About this listen

The mind can hold powerful secrets.

When Dr. Jessica Paladon worked for her friend, Dr. Dean Devya, she helped create Nadia, one of the world's few Minders. Tough circumstances drove her away from that life, and to protect the secrets, she willingly took a drug that induced amnesia.

But now she needs those memories.

Two children - her children - Nadia and Varick, are competing in a winners-take-all, losers-might-die competition for the biggest secret government contract out there. They're fighting for the right to exist.

If Jessie can't remember, how will she help them survive?

I really enjoyed this book. I have had this book in my library for a while but kept putting it off because I wasn't sure I wanted to listen to experiments being carried out on children and choose a lighter listen, one that wouldn't make me cry- I cry at Disney films. I had nothing to worry about and Why on earth did I leave it so long? Nothing like that happened at all and In fact I really enjoyed it and found it fascinating. I liked the characters, even the scientists as they seemed to really care for the children. I did get a bit confused with all the characters and which child was on which team but I think it is a book you can listen to again and the second time I might follow along better. Science was along time ago for me but the author doesn't bamboozle you with science in fact you start straight in with a gripping story.
Jessica went to extraordinary lengths to keep her greatest success and her biggest mistake a secret. Now that decision has come back to haunt her. The one thing she greatly wanted to forget by taking an amnesia inducing drug is now the most important thing that she remembers, lives are at stake. The lives of her children. The government can only fund one project and so divisive a competition to find the best and the loser will be cut, permanently. The contestants are children aged between 4 and 10 but they are no ordinary children they have been enhanced. Can the doctor or the children find a way to help each other?
I liked the narrator and thought he did a good job with all the voices whether old or young.

A really gripping and suspenseful sci-fi book that will surely keep you listening from start to finish.

I have listened to other books written by Julie Gilbert before, and I am always amazed at how she can make complicated stuff easier for me to understand.

The narration performed for this book was just the perfect touch needed to complete, what I consider as a great and entertaining listen.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this additional story to the world of "Devya's Children". Nadia and Varick were pitted against other genetically enhanced children in a competitive game where the losers might not be allowed to live. The story was short. Each action-packed scene flowed into the next. I liked this closer inspection of Nadia's and Varick's personalities and interactions. The only thing that was somewhat hard to accept was the age of the children. I understand that these children were genetically enhanced, but I still had trouble with their ages. Brian Troxell's narration was great, and his performance kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.
