About this ebook

Evolution's Path.

This trilogy takes place in the near future, it isn't science fiction, it's 'faction', and all the more chilling because you won't find zombies here, or people suddenly endowed with super powers, just realistic characters struggling with the challenging events that overtake their lives.

Against a background of terrorist plots, political intrigue and espionage, the lives of three powerful women become inextricably entwined.


Fleur Nichols, an astute investigative journalist, Wenna Cavendish, a senior MI5 officer and Simone Gofre, a brilliant virologist, leave their marks on world events and a stunning revelation will change the course of human history forever.


Evolution's Path is a frightening look at the mechanics of a societal collapse and its aftermath.

Excerpts from customer reviews:

Killing tomorrow

 'A gripping scenario... a credit to a master story teller.'

'The multiple themes of this thriller, population control, germ warfare, investigative journalism, corporate greed, terrorism... with the tension and conspiracy to keep you engaged.'

'... the final chapter is chilling in its possibilities.'

'Hill is a talented writer who has the ability to create a completely believable and terrifying future scenario.'

'…this well-written book with its intriguingly woven plot…It seemed impossible that this cast of fascinating characters and their stories would all tie up neatly at the end, but they did, dramatically, and very satisfactorily.'

'Author Peter Hill is a visionary storyteller. ... and he isn't afraid to tackle ambitious themes here: feminism, globalisation, environmentalism.…a story so chilling in its realism, you won't soon forget it... It's a dystopian narrative that sears itself into your mind.'

The Ladies' Game

'Epic story telling; ...drawing the reader in and keeping the pages turning.'

'It has plenty of intrigue, fast paced action with the plot closely mirroring many of the contemporary issues being faced around the world today. It draws you further into the world of terror and espionage and the potential for dire consequences.'

'Fleur Nichols, is on the run, pursued by ruthless enemies even as the world around her falls apart in an escalating viral pandemic…

Once again, themes of feminism, globalisation, environmentalism take centre stage as Fleur fights not only to survive a tumultuous apocalypse, but to separate lies from truth. At stake is the fate of humanity...' 

Procreation

'A great conclusion to a fascinating trilogy. Well written, extremely thought provoking, and a thoroughly good read!'

   'The epic conclusion to blistering trilogy.

It's bold. It's scintillating. It's the brilliant culmination of everything that's come before.

Now that a viral pandemic has all but decimated the male gender worldwide, it's the women who have ascended to political supremacy. The social order, has been upended.

But all this just sets the stage for another catastrophic confrontation.

This is a techno-thriller completely unlike anything I've ever read. It's controversial. It's provocative. It's uncompromising.

If you're a looking for a post-apocalyptic story written with both emotional sensitivity and propulsive excitement, this is it. It's Tom Clancy meets Margaret Atwood

 I can't recommend this enough. It really is something else.'

Peter Hill

Peter Hill’s background is steeped in crime. He was a detective in the Metropolitan Police, London, serving in some of the toughest parts of that city. He also worked at New Scotland Yard in the Company Fraud Department and later the internationally recognised C1 department known as ‘The Murder Squad’. In the course of his investigations he travelled widely in Britain, Europe and South America. He left the force at the age of thirty-two, with the rank of Detective Inspector, to become a professional writer. Peter worked extensively in television for iconic British drama series such as ‘Callan’, ‘The Sweeney’, ‘Z Cars’, ‘Public Eye’, ‘The Bill’, ‘Special Branch’,and ‘New Scotland Yard’, He has written six novels, which were all published worldwide by major publishing houses. These books are all British police detective thrillers set in various locations in Britain and The Hunters, The Liars, The Enthusiast and The Savages in the ‘Staunton and Wyndsor’ series and The Fanatics and The Washermen in the ‘Commander Allan Dice’ books are now available as eBooks. These books are all stand-alone stories, but with the same major protagonists. Under the pen name of John Eyers he was commissioned to write Survivors: Genesis of a Hero, based on the famous ‘Survivors’ TV series,and Special Branch: In at the Kill, a spin-off from the ‘Special Branch’ TV series. These are also now available as eBooks. Although based on the characters in the two TV series both of these books are stand-alone stories.    Peter has recently returned to novel writing but in a different genre and ‘Evolution’s Path’ is series of near-and far-future stories, of which Killing Tomorrow now available as an eBook, is the first. The second in the series, The Ladies’ Game, and the third, Procreation, have recently been published as eBooks. They are also available as paperbacks.
