The Tube Riders is a series of bestselling, critically acclaimed dystopian science fiction novels by Author Chris Ward.
It follows the adventures of Marta Banks who is a Tube Rider, a girl who risks death every day in the abandoned underground stations of London.
There are four books in the series which pit Marta Banks and her fellow Tube Riders against the villainous Governor and his deadly henchmen.
I will give a short review for each of the books without spoiling too much
Book 1 — The Tube Riders : Underground
It starts off with the protagonist Marta Banks who is staying in dystopian London. She has lost her real family and is currently living with her adopted family in the Tube Riders. They are living their lives struggling daily to survive against their bleak conditions. But they uncover a secret government plot which turns their lives upside down and puts them in the firing line of the Governor and his Huntsmen. The book takes them through the story of how they attempt to survive this onslaught.
Please check out the synopsis from the author himself
Marta Banks is a girl with an identity. She is a Tube Rider, a girl who risks death every day in the abandoned underground stations of London.
It doesn’t matter that her parents are dead. It doesn’t matter that her beloved brother has disappeared. It doesn’t matter that in the dystopian chaos of London in 2075, in the shadow of the towering perimeter walls, she has no future.
She has her friends.
Together, the Tube Riders are a family, united against the brutality of their lives, but when they discover a dark government secret that could bring war to Britain and end decades of oppression, everything they hold dear is threatened.
Now they are running for their lives, hunted by genetically engineered killing machines that will stop at nothing to catch them.
The Huntsmen are coming….
THE TUBE RIDERS: UNDERGROUND: the acclaimed dystopian thriller set in a near-future dystopian London.

Book 2 — The Tube Riders : Exile
The second book moves the setting from London to Northern France. Marta and her friends are fighting for their lives against a sinister enemy while trapped against the Governor’s forces.
Here is the synopsis from the second book
Having narrowly escaped the Governor’s savage Huntsmen, Marta Banks and the other surviving Tube Riders are on the run in northern France. Trapped inside a government-assigned quarantine zone, they search for a way out of a bleak countryside littered with abandoned worker robots and haunted by sinister monks, while at the same time a far deadlier threat than any they have faced before is searching for a way in …
From the towering spires of Mont St Michel through the dark horrors of the Paris Catacombs to the treacherous peaks of the French Alps, The Tube Riders: Exile is an epic continuation of Chris Ward’s Tube Riders series.

Book 3— The Tube Riders : Revenge
In the third book, Marta Banks and the Tube Riders have gone into hiding. The governor is making preparations for a huge war which will change the course of Europe. Some rebels who are loyal to Marta still attempt to face off against the Governor unconcerned about their life and death but there is no sign of the tube riders. But the Governor finds something that will force the Tube Riders out into the open. The book is a fitting end to a story that started in Underground.
Here is the synopsis for the third one
Live together, die together …
Three years after the end of The Tube Riders: Exile, the Governor is preparing for war with Europe. Within Mega Britain’s cities, pockets of rebels fight and die in the name of Marta Banks, brave leader of the surviving Tube Riders.
The Tube Riders themselves though, have disappeared. With their trail gone cold, the Governor and his deadly Huntsmen have no way to find them.
That is, until the day the Governor recovers a long lost treasure from his past, an ancient artifact that could crush the rebellion for good.
Marta Banks is about to lose everything.
Here is the beginning of the third book for your enjoyment
Book 4 — The Tube Riders : In the Shadow of London
The fourth book is set between Exile and Revenge. It takes the focus away from the main plot between Marta banks and the Governor and focuses on some other important characters in the struggle. It follows former Tube Rider David Silverwood who is attempting to gather all former Tube Riders to make a desperate last stand against the Governor and his cronies. Standing in his way is Dreggo who was earlier a small time gang member but has now become the Governor’s right hand. There is also Lindon who is a member of a criminal organization but is struggling to find where his loyalties lie.
Here is the synopsis :
There’s gone and then there’s London-gone ….
Marta Banks and her Tube Riders may have fled, but they left behind a city on the brink of collapse. In the violent wasteland of London Greater Urban Area, former Tube Rider David Silverwood tries to reunite the old members of the gang to make one last stand against the government. In his way is Dreggo, once a member of a rival gang but now the Governor’s right hand, and Lindon, a member of the criminal stronghold known as the Tank, who is struggling with issues of loyalty towards revolution, the people protected by his organisation, and his dying girlfriend, Cah.
Revisiting London in the period between Tube Riders: Exile and Tube Riders: Revenge, In the Shadow of London is a stunning addition to Chris Ward’s Tube Riders series.
