Who is David Torrance?

David Torrance is the author of The Edge of Revolution, the single title of his in our catalogue. In the interests of honesty: the name David Torrance belongs to several public figures, and rather than pin the wrong biography onto the right author, we are keeping this page deliberately spare until we can do better by him.

What the catalogue does tell us is the shape of the work: one title, and a weighty one at that. The Edge of Revolution is not the name a writer gives to a trivial book, and listeners can take the seriousness of intent on trust even where the CV is, for the moment, missing.

David Torrance in audiobooks

The Edge of Revolution carries its subject in its title: a moment when events might have tipped one way or the other. That is exactly the sort of material that thrives in audio, where built-in tension does the quiet work of keeping you listening through the detail.

Approached cold, without preconceptions about its author, it stands or falls on its storytelling – and for UK listeners who like their listening substantial, that is no bad way to meet a book. Sometimes the shelf is a more reliable guide than the byline, and this title earns the benefit of the doubt.
