New fiction: The Empathy Problem

Cold and calculating, Gabriel Vaughn has, in his own words, lived his whole life โ€˜putting my interests ahead of every other person on the planetโ€™.

That is until he is diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour, which alters the way he feels about everything.

Extenceโ€™s tale of a life-changing transformation is unusual; a gripping look at an unlikeable character who swaps insensitivity for soulfulness.

The Empathy Problem by Gavin Extence (Hodder & Stoughton, ยฃ16.99) is out now.
