Zero combat training. No interest in dying. Bad shoes. Leon Aronofsky picked the wrong night to pass out at the office.
Leon had always thought Hyperion was a strange place to work - even by the twisted standards of a London media agency. But nothing could have prepared him for the shocking discovery he makes when he stumbles into the hidden floors below the building. Or the dead bodies.
Alone in the dark, and trapped underground, Leon soon realises the agency is just a front for a secret technology project so out-of-this-world that people suddenly want to kill him - and not just the design team.
When a dying colleague convinces Leon and Izzy Jones - the ex-physicist turned tech whizz Leon had been trying (and failing) to impress all evening - to keep the secret safe, it hurls them into an underground world of covert organisations, paid assassins, and Silicon Valley billionaires.
Armed with little more than a brutal hangover and the vague assurances of Quinn - a shadowy American operative with questionable loyalties - can they find a way to stay alive? Who can they really trust? And how will they stop the secret from falling into the wrong hands... and still make it home in time for Friday night dinner?
If you like Blake Crouch and The X-Files, you're going to love Midnight Run - the first in the Midnight Series.
