About this listen

AntiAmerica stands at the center of the largest US anarchist uprising in 100 years.

When hacktivist group AntiAmerica hacks the nation's largest banks, the financial industry is left teetering on the brink of collapse. Hacker and teen runaway Alanna Blake is forcefully recruited by the government to track down the only link to AntiAmerica, her missing ex-boyfriend Javier. She relies on every bit of her social engineering cunning to navigate a conspiracy of lies and deceit, which imperils both the lives of everyone closest to her and the secrets to a past she longs to remain locked away forever.

This book contains content surrounding drug abuse, mental illness, physical abuse, and suicide.

Did not feel like a calm moment at all in this book. It was extremely fast-paced. The hacking information was on point and felt extremely realistic to what is on point nowadays. I liked how everything was against her, that nothing was going her way. Even though everyone kept throwing stuff at her, she never stopped. She carried on and did what she believed was right for her. Not what the world believed.

She a fighter. There were plenty of twists, to keep you on your toes.

There's barely a moment to draw breath in this extra.slick fast paced thriller as young Alanna Blake tries to find, and protect, her missing ex-!over. Jarvier was not answering her calls and her initial attempt to find him - breaking into his apartment - left her with the choice of working for Goverment agents to find him for them, or facing prison time. Using her hacking skills and ca!ling on favours from erstwhile friends and others, she continues the search as she also plays a double game with the agents, trying to stay one step ahead of them to prove accusations against Jarrvier are unfounded. But someone always seems to know what she is doing.

The book is intriguing, exciting and, although the more technical aspects of what she was doing were explained, often went beyond this reader's comprehension. This didn't matter, though. The sheer speed of the ongoing action just swept everything along. And always the question, just who was behind the fast growing protest group, AntiAmerica?

The narrator, Molly Lankford reads as fast as the action of the book is written - it is rather disconcerting at first. And although her diction is clear, the downturn in cadence at the end of most sentences made the delivery depressing and the speed gave her voice a touch of unwelcome abrasiveness. Reducing playback speed to 0.75 greatly improved this and allowed the attractive tonal qualities of her reading to be heard. One major problem, however, was her not attempting to give separate voicing to the fairly numerous protagonists, other than a pseudo accent for two of them. This would not have been usually have caused difficu!ties but in this case, where areas of the book depend on conversation between characters with no ascribed names given, it made determining who was saying what rather tricky.

My thanks to the rights holder of AntiAmerica, who, at my request, freely gifted me a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. It was a really fast ride and, despite the small problems mentioned above, totally absorbing. None of the characters were empathic and get there was a magnetic quality to the story which kept me totally engage, a bit like watching a car crash, I suppose, or an avalanche rolling down towards a low lying village. Mesmeric and unstoppable.
If you like your action non stop fast, this could well be for you.

There's nowhere you can hide.
