Story
When sun flares hit the Earth, intense heat, toxic radiation and flooding followed, wiping out much of the human race. Those who survived live in basic communities in the mountains, hunting for food. For Mark and his friends, surviving is difficult, and then an enemy arrives, infecting people with a highly contagious virus. Thousands die, and the virus is spreading. Worse, it's mutating, and people are going crazy. It's up to Mark and his friends to find the enemy - and a cure - before the Flare infects them all.

Celaena Sardothien is her kingdom's most feared assassin. Though she works for the powerful and ruthless Assassin's Guild, Celaena yields to no one and trusts only her fellow killer for hire, Sam. When Celaena's scheming master, Arobynn Hamel, dispatches her on missions that take her from remote islands to hostile deserts, she finds herself acting independently of his wishes - and questioning her own allegiance. Along the way, she makes friends and enemies alike, and discovers that she feels far more for Sam than just friendship.

Summary
From James Dashner, the author of the New York Times best-selling Maze Runner series, comes an edge-of-your seat adventure. The Eye of Minds is the first book in The Mortality Doctrine, a series set in a world of hyperadvanced technology, cyberterrorists, and gaming beyond your wildest dreams...and your worst nightmares.
To catch a hacker, you need a hacker. For Michael and the other gamers, the VirtNet can make your wildest fantasies become real. And the more hacking skills you have, the more fun. Who wants to play by the rules anyway? But some rules were made for a reason.
One gamer has been taking people hostage inside the VirtNet with horrific consequences. The government needs Michael to track down the rogue gamer, but the risk is enormous, and the line between game and reality could be blurred forever....
Critic reviews
"In typical Dashner style, this is quick and involving, with the main frustration being the wait time until the next book." ( Booklist)
"Dashner does not disappoint." (Stephen King, The School Librarian)

Eye of minds.
The story synopsis has already been covered in the Audible introduction so I won't elaborate.
The idea behind this story is a very interesting one and the writing simple and easy to follow, with the text well read by the narrator. It is exciting in parts but, after a while, seemed to be lacking in imagination with the trials on the main protagonist's journey becoming limited to simplistic slog-it-out scenes or fairy tale settings which felt too unsophisticated for the overall concept. It would have been an excellent short story but failed to convince as a full length book. It would also probably do better as a film where visuals would flesh out the characters as well as providing a depth of strangeness and confusion.
However, I listened to the not too surprising conclusion. It became my book to fall asleep to at the end of the day.

Not as good as The Maze Runner
Bit disappointed as I loved the Maze runner series. This is quite predictable and basically been done before. It's like Harry, Ron and Hermione stuck in a computer world so essentially quite matrix and Shadow of the Minotaur by Gibbons with s but of Dean Koontz demon seed mashed in. There were good bits but I doubt I'll read the sequel.

Enjoyable
The audio reading i thought was good, got Steven fry (harry potter standard) but over easy lessening.
Story was interesting, gets better towards the end as i had no idea that the story would end the way it did, so was good in that respects.
But for me, i did not find it gripping all the way though, it was not one of those stories i lesson to were i am left wondering what will happen next, excited to hear. more.
