The Sound of Tomorrow (Ebook)

He could hear it three days before it happened. Eli Navarro listens to the ground for a living. At a lonely research station in the Southern Uplands of Scotland, forty microphones buried deep in the hills record every sound in the glen, and it's his job to delete everything that isn't an earthquake. One Monday he finds a sound that shouldn't be there: a pane of glass breaking, twelve metres underground in an empty field. Three days later, the laboratory window blows in. The two recordings are identical. Then there are more. A train braking. A dog barking. A woman crying, whom the new caretaker recognises as herself. And then a bus, on ice, at eight in the morning, and a horn that won't stop. Eli knows the road. He knows the bus. He knows there are six children on it. He thinks he knows how to stop it.
