About this listen
This autumn, life is catching up with struggling novelist Thomas Quinn.
Five years ago, his sometimes friend Andrew Black wrote a single, million-copy-selling mystery novel and then disappeared. Now could it be that Quinn is being stalked by the hero of Black's book? His wife, Imogen, usually has the answers, but she's working on the other side of the world, and talking to her on webcam just isn't the same.
Quinn finds himself in a world that might well be coming apart at the seams. If he can find Black, he might start finding answers.
Maxwell's Demon forges an entirely new blend of mystery - somewhere between detective fiction, ghost story and philosophical quest. With the same white-knuckle thrills as Hall's first novel, The Raw Shark Texts, this new audiobook is also a freewheeling investigation into the magic power locked inside the alphabet, love through the looking glass, the bond between parents and children, and, at its heart, the quest for meaning in a world that, with each passing season, seems to become more chaotic and untidy.

Excellent narration and engaging story
I’m a huge Hall fan after the incredible Raw Shark texts, and had very high hopes for this. I was not disappointed, it was a gripping and entertaining story, the ending was perhaps a bit abstract for me. But the mixture of physics, theology and philosophy was great fun.
Piers Hampton’s read of Maxwells Demon was immense! Loved every moment, and I will be buying more audibles just for his acting in future.

Steven Hall is an exceptional writer
I loved the raw shark texts and was worried this wouldn’t match up. It is a work of art, an incredible example of storytelling and story craft. Do want to put any spoilers just read it let yourself get absorbed into his world.
