Publisher's summary

2024 Ambie Award Winner for Best Fiction Podcast.

To stop a powerful invention from falling into the wrong hands, Claudia Rua will have to go above and beyond: She’ll have to steal it from a billionaire’s impregnable compound.

Claudia’s latest invention, PREVIA, represents a groundbreaking—and potentially dangerous—new method for helping Alzheimer’s patients retrieve their memories. When the platform is stolen from her lab, Claudia immediately suspects her boss, billionaire Horge Hooglestar. But when you want to make a move against one of the most powerful men in the world, you need to think outside the box...and the law.

Now, Claudia must recruit a heist team, including her estranged best friend Andrea, Andrea’s genius hacker of a partner, Syd, and a disgruntled underwater performer for a high-end circus. Can they make off with PREVIA before Hooglestar sells it to the highest bidder? The clock is ticking.

A thrilling heist tale that pits the haves against the have-nots and a cadre of badass women against an all-powerful megalomaniac, Tech Heist is a must-listen for fans of capers and high-tech adventures alike.

So good!

I love the representation of the Latinx community in this book. It was so fast paced and exciting. I could visualize everything. It was also a very interesting storyline.

Entertaining, fast paced and short.

I enjoyed this very much, an exciting caper that is really about friendships and family.

My only complaint is that two of the main characters sounded so much alike, I had a hard time determining who was who sometimes.

Lost my interest

Story was semi-interesting until the thrown in gay relationship stuff. To each their own, but is usually an instant turn off for me.

A corny caper for the modern age

The cast of actors voiced their characters well. Some of the sound effects were cheesy and some of the sound effects, like voices coming from a walkie talkie or earpiece, made the words harder for me to understand. The heist has Ocean's 11 level complexity, which made it interesting. Same for the twist. The caper was fun BUT some of the antics were a bit hokey. The technology involved was a cool concept. I especially liked that this was not the traditional cast of characters. Many of the team members were female, including the scientist (main character), tech CEO, and computer hacker. Most (if not all) were Hispanic. At least two were LGBTQ+. The "chemist" of the group was a professional stylist (that character was a hoot). No complaints about the "good guys". The villain was depicted as uber-smart - evidenced by more forethought, planning, and outwitting than many other brainy villains - but his personality was so clownish/cartoonish that I feel it robbed him of any realism or gravitas and sometimes got pretty annoying. The ending felt cheesy to me. Maybe I had a hard time following it, maybe it went too fast, or maybe the use of hand-waved tech magic made it feel implausible. I could listen to the end again and figure it out but I've got other books to read. Overall an entertaining story, the brevity of the book was a benefit, but plenty of flaws that caught my attention.

Not too bad

I got this despite the top two reviews giving it one star. It reminds of me of kids action cartoons. It's a fun quick listen if you don't take it seriously.

A rare find…for me! Loved it!!!

My normal books are romcoms or business books. I stumbled on this and thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and the performance. The characters were well written. The narrators were exceptional. I was able to visualize the activities as they was read. I will lol for similar books. Audible thank you for you Originals.
