About this listen

Altered Carbon and The Wind-Up Girl meet Apocalypse Now in this fast-paced, intelligent, action-driven cyberpunk, probing questions of memory, identity, and the power of narratives.

Lin “The Silent One” Vu is a gangster and sometime private investigator living in Chinese-occupied Hanoi, in the steaming, paranoid alleyways of the 36 Streets. Born in Vietnam, raised in Australia, everywhere she is an outsider.

Through grit and courage Lin has carved a place for herself in the Vietnamese underworld where Hanoi’s crime boss, Bao Nguyen, is training her to fight and lead. Bao drives her hard; on the streets there are no second chances. Meanwhile the people of Hanoi are succumbing to Fat Victory - a dangerously addictive immersive simulation of the US-Vietnam war.

When an Englishman comes to Hanoi on the trail of his friend’s murderer, Lin’s life is turned upside down. She is drawn into the grand conspiracies of the neon gods - of regimes and mega-corporations - as they unleash dangerous new technologies.

Lin must confront the immutable moral calculus of unjust wars. She must choose: family, country, or gang. Blood, truth, or redemption. No choice is easy on the 36 Streets.

I really enjoyed this story and the narrator was good, but I'm not quite sure what I thought of the attempt at helicopter sound.

One thing that I really appreciated with this audiobook is that the chapters are short without taking away from the story, because I listen very often when I'm working and 5-10 minute chapters work perfectly then.

Amazing

I didn't follow this story well. The writing was very choppy. Bad language was unnecessary and too much of it. I couldn't listen past Chapter 18. Narration was good but story was boring.

Discombobulated

I read Escher Man first so I missed some of the plot points but now I feel like I need to go back and listen/read again.

I don't really know how to describe why this book is good other than it made feel a lot of things and it is memorable. I look forward to more from Napper.

Very good

The story was great, with a good sprinkling of backstory for the protagonist without taking up too much space at any given time.
Narrator feels like the perfect fit for this story. I can't imagine anyone else doing as good of a job.

A fantastic cyberpunk noir thriller.

A good story about love, memory, and war. Compelling characters and a bit gruesome but we are talking about war here. Humorous at times, and heartbreaking. I thought the narrator did a great job.

Interesting and unique story
