attacked by a rival gang. While escaping, they witness an event that could bring war down on Mega Britain. Suddenly they are fleeing for their lives, pursued not only by their rivals, but by the brutal Department of Civil Affairs, government killing machines known as Huntsmen, and finally by the inhuman Governor himself.

Lots of action

The Tube Riders Underground is an action-packed read set in 2075 Britain. When a group of misfits known as the Tube Riders witness something that could potentially bring war to Mega Britain, they find themselves on the run from the government killing machines known as the Huntsmen. This is a fairly long read but the action and adventure kept me going. Great world building. Recommend. Great narration.

Well narrated

I received this audio book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I really enjoyed this book, I thought that the character development, was overall done very well, not just the main character but all of the characters.
You really get pulled into the feeling of fear and anxiety with them. I'm ready to
Dive into the rest of the series.

I thought that the narration was well done, the speed and actually make you feel for the characters. I am hoping that the rest of the audiobooks in this series are narrated by him as well.

A great post apocalyptic world

This was a great post apocalyptic world novel, that kept me very engaged and excited to see what would happen next! I really liked the political aspects of the book, and how the author incorporated such a fun story intertwined with some deep messages illustrated by a totaliterian system. A great listen! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

a story that will sucks you in

this story started slow and I almost stopped listening but then it got really going and became a great story. I look forward to the next book.

A wild ride!

This book was slow to start for me but once it got going it was so good! Fast paced, good characters, excellent world building. Te author held nothing back and it was great! The narration took me a bit getting used to because of the accent but was great once I got used to it. My only issue with the narration was sometimes there was not a long enough pause between story changes and I would be confused for a bit, feeling like i missed something. Overall, I highly recommend it! I received a free copy for review.
