A gripping and powerfully relevant thriller set in a reimagined London where drone surveillance is the norm. We See Everything, from internationally bestselling author William Sutcliffe, simmers with tension and emotion.

Lex lives on The Strip - the overcrowded, closed-off, bombed-out shell of London. He's used to the watchful enemy drones that buzz in the air above him.

Alan's talent as a gamer has landed him the job of his dreams. At a military base in a secret location, he is about to start work as a drone pilot.

These two young men will never meet, but their lives are destined to collide. Because Alan has just been assigned a high-profile target. Alan knows him only as #K622. But Lex calls him Dad.

Recensione:

I read We See Everything in my usual places, the buses and tunnels of London. It was compelling and terrifying, bringing the horror of bombardment to the streets I was travelling through (and under). This is a wonderful book - it humanises a battle that so many of us ignore and shook me into fearing about where it is all heading. (Patrice Lawrence, author of Orangeboy - We See Everything)

Powerful, fast-moving ... A bleak, compelling, thought-provoking thriller (Metro - We See Everything)

Chillingly authentic ... a taut thriller (Irish Times - We See Everything)

Ambitious and assured, this keenly plotted thriller also probes deep into the human heart (LoveReadingForKids - We See Everything)

Fast-moving and brave, with lots and lots of heart. (Ahdaf Soueif - We See Everything)

A remarkable book, big-hearted, brave and compellingly written. Like all the best writing, it shifts perceptions (Books For Keeps - We See Everything)

I read We See Everything in three sittings and was gripped throughout, held back tears throughout. The ending is both incredibly moving and politically so smart. This is a really clear-eyed, tightly crafted book and I'm so pleased to have read it. And even more pleased that it will soon be out there in the world. (Omar Robert Hamilton, author of The City Always Wins - We See Everything)

A cracking tale of love, drones and assassinations in north London - gripping and terrifying, a glimpse into our world that lies ahead . (Philippe Sands, author of East West Street - We See Everything)

We See Everything is terribly moving. It brings the inhumanity and evil of drone warfare into focus, and is bound to shock all who read it into realizing what is taking place not only in the Gaza Strip but elsewhere in the world as well. The book reads like a thriller. I could not stop reading. Books like this serve the cause of peace and make clear the inhumanity of this most modern phase of warfare. It is a superb book. I hope it gets the attention it well deserves. (Raja Shehadeh - We See Everything)

As beautifully written as it is chilling ... gripping and important. (Jill Murphy, The Bookbag - We See Everything)
