About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The new Black Mirror-esque thriller from the author of the word-of-mouth sensation THE ONE - soon to be a Netflix original series.
_________________________
Five strangers guard our secrets.
Only four can be trusted...

In the 21st century, information is king. But computers can be hacked and files can be broken into - so a unique government initiative has been born. Five ordinary people have been selected to become Minders - the latest weapon in thwarting cyberterrorism. Transformed by a revolutionary medical procedure, the country's most classified information has been taken offline and turned into genetic code implanted inside their heads.

Together, the five know every secret - the truth behind every government lie, conspiracy theory and cover up. In return, they're given the chance to leave their problems behind and a blank slate to start their lives anew.

But not everyone should be trusted, especially when they each have secrets of their own they'll do anything to protect...

From author of THE ONE and soon to be published THE FAMILY EXPERIMENT!

The underlying story is good, but i just found it too complicated to remember who was who and what was happening. Writing this review now... I realise I couldn't tell anyone about the plot (lucky for some).

Too complicated

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Wasn’t sure at first, as became very confused with all different characters and trying to work out who was good and who was bad. Thought it wouldn’t be as good as previous futuristic books such as The One and The Passengers. However, glad I stuck with it when it became clearer, very clever plot and enjoyed it.

Marrs does it again!

A brilliant story. I really enjoyed all of the twists and turns. Definitely one of John Marr’s best novels.

Brilliant 🤩

Good story and characters but the narrators audio keeps dimming in places which is disappointing.

Interesting listen

Absolutely addicted to this author, brilliant story and so well narrated. Works very well on audio. Edge of seat the whole way.
