John Wick meets Blade Runner in this fast-paced cyberpunk thriller by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Will of the Many and The Strength of the Few.

My job, when you think about it, isn’t so different from a lot of people’s.

The more old-fashioned crowd do still get hung up on the "killing people" part of it, I guess, but that’s a them problem: it’s been perfectly legal to take out lifers for ages. Besides, once ultrawealthy morons realized they had a way to live forever—limited resources be damned—there was only ever going to be one genuinely practical deterrent.

So, sure, I have to deal with a ton of boring planning. Inconvenient hours. Some pretty awkward face-to-face interactions. And like most of us, I’m really only clocking in to try to crawl out from beneath my debts. But someone’s got to do it.

Luckily, my genetic compatibilities make me really, really good at doing it.

Still. This next job . . . I don’t know. It’s something I haven’t had to deal with in years. Kind of the opposite of my regular duties. Strange, that it got thrown my way.

I’m sure it’ll all go totally fine though.

I thought the story was good, overall I enjoyed it for sure, it got better as it went which is great

it was a bit short, felt like it was sorta unfinished, stopped too early, and since it was short it felt too early not just that sorta cliff hanger for the next (if there's a next)

recommended, good, just should have written the next bit and included it in this book...

overall great, felt unfinished, not as good as will of the many

What happened to the end?
This was a good tale, not particularly innovative but Islington is so great with characters that the lack of innovation isn't a real issue. What was an huge issue was the terrible lack of conclusion or otherwise interesting end.
I went back and listened to the last chapter a second time because I felt sure I must have missed something.
It honestly ends like an essay when the writer ran out of time and simply had to turn in an unfinished work. Hugely disappointing. This should have been a chapter break not a book break.

Solid concept and execution, severely let down by an abrupt and pointless ending.

This was such an enjoyable book, with a fun storyline that I felt was fairly well covered given the short length of Scion compared to his previous books.
I hope we get more of Azure!

A Great Listen!

Really cool book, the shorter book allowed for real pace throughout but the author still managed to include world building, character, plot development.

Hopefully almost a prequel novel to a larger sci fi follow-up, or the first of a few snappy novels.. but I’d expect if the author follows it up he may naturally go into more depth…

Either way a great listen

Great book, great performance, short and snappy

This is some of Islington's best, especially considering it is a departure from his fantasy writing. It has all the tell tale talent that Islington has honed over the years in the form of mind bending twists and wild concepts but this time in the flavour of a techno future. I love the humour and jovial nature of the writing yet it maintains the tension and seriousness of the situation.

The performance for the audio is also outstanding, line delivery and pacing is incredible, perfect for the protagonist and the world it is set in.

Overall I only have one critique and that is that there is not enough of it! I want more.

Outstanding and fresh
