In the future, life is cheap and death is profit. Anthony Cresswell has just been promoted.
After ten years coasting through life as a junior accountant, he is finally moving up in the world...all the way to the Subtractions department.
Unfortunately, thanks to extreme government measures taken to curb the ever-rising population levels, it is the Subtractions department’s job to subtract people rather than figures; all of societies underachievers are singled out, and forcibly reminded that their great sacrifice will make room for others.
For his first assignment Anthony Cresswell is given the task of subtracting himself. Needless to say, he’s not dead keen.
He goes on the run, pursued by every gun-toting and spoon-hurling government assassin in the city, with a secret buried deep in his mind that could either save or destroy mankind.
He just needs to survive long enough to find out what it is...
Life Subtracted is a fast-paced darkly humorous science fiction adventure, perfect for fans of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and Good Omens.
