Set in an alternative present, where the terrorism of 7/7 and 21/7 heralded further attacks on a regular basis, Kicking Asbestos follows a group of office workers to an isolated holiday camp for a team-building weekend. This trip is designed to increase cooperation and camaraderie between them, but goes horribly wrong when outside events trap the colleagues inside the complex. Soon the veneer of civilisation begins to fall away, with men and women lapsing into unchecked hedonism and criminal acts, while all the time a larger question lurks in the background: Who is really manipulating these people, and to what end? A gripping and fast-paced conspiracy thriller, Kicking Asbestos is both a thought-provoking page-turner and a Lord of the Flies for the corporate era.
