By: Andrew M. Dobell

Narrated by: Julia Eve

Shot and left for dead, you wake up in a new entirely cybernetic body, and now the Corporations want you dead. What would you do?

In a world ruled by faceless, uncaring mega-corporations, Frankie, a young woman who has resisted cybernetics, becomes the victim of a lethal Jacker Gang attack. Shot and left to die in the slums of Neo-London, she is found by a genius cybernetic doctor who is on the run from a powerful Corporation. Seeing an opportunity to finish his latest cybernetic masterpiece, he transplants Frankie's brain into a powerful prosthetic body. Frankie has barely woken up when the Corporation's forces attack and kidnap the doctor, forcing Frankie to go on the run in her new cybernetic body.

Pursued by corporation Special Forces, cybernetic agents, and hulking mechs, Frankie must fight to survive and choose what to do with her new body and its incredible abilities. Frankie must overcome the shock of her new body, survive ruthless attacks, and figure out who to trust if she is to save the doctor's life and strike her first real blow against the tyrannical Corporations.

This new cyberpunk action thriller is a must-listen for fans of Ghost in the Shell, Blade Runner, Appleseed, Akira, The Matrix, Robocop, and Total Recall.

Fun Cyberpunk Story

Set in a dystopian future where corporations rule with a free hand, “Frankie” is thrust into direct conflict with them when she was left for dead and saved by a rogue cybernetic doc. In a mad scramble to escape the long arm of the corps and recover some aspect of her prior life, she is forced into a desperate rescue attempt of that same doc who is the only person that can maintain his creation … aka her new borg bod.

It’s a well worn trope executed well (with a strong resemblance to Alita); my inner techie is a sucker for a good cyberpunk story (+1*). The narration was also solid for the action and dialog ... And despite being the first in a series, there is an actual resolution to the initial conflict with a "to be continued" ending that continues with the same protagonists that I found easy to connect with and look forward to their new adventures within this cyber world.

I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Slow start fast finish

Gotta admit I was worried for the initial start of the book. Characters started to develop and details began to piece stories together.

Governments having to stave off corporations after basically handing control to them rang so true. looking forward to this becoming a multi book series.

Cyberpunk Thriller

I don't usually listen to or read cyberpunk stories, however I found the premise of this book intriguing and I enjoyed this book. The characters were fairly well developed and interesting. The heroine was especially likeable. There was sufficient action, adventure and humor. The narrator's accent was pleasant and she smoothly transitioned between the characters.
