Jovian Reverie: A Dystopian Sci-Fi Adventure

Cyber Dreams, Book 4

De: Plum Parrot

Narrado por: Suzy Jackson

There's no such thing as a cyborg vacation in the fourth installment of this action-packed sci-fi adventure from the author of the Victor of Tucson series.

Juliet Bianchi used to be a lowly scrap scrounger in Arizona. But when she was accidentally implanted with a beyond-awesome AI chip, her life changed dramatically—what with all the nanotechnology, bodywork, and other badass enhancements. Now, she's a high-powered weapon-for-hire in hiding as . . . what else? A not-so-lowly scrap scrounger!

When a new gig calls for her to climb aboard a swanky cruise ship on its way to Io, Juliet is more than happy to live the high life for a little while. And it gives her a chance to test out her latest upgrades, which just so happen to include telekinesis and mind-reading. Unfortunately, with great power comes some sort of responsibility.

Because when Juliet tries out her new mental mojo on a crowd of passengers, she picks up some unwanted intel. It seems there's an assassin onboard who's on their way to make a hit. Juliet will have to balance being a cold-blooded mercenary herself with stopping a fellow killer. And then things actually get complicated . . .

The fourth volume of the hit cyberpunk series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Another great entry in the series

This is another really nice entry in the series, expanding the world and laying major groundwork for things to come.

Negatives:

There is an oddity in chapter 19. In a drunken haze, Juliet is said to carve her initials into Ray’s ship. For someone who hides their identity, that seems really dangerous. Which initials did she carve? An L? But that’s just one initial. It seems more likely that she carved initials, plural, meaning J.B., which is extremely dangerous. And yet this whole thing is just passed off as a bad prank, and neither she nor angel ever mention it again. Nick never asks about her real name, and the whole thing is just forgotten. This seems like some kind of oversight on the authors part. At the very least, Juliet should have panicked about this a little, and asked Angel what she carved.

In the same chapter, Juliet asks Angel about a recording they made, and the response comes in Nick‘s voice. So does the subsequent comments from Angel, all coming in Nick‘s voice when he isn’t even in the room. This is a mistake on Susie Jackson’s part, And I have knocked a star off of the narration because of it. Perhaps harsh for an otherwise well done narration, but she seems to sometimes have difficulty using the correct voice for unattributed dialogue. The same thing happens at the end of book 2, when Juliet talks in angel’s voice.

Anyway, if you have read this far in the series, you are most likely going to read this one, and I don’t need to convince you too. It’s worth your time, it’s worth your credit, this is an amazing series.

Nonstop interest

Was able to listen to the entire book without feeling as if it ever slowed down. Narration is fantastic and found myself hanging on for one more chapter more than a few times.

Wow just wow

This was so good I couldn’t put it down! Only complaint was the mispronunciation of the word Athenry. But that’s neither here nor there. All in all this book had so much world building and left me with more questions than I went in with. I will eagerly await the next book. This series has climbed its way into my top favorites and I don’t see that changing.

How does this just keep getting better?

What a fun series. It keeps escalating. Jovian introduces tech that makes SENSE. WOW! Cant wait for number 5!

I need more!

What another awesome edition to the series! Awesome action and intrigue, character development, and new plot hooks!!!
