About this listen
The hugely anticipated brand-new Rivers of London novel....
Peter Grant is facing fatherhood and an uncertain future with equal amounts of panic and enthusiasm. Rather than sit around, he takes a job with émigré Silicon Valley tech genius Terrence Skinner's brand-new London start-up - the Serious Cybernetics Company.
Drawn into the orbit of Old Street's famous 'silicon roundabout', Peter must learn how to blend in with people who are both civilians and geekier than he is. Compared to his last job, Peter thinks it should be a doddle. But magic is not finished with Mama Grant's favourite son.
Because Terrence Skinner has a secret hidden in the bowels of the SCC. A technology that stretches back to Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage and forward to the future of artificial intelligence. A secret that is just as magical as it technological - and just as dangerous.

Another Winner
I’m loving the Rivers of London series. The story’s are interesting and fun with the right amount of fantasy. Kobna does a brilliant narration. Listen to the interview at the end of False Value with Ben and Kobna. Really interesting IMHO :-).
Hanging for the next installment now.

Awesome
Some parts seem slightly drier than the previous books i.e. less magic and whimsy. But overall very exciting, full of richness and character. Kobna is still the perfect narrator for this series and makes an excellent Peter Grant. His voice is a dream. Excited for the next book & Beverley’s twins! Have no clue how he’ll fit fighting magical crime around 2 newborns.
