1997: In an America ravaged by war and gutted by riots and social collapse, ‘Snake’ Plissken was the deadliest man alive. Ex-soldier, ex-hero, outlaw, Snake was so slippery no trap could catch him, no jail could hold him. Then he was set up, betrayed, captured. They sent him into the ultimate prison: New York City. A penal colony twelve miles long and two miles wide. An urban jungle where men had become things and only the most brutal survived. But they gave him one shot at freedom. Somewhere in that cesspool of humanity was the President of the United States. Snake had twenty-four hours to find him. The rest was easy. He just had to get out alive.

Many thanks to Mike McQuay for this novelisation of the movie, building on the original screenplay by John Carpenter and Nick Castle.

Please note: I'm in no way a professional reader of any kind, so just bear with me and enjoy the story! I'm reading from the original 1981 UK release from Corgi Books. I believe the book is currently out of print.

The outro music used is ‘Escape From New York Main Theme (Cover)’ from the excellent Rocco Pezzin. You can listen to the full version here:    / @roccopezzin  .
