About this series
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.'

- Procreation: Evolution's Path, #3

Whoever controls these men controls the future of the world. After the virus, men are rare. Fertile males are even rarer. They have to be protected and milked of their semen if humankind is to survive. In this female-dominated world all but a handful of the viable males are in England, kept in a luxurious, heavily-guarded ex-SAS compound, prisoners of their own fecundity. They are serviced by 'milkmaids', whose function is to secure their precious semen, which has become prime international currency. Colloquially known as 'The Milking Shed', the very existence of this facility is a source of festering international envy. With the threat of functional extinction looming, England's possession of these valuable males is increasingly in jeopardy as resentment and the rising level of risk stirs up the rivalry of old enemies America and Russia. They both have the military might to simply take what they want. All that stops them is a nerve-jangling nuclear stand-off. After a winterless European winter, a blistering hot summer is forecast. And, on both sides of the Atlantic, heat fuels the social and political passion for procreation. As England's weak defences start to buckle, society fragments and its leaders begin to lose control. In this dangerously fractured world can Fleur Nichols, thrust into an unwanted leadership role, put aside the agony of her son's abduction and save her country from annexation as the major powers jostle for dominance? Or has everything gone beyond the point of no return? A mother's love is a ferocious weapon but the odds are stacked heavily against her. Buy this exciting techno-thriller to discover what the future may hold for mankind. Perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, Margaret Atwood and Michael Crichton.
