Drone
by Dan Howarth
ONCE YOU HEAR IT…
Gallagher’s life on the island should be idyllic. Yet his scenic, remote farm turns a meagre profit and provides little distraction from his vices.
When a strange noise infects the island’s inhabitants, Gallagher’s rural life is infiltrated by tension and unease. His neighbours become unpredictable and dangerous, threatening the fabric of island life beyond anything Gallagher has ever known.
As the community descends into fear and violence, Gallagher finds a way to silence the sound, but is this slice of peace worth the terrible cost?

"This novel takes place at a furious pace across a nightmare weekend, and I loved every desperate second of it."

Possibly Howarth's most tense story to date - medical anxiety, bubbling fury, and subtle socio-political commentary that will drop your jaw and keep it on the floor. Simply fantastic!

The subtle, subjective apocalypse of Drone is an eerily plausible nightmare that lingered in my mind and left my ears ringing.
