Description

‘FIZZES WITH ENERGY AND REBELLION’ SAMANTHA SHANNON
‘WITTY, GRITTY, AND VICIOUS FUN’ HANNAH KANER
‘UTTERLY ENTHRALLING’ SAARA EL-ARIFI

An explosive cyberpunk SF thriller from the author of Mindwalker, set in a world of corporate intrigue and dangerous technology.

No more quiet rebellions.

Born into a religious cult, Indra Dyer lives a simple, tech-free existence. But when an illicit trip leaves her with a debilitating – and terminal – condition, Indra must choose: die faithful or betray her Order and accept the cure Glindell Technologies is offering.

Forced to sign over her life, Indra is horrified to learn the true nature of Glindell’s plans. Instead of saving her body, they upload her mind to a MindDrive, housed in a robotic shell.

On the outside, Indra looks the same; on the inside, she’s not so sure. She keeps finding herself in places she really shouldn’t be, with no memory of how she got there, and dangerous abilities she can’t explain. So when news breaks of an attack against Glindell’s biggest rival, Indra suspects the worst.

With the help of Tian – a research assistant with questionable morals and a smile that won’t quit – Indra must uncover the truth, before Glindell can use it to change the face of technology, and what it means to be human, forever . . .

Publisher Review

**PRAISE FOR MINDBREAKER** Witty dialogue, compelling themes, tense action, a determined protagonist - Dylan has taken all these, soaked them in neon, and shaken them into a dystopian thriller that fizzes with energy and rebellion * Samantha Shannon, bestselling author of The Bone Season and The Priory of the Orange Tree * Witty, gritty, and vicious fun. It's a tour de force in visual storytelling, and brings out the nuances of consent and autonomy in a digital world. I also loved the heart-pounding, edge of seat action sequences that felt like they were straight out of a movie (honestly, they should make one), and I read it so fast my head is still spinning. * Hannah Kaner, Sunday Times bestselling author of Godkiller * A frenzied feat of genius. Dylan is an auto-buy author for me, her writing always promises an invigorating ride at breakneck speed -- MINDBREAKER is no exception. An electric plot is interspersed with touching moments of resilience from a magnetic cast of characters, whose stupid decisions still have you rooting for more. Oh and it's queer. Need I say anything else? * Saara El-Arifi, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Battle Drum * Mindbreaker is everything you want in a cyberpunk thriller: sharp writing, explosive pacing, and hard-hitting questions about tech and AI. It's like reading a Marvel blockbuster in book form * L.R. Lam, Sunday Times Bestselling author of Dragonfall and False Hearts * Kate Dylan takes tech, dogma, and corporate power, wraps it in a dystopian wasteland and delivers an explosive, high body count, white knuckle ride * A. Y. Chao, Sunday Times bestselling author of Shanghai Immortal * High stakes, fast paced, and utterly unputdownable. Mindbreaker is an imaginative thrill ride through a world of cults and Big Tech, spearheaded by a girl who redefines what it means to be human. Fans of Mindwalker will not be disappointed by this triumphant return to Dylan's complex but accessible sci-fi universe * M. K. Lobb, Sunday Times Bestselling author of Seven Faceless Saints * ** PRAISE FOR KATE DYLAN ** Mindwalker is here to grab you by the throat and pitch you head first into the thrill ride of a lifetime * Kat Dunn, author of Dangerous Remedy * Utterly enthralling with no time to catch your breath * Saara El-Arifi, author of The Final Strife * Mindwalker is pure adrenaline shot straight into your veins * Jesse Q. Sutanto, bestselling author of The Obsession and Dial A for Aunties * Ridiculously thrilling. Mindwalker is an explosion of everything I love in sci-fi * Claire Winn, author of City of Shattered Light * A vibrant thrill ride from start to finish! * Meg Long, author of Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves * Mindwalker is the fast-paced, smart and surprising sci-fi of your dreams * Sarah Underwood, author of Lies We Sing to the Sea *
