Really loved the premise of the self driving cars. The first 75% of the book had me on the edge of my seat! I feel like the end was a little thin though but still a very enjoyable read!

You have mere minutes to decide who lives or dies based on the face you see on a video screen and the few words you're allowed to exchange. Social media users are clamoring to give their opinions. Is the government involved? Who is in control? Take a ride in a self-driving car through a book that will have you eagerly turning the pages and questioning the security of your own secrets and your privacy. Is it the future, or is it already here? You decide. Author John Marrs gives us much to think about and discuss. You'll be telling others about this book.

The Passengers by John Marrs. Since I have a mistrust of cruise control and the on star lady is downright creepy, not to mention the invasiveness of satellite tracking, etc; the premise of the book was nightmare territory for me. But what a story.......the ultimate action packed political, technological thriller with many twists and turns and a genuine "I didn't see that coming" ending. The characters were all well presented and totally reliable even if they were ultimately vile. It was hard to like most of the characters; the only one totally innocent was Oscar unless.....he had hidden motives the Hacker couldn't tap into . Thoroughly enjoyable and "unputdownable". This is my third book by Mr. Marrs and he has really outdone himself with THE PASSENGERS. Highly recommended.

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.
