Simon Morden scored hits with the first two volumes of his acclaimed Samuil Petrovitch series. The final book in the trilogy, Degrees of Freedom finds Petrovitch still trying to make his way in the post-apocalyptic nightmare world he calls home. His girl has left him-though he's sure she still loves him. The New Machine Jihad is calling out to him-even though he destroyed it once already. And the Armageddonists are hell-bent on blowing the world up-again. It seems everyone wants something from Petrovitch, but all he wants is his freedom.

"The best of the series! So many plots with in plots and when the odds are stacked against him Petrovitch again shows how brilliant he is. All he has to do is save his marriage, his friends, the freezone, Michale and get the bastards that are trying to set him up to fail. No biggie."

— Dark, 2/9/2014" Third in this trilogy. Every book outstanding, a million brilliant ideas on each page. "
— Al, 1/10/2014" Final book in the trilogy and it was nonstop edge-of-your-seat action the whole way. If you like all the sci-fi thrillers that are out there on the big screen, this series is for you. MOney well spent. "
— Pam, 12/30/2013" Really, really impressive trilogy. Great blend of action-adventure-y type stuff (gunplay, explosions, narrow escapes) and high-concept SF (quantum mechanics, scientists doing science-y stuff, singularities, AIs), all in a near-future, post apocalyptic London. "
— Michael, 12/10/2013" great finish to the series. I hope this is not the last we'll see of Petrovich "
— Kathy, 11/15/2013" some one doesn't like the fundamentalist states of America "
— Georgina, 11/11/2013" I liked this Petrovich novel better than the last one. Good read. I work with scientists, so I add a star for that. "
— Edward, 7/25/2013" A good series so far, looking forward to book 4 "
— Alex, 4/9/2013" Wow! Third in a fantastic trilogy! So glad that I found this - such an original work of Sci-Fi which - like all good Sci-Fi - has something to say about our world today. Highly recommended! "
— Nick, 3/25/2013" Loved this and the whole series. If you like this kind of book read it. "
— Keith, 2/18/2013" A brilliant conclusion to the Metrozone trilogy - I am sad it's over! More Petrovich please Mr Morden! "
— Todd, 11/27/2012" A satisfying end to the trilogy with a healthy social commentary about the Hawkish, war-mongering and ultimately self-destructive tendencies of US foreign policy; all wrapped in a cyber-punk, adventure escapade. "
— Brandon, 11/10/2012" More Petrovich. More chaos. More destroying London. More fun. "
