About this listen
In the 24th century, rising sea levels triggered by World War have forced humankind into a handful of densely populated cities surrounded by massive seawalls. Digitized consciousnesses known as Shades prowl the streets in bodies that aren’t their own, carrying out clandestine operations ordered by the artificial intelligence created to shepherd humankind through the aftermath. Civilization clings to a tenuous thread.
Cassidy is one of the most experienced Shades in the Initiative. An elite operative with an impeccable record, he’s dedicated his life to combating the rampant organized crime that threatens the new world order.
But when a beautiful stranger shows Cassidy that his entire existence is a lie, everything he’s ever known begins unraveling around him. It isn’t long before his fight for justice becomes a fight for something much bigger....
And the stakes are higher than he ever imagined....
Follow Cassidy through the rain-soaked streets of 24th-century Manhattan as he fights like John Wick against a corrupt system of repression and control, where the lines between ally and enemy are always blurred and trust is a dangerous gambit. If you like lightning-paced and action-packed adventure mixed with unexpected twists and awesome surprises, you’ll love this non-stop sci-fi thrill ride.

Until she contacts him, breathless, to tell him she found a body, and it doesn't belong to anyone on board.

In the 25th century, humankind has spread throughout the galaxy, monitored by the watchful eye of the U.N. While divisions in race, religion, and class still exist, advances in technology have redefined life itself. Now, assuming one can afford the expensive procedure, a person's consciousness can be stored in a cortical stack at the base of the brain and easily downloaded into a new body (or "sleeve") making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen.

An action-packed thriller!
From the first page to the last, Mindfracked keeps you on the edge of your seat, with more twists than a pretzel factory. Cassady has been a "Shade" for longer than anyone, but his latest mission has him caught between the gangs, his agency, and an unexpected team from his past. He has to pick a side before it's too late, but who can he trust?
M. R. Forbes spins another great yarn. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Unique, fast-paced, brilliant!
Mindfracked
Cassidy, Book 1
By: M.R. Forbes
Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer
My mind is fracked after this book! I love it so much! Forbes always knows what I need! This is a fast-paced sci-fi that takes the reader/listener on a wild ride through the future where globe warming has the sea levels so high there are only pockets of land masses to live on and sea walls to hold the water at bay. Despite man ignoring the science of global warming, science has continued in its advancement of hovering/ flying cars, messaging, and so much more.
One of those great achievements is transferring consciousness from one body to another. Most people believe it's myth to scare kids, and adults. But Cassidy is a Shade, someone that is transferred into another body, and used to complete a mission. Her contract was for 50 missions. She has completed 48 at the start of the book. We see her in action and are introduced to her skills as she completes #49. Wow! This is how the book starts so let me tell you I was excited from the first! It only got better!
But thinks aren't all what they seem. Especially when her consciousness was stored for 20 years then she was brought out and put in another agent! This never happens! The story gets fast and furious! Mind blowing sci-fi, action, suspense, and twisted plot, situations, and more!
I love Forbes' books anyway but this one is so remarkable! Terrific characters, unique storyline, fantastic action and sci-fi! I so recommend this book to anyone who loves sci-fi and is looking for something different.
The narration was amazing! Kafer is one of a handful of my favorite narrators that has a thousand voices! He knows the inflection, timing, and emotional timing of each word for human, animal, or other! Perfection!
Quit reading reviews and go get the Audible book! You owe yourself a treat!

Fun Ride
Aspects of Altered Carbon, Terminator, Blade Runner, and a dozen other future timelines. I really enjoyed the book and it kept me entertain such that I looked forward to listening to the story rather than feeling like I needed to muddle through.
Going to give the next book a try as well. Glad I found this.

Not what I expected, but that’s good!
I’m a huge fan of Forbes’ Forgotten universe so I thought I’d give this new series a chance and I’m glad I did. It’s a very interesting concept that has a lot of potential to explore in more books. There’s enough action to keep it interesting and entertaining and a few twists and turns so the story doesn’t get stale. I enjoyed the audio book and the narrator did a great job.

Body Snatchers Mindbnb Style!
M.R. Forbes has crafted another series opener to what promises to be as thrilling and entertaining as his 'Chaos of the Covenant,' and 'War Eternal' series. As others have commented, there is a definite Altered Carbon aspect as well as a facet of War Eternal and even some Halo Covenant Grunt contraband weapons of choice. The story begins, continues and ends with thrilling confrontation and ample amounts of intrigue. The MC's backstory starts at iteration 48 of 50 but his personality is well defined. There are several secondary characters who are key to the story and as interesting as they all are, not all of them pull through. While this is unfortunate, it also adds realism to a story designed to be a fight for the survival of humanity.
With that stated, I was hoping that the MC's unique qualifications for his role had been better defined. For example, was he predestined for the role, was it happenstance or simply luck at surviving? Hopefully, follow-on books will provide more details on this. The blunt ending was a bit of a put-off, as well. However, neither of those aspects will deter me from anxiously awaiting the continuation of the series.
Jeffrey Kafer's performance was well done and seemed perfect for this type of role.

A Great Sci-fi Romp
Very reminiscent of Altered Carbon and Blade Runner this futuristic world of mind bending technologies is a really fun action packed adventure. The world is so interesting and I can't wait to see what comes next for Cassidy and to learn the penultimate truths that are hinted and teased at.
What's great about this book is that it gives you just enough science and technology to appreciate the world without getting too lost in the exposition. So you can dive right into the book and just enjoy it for what it is. I would love to eventually learn more of the technology used in the Shade initiative and how Unity came to be but for now I just want to know what happens next after such a cliffhanger of an ending
