Who's In Control? Books 1 - 4
Four very different novels. One uniting theme. The most vital question in the modern world. Who Is Really In Control?
The Four very different strangers are trapped alive on a spiral staircase, 129 steps deep under the City of London. They have no food. There is no water. No-one even knows they're missing. As thirst, hunger and despair take over, personalities clash and their darkest secrets are exposed. Who will give up? Who will die? And who will fight to the very end?
Future A strange man offers Rosa Bodran a virtual reality shopping experience, guaranteeing it will be quicker, easier and cheaper than her usual family shop. But all is not as it seems. Futuristic shopping might not be the solution to Rosa's problems. It could put everything she cares for at risk.
The Illustrator's What is any parent’s greatest fear? Loving parents. A brand new baby girl. They should have been an ideal young family. It doesn’t always turn out that way. When Matt's daughter becomes seriously ill, the family embarks on a desperate mission to understand the condition and its treatment. But the parents have very different ideas about what will work, driving a gap between them so severe it could mean life or death for their daughter. Can Matt finally comes to terms with the unbearable his daughter or his wife?
The award winning social media thriller. It's 2030. A world of driverless electric cars, touchless screens and social media that knows what you want before you do. When jaded journalist Curtis Soren meets the new powerful boss of the government's mysterious Ministry for Society, he uncovers a top-secret organisation that puts him and his colleagues in danger. Soren is forced to take on Portico, the biggest social media organisation of all, in a desperate battle to expose the truth in an online world of fake news, censorship and social users addicted to their screens. Lose yourself in these four gripping page turners which will challenge how you think about the choices you make now and into the future, and what you might need to sacrifice to get what you want. Buy these four thrillers as a box set, and you're guaranteed a better price than buying them separately.

About the author
Gideon Burrows
33 books24 followersGideon Burrows is an award winning author of novels and non-fiction books that aim to make you uncomfortable, allow you recover, and then make you feel completely refreshed.
Or else guilty. Or exhilarated. Or maybe a combination of these things.
Like taking a cold shower.
His near future novels, including Future Shop and Portico, tackle the challenging world of the near future: how social media, the metaverse, virtual reality, multi-player games and more may be sending us to hell. You'll never let your kids on the internet again.
His contemporary novels, including The Illustrator's Daughter and The Spiral, are about families and individuals in difficult situations: whether facing brake-ups, illness, prejudice, mental health breakdown or domestic violence. Through challenging our fundamental believes and values, he aims to make every reader think about their own comfortable lives.
As G D Burrows, he writes action fiction about ninjas. Awesome ninjas, who wear cool ninja gowns, have high tech ninja weapons, and take on the bad guys with their super martial arts skills and techniques. Think James Bond or Jack Reacher – but in full ninja garb, and based in London's East End. That kind of thing.
Gideon is really interested in the future and new technology, as well as science and rationalism. He's written two non-fiction books on the metaverse, and three books on cancer, including This Book Won't Cure Your Cancer, challenging society's assumptions when it comes to the disease.
He trained as a journalist and spent 10 years writing for major UK newspapers and magazines, and then running a copywriting agency.
Gideon is married, lives in east London with three children, and hundreds of worms. He's a keen cyclist, a qualified cycle mechanic and his home office is Pret a Manger.
He loves travelling on trains, eating Indian and Chinese food, and might actually be a ninja at night.
Like everyone else in the world, he drinks lots of coffee and loves the smell of new, unsullied stationery.
Gideon loves giving stuff away.
