About this listen

 Mindwalker is an action-packed YA sci-fi novel with one central question at its core: would you ever surrender control of your mind?

DO NOT SURRENDER CONTROL.

Eighteen-year-old Sil Sarrah is determined to die a legend. But with only twelve months left before the supercomputer grafted to her brain kills her, Sil's time is quickly running out.

In the ten years she's been rescuing field agents for the Syntex corporation - by commandeering their minds from afar and leading them to safety - Sil hasn't lost a single life. And she's not about to start now.

But when a critical mission goes south, Sil is forced to flee the very company she once called home.

Desperate to prove she's no traitor, Sil infiltrates the Analog Army, an activist faction working to bring Syntex down. Her plan: to win back her employer's trust by destroying the group from within. Instead, she and the Army's reckless leader, Ryder, uncover a horrifying truth that threatens to undo all the good she's ever done.

With her tech rapidly degrading and her new ally keeping dangerous secrets of his own, Sil must find a way to stop Syntex in order to save her friends, her reputation - and maybe even herself.

Mindwalker is a cinematic gut punch of action and espionage. Sharp-edged, tense and thrilling, you'll be holding your breath until the last page
Utterly enthralling with no time to catch your breath, Dylan plunges you into an unforgiving world full of tech, secrets and government control. With a plot that doesn't let you go and characters you don't want to let go, Mindwalker is aptly titled-it will continue to live in my mind rent free
Mindwalker is pure adrenaline shot straight into your veins. The story grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go, and by the end, you'll be begging for another book from Dylan! On a deeper level, it's also a wildly important read that takes an incisive look at issues of consent. A must-read for both fans of sci-fi and those who think they don't like sci-fi!
Deftly balancing break-neck action with reflections on consent, mortality, and what legacy we choose to leave behind, Mindwalker is here to grab you by the throat and pitch you head first into the thrill ride of a lifetime. Buckle up, kids, Sil Sarrah is a heroine for the ages

Absolutely loved this story. the narration was great and the story itself was encapsulating. lovable and loathable characters, fantastic plotline and enough little twists and turns to keep it interesting.

Fantastic

I’m not normally a fan of YA or sci-fi, but I saw this recommended on TikTok and thought I’d give it a go. I’m glad I did.

The world building was excellent. You could really imagine the earth becoming that way and the references to the “old ways” were pretty cool. The imagery was bright and vibrant, and the tech ideas were really imaginative (the thought of being able to change your hair colour just by thinking about it? Yes please!)

The twist was only obvious in a “there has to be a twist” kind of way, which I enjoyed.

Overall I thought this was a good listen!

Better than I expected

I feel like if I'd been a teenager this would have gone down better with me. it was an okay story line but I have to admit there were alot of moments when I was waiting for something to happen, something exciting. the main characters is okay, however I didn't like how that dude said her full name all the time. I also wasn't majorly keen on the narrator who's voice I found annoying for starters and didn't put much effort into making intense moment wound, well intense. all in all not great. sorry

meh
