This was a decent sci-fi story about corporate espionage and super soldiers. The narration is very entertaining by Persephone Rose. I would have liked a bit more world building, but for what it was, it is pretty entertaining.
Entertaining

I walked in expecting a Technological Science Fiction book and what I got was so much more it is Techno-Thriller, action, adventure, assassin, science fiction and mystery rolled into a book that flows from story point to point with stunning ease and flow.
The narration is amazing giving life to each and every character conveying a depth of emotion and gravitas that is sometimes hard to come by.
Unless you hate technological based stories I cannot think of anyone that could not find a part of this story to enjoy.
It is worthy of the time to listen/read and I implore you to give it a try.
I hope there is another instalment.

What did I most like about this book? For me, the world/setting and some of the characters have a ton of potential and, going in, I was extremely interested in learning more. Unfortunately I just didn't feel like my expectations were met. It wasn't a horrible listen and might appeal to some listeners/readers more than myself.
Narration was okay too. It was far from bad (I've listened to much worse) but I didn't feel there was much variation in character voicing (not necessarily a requirement for me to enjoy a narrator) and the action sequences just felt a bit off. Maybe it was just the writing prose? I'm not sure but I think the tone used by Persephone Rose was intended to add suspense to the action but for me it just fell flat and felt off.
Overall, i'd say it is worth a listen or read as there are a number of interesting aspects to this book. Perhaps you'll be able to overlook the issues I had with it.
