( ) Mindwalker ticks all my boxes of a great read: a fast-paced, twisty, and action-packed sci-fi thriller with a bad-ass main character, both caught up in and fighting the system, plus add an enemies-to-lovers subplot. Sil is an elite "mindwalker" who's been cybernetically enhanced and trained to take over the brains of her employers field agents/spies to help extract them from dangerous situations. When one of her assignments goes spectacularly awry and she ends up on the run and thrown in with the resistance, launching her non-stop quest to find the truth, avoid getting killed, righting wrongs, and accidentally falling for her enemy. The worldbuilding is intricate and convincing, and readers of all ages will root for Sil.
Though Captain Sil Sarrah is only 18, her record is legendary – and her time is running out. Sil is a Syntex Corporation Mindwalker, able to take over field agents' brains and guide them to safety, but the supercomputer that allows her to do so will kill her in less than a year. When a rescue mission goes wrong and she’s accused of being a traitor, Sil discovers some unwelcome truths about the company she's dedicated her life to – and finds herself strangely drawn to the leader of Syntex's enemies. This SF YA debut boasts pin-sharp characterisation and nail-biting, swift-paced action.
"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. 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"-- No library descriptions found. |
