À propos de cet audio
 In this electrifying near-future thriller, five strangers guard government secrets, but 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... Aventure Science-fiction Suspense Techno-thrillers Thrillers et romans à suspense Fiction Technologie Gouvernement

I am a-okay with wherever John Marrs wants to direct my imagination, and I am always quite happy to follow. He's not infallible and parts of the story, especially those dealing with technology, could be updated. But determining where tech will be in the future you're creating is always a gamble when you're writing speculative fiction, so I can easily forgive those miscalculations. In character development, Marrs is infallible. He breathes life into his people, be they saints or devils, so the reader gets to know them nearly as intimately as their author does. Narrators Katherine Press and Oliver Hembrough carry the 11 hours of audio with aplomb. They both read their text extremely well, which is especially challenging given some of Marrs' run-on sentences. I particularly notice that the narrative flows as smoothly as liquid honey from Katherine Press's lips.
