Description

The Vanishing Game pairs a down-on-his luck actor with a weather-battered Land Rover Defender on a seemingly innocuous courier job. But some things are too good to be true and this innocent journey quickly unfolds into a dangerous plot with a shadowy cast of characters.  With twists, turns and treachery, readers will be drawn into Boyd’s latest thrilling adventure.

  • Quick and fun

    Came here to download this version after reading the tumblr experience... Frankly, the online version is more rewarding with the narration and music and little clickable easter eggs like the hero's movie posters. But I wanted a keeper version. The hero is something else. How he manages is beyond me, but putting an actor in a film-like situation where he uses his film experience as the means to surviving is something I quite enjoyed. Overall, it's short and free and fun and something I'm looking forward to re-reading.
