About this listen

A cybernetic mercenary sets her sights on the corporation that forced her transformation in this dystopian sci-fi from the author of Victor of Tucson.

Juliet Bianchi has evolved from a lowly scrap cutter to a fully-loaded, combat-ready dark side operator. Known as "Lucky," she takes high-risk jobs for high-tech upgrades (you know, like weaponry, super reflexes, mind reading, etc.) that make her nearly invulnerable. Nearly.

Juliet is looking forward to some downtime to recover, recoup, and reunite with her mates from the space salvage trawler Kowashi. But after a while, she gets that old itch she can never quite seem to scratch: to infiltrate, and hopefully subvert, the all-powerful WBD megacorporation that created the AI that changed her life—and find out just what the hell she might be becoming.

To do that, Juliet must assemble a team of expert covert mercs to get her inside WBD's formidable defenses. And to do that, she'll need the help of the last person she'd ever trust: Tanaka—the man who delivered a brutal beating she almost didn't survive back on Titan. No one ever said being a hyper-advanced, cyber-enhanced master spy/thief/warrior was going to be easy . . .

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

Amazing character depth

Another great story from this series. I absolutely cannot wait until the next book comes out. I really really really like what I call the “extra” story after the climax has peaked.

ita just what it says on the tin

I've been waiting on this book for a few months. I enjoy listening to this series for my once monthly 8 hour commute, Im about halfway through and it reads a bit like a cozy slice of life for our girl Juliette. There are still fights and tension and drama. But, she gets to relax some breathe a little, and get some fun new toys.

I absolutely love this series. It is one of the happy thoughts in my life, all the plot hooks left dangling from past books are fun to ponder how they might come to fruition. I love this book and am looking forward to Lucky and Angel's next rampage. Keep it up Plum.

this series keeps on rolling

Parrot continues to advance her MC through a series of unique struggles both minor and major. I love her exciting action scenes along with her exposition transitions and character's ai accompanied introspection. the story is always engaging. the narrator brings the mc to life though I am not 100% pleased with voices of some minor characters.

Love this series

The voice actor was amazing! I love the interactions between Juliet and Angel. The adventures were exciting and the books all moved at a great pace. I still hear Angel in my head proclaiming “Juliet!” So good! Thank you

A genuine joy everytime

I've loved every installment of the series. And at risk of too much of a good thing, I could listen the this cyperpunk story for another 10 books and probably still love it. Suzy Jackson is just as good as always and Plum Parrot is a fantastic writer. This series reminded me I can enjoy a series that isn't Litrpg, the most you get as something similar is a stat readout maybe once a book. Plum Parrot please keep writing these! Not since Tower of Somnus have I enjoyed another series in this genre as much.

Solid book

The best part of this addition to the series is that the MC is becoming more human than in the previous book. She’s got emotions that cause irrational behavior that doesn’t lend itself to making her above humanity. She’s more relatable. That being said, she’s still a B-A who does what she does and does it well.

I’m obsessed with this series

It’s so creative and written so well. I love how the voice actress and writing work so perfect together to embody the adorable relationship between Juliet and Angel. I love how incredible the woman power is in this series. You just have to listen to it to fall in love with it.

Binged in one sitting, again!

This entire series has been just incredible, and I genuinely can't wait for the next book. It's been so engaging that I find it almost impossible to pause, and ended up listening to the entire book in one go today.

I love so many things about this story, but I'll just list the big ones. Before that, I'll say that I honestly cannot think of anything I disliked. I may be frustrated with the MC's caution with regard to her psychic capabilities, but I understand it and it makes sense for her to be so wary. It's one of the reasons I'm looking forward to the next book, though, as it seems to be building up to her acceptance of the ability.

That said, the biggest things I love:
First, the focus on the main character, and almost exclusively her point of view. Many stories are written with POV switches to give the reader context as to what's going on in aspects of the story the MC wouldn't be aware of, and while that does happen in these books, it's almost exclusively at the Epilogue. Here, the goings-on around the MC, and her plans being slowly put into action, are the entire focus. I am really happy with that. I don't tend to be a fan of numerous POV switches because they're so often overused.

Second, the scale of things. It started off with the MC running away and barely scraping buy, and she gradually turned into a large-corpo busting pro mercenary. The stakes are getting even larger with each book, and the MC is rising to the challenge every time in entirely reasonable and believable ways. The risks are becoming more known, and her concerns (and subsequently our, the readers, concerns) are more fleshed out as she finally starts to measure up to the scale of her enemies. She gets smarter, learns from her mistakes, takes the advice of her friends, and trains relentlessly. It's all earned power and readiness. Super well done.

Lastly, the budding romance aspect. It's been mentioned in the past couple of stories that she's interested in a relationship, but couldn't see it reasonably, or safely, occurring. Even in previous books, when it was acknowledged, it was disregarded by the MC for those reasons. Now, it's finally something that is actively being explored by the MC, if a bit hesitantly. I found myself rooting for a certain crushing girl to find her way into the MC's heart, but... well, I'm still hopeful, but the author may have dropped the ball there. That's just my opinion, though, as sad as I may be about it. Regardless, the point is that romance is potentially in the air now - and I'm excited to see the MC explore it, even if my headcanon disagrees with her choice (lol).

10/10, will definitely re-read the entire series a couple years after the final book is published. Probably several times.

Great book

All the books in this series are fantastic. The continuation of Lucy’s saga was as expected fantastic. A must read for fans of the series.
