Cyber Warrior: Book Three of 'The Mind Game: Volume One'

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Seventeen-year-old Roni is thrust into a deadly mission to smuggle a defector to safety, where every ally might be an enemy – and failure isn't an option.

Roni Padilla thought her summer would be defined by college prep and her best friend Kenzie’s ongoing debates about geopolitics. Instead, she’s swept into a covert CIA operation to escort a North Korean defector with a knack for hacking and a sharp tongue, Jang Saero-yi, to safety. Their cover? A faux reality K-drama TV crew filming in Sausalito and beyond. But the mission’s stakes rise fast as Roni discovers that the defection is only the first move in a dangerous game for global control of telepathic prodigies – a resource as finite as it is volatile.

Cyber Warrior, the third instalment of The Mind Game series, is a taut, intelligent thriller that blends razor-sharp tension with moments of vulnerability and dark humor. Perfect for fans of The Queen’s Gambit and Killing Eve, this novel explores the blurry lines between loyalty and manipulation, the cost of survival, and the bonds that form in the most unexpected places.

When every decision feels like a trap, will Roni have what it takes to outmaneuver her enemies and protect the people she’s come to care about? Or will the mission’s stakes be her undoing?

An espionage mystery thriller for teens and young adults, set in a world of geopolitical conflicts that sits rather closely to our own post-pandemic world.
