Cynetic Wolf

By: Matt Ward

Narrated by: David Akiva Klionsky

It's 2096, 60 years after 90 percent died from a man-made Bioplague. Humanity has splintered into four unequal subspecies: Immortals, cyborgs, enhancers, and subservient half-human, half-animal hybrids.

The world is anything but equal. Hybrids everywhere are suffering, but 16year-old Raek Mekorian, a wolfish with a nose for trouble, doesn’t see an alternative. Except the Resistance, who don’t stand a chance against the world government. His mom always said, “Keep your head down”.

And he does, until his sister is murdered by a pair of cyborgs. Overnight, his simple life is shattered, fracturing the rigid governmental caste as he is thrust into the dangerous world of superhuman hit squads, Resistance uprisings, and secrets better left unsaid.

With only built-in blasters and the advice of a mysterious professor, Raek must navigate crushing betrayal, self-doubt, and a limitless enemy whose evil knows no bounds.

The fate of mankind may rest in his hands.

Cynetic Wolf is best-selling author Matt Ward's YA dystopian sci-fi debut and features bloody immortality, post-apocalyptic progress, and gene editing that splinters the very fabric of society. If you like dark technothrillers, fast-paced adventure, and surprising sci-fi, are a fan of Divergent, Red Rising, or the Hunger Games, or love dystopia classics like the Handmaid’s Tale, Brave New World, and Ender’s Game, you’ll love this speculative fiction thriller.

Packed!" (The Lily Cafe)

A 16 yr old boy pushed to be a Revolutionary

This young boy/man has no idea how his whole life is going to change with the 3 different groups in this world. I feel sorry for this main character he is put in a position he does not want and he has so much self recrimination for all the deaths that happen because of this..

Locked & Loaded

Matt Ward has written an interesting and dystopic novel in which the action is pretty much non-stop throughout the whole book. I found the world that he created to be innovative and imaginative. On the whole, I was entertained by the story line of how Raek Mekorian goes from being an average teenager to a member of a resistance movement; however, there were times when Raek's decisions and actions were things that I would expect from someone older than sixteen. In spite of that, I recommend this book to those who love this genre and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. David Akiva Klionsky's narration was great as he provided different voices for the various characters. I requested this audiobook from Audiobooks Unleashed and have voluntarily left this review.

Gripping

Very much enjoyed this fast-paced story and the world it's set in--an interesting dystopian society with different races up against one another. I was gripped pretty much right from the beginning, all the way to the end and I'd be happy to read a sequel to this too!

Excellent story!

This was a first for me by this author. It was action packed and will pull at your heartstrings. So much for one person to handle at a young age but he prevailed and did what he had to do. Can’t wait to see what becomes of him. It did take me a few chapters to adjust to the narrator but overall he did a good job.

creative futuristic writing

wow!!! what an amazing imagination this author has to really bring the characters to life. a must read.
Gene mutation, futuristic and creative adventure writing.
