Initiate

Hackers of Artem, Part II

By: Lars Machmüller

Narrated by: Pavi Proczko, Rebecca Woods

Trapped in the web of the corporations, the fight for freedom will be hard.

Bowdoin and his crew have grown in both strength and reach. They have taken on all comers, gangs, corpo, and otherwise, and expanded their domain to include the entirety of their arcology. But they have not avoided entrapment.

Ostensibly, Bowdoin is doing work for hire for the hacker corporation Inside Eye. The reality of it is bleaker than this. The chains may be pretty and invisible to the naked eye, but they are still there.

Any hope their group may have of building a future for themselves freed from the oppression of the powerful corporations of Artem will take a lot of cleverness, guile, and violence.

Good thing fire is such an effective cleaner.

Not bad and not the worst series of Artem

Oshbob and kabutt are the best but this series aint bad either. I haven't seen anything from the series for a while now, but its been a great run.

Hoping for More Artem!

"Initiate: Hackers of Artem" is like getting three stories in one book! I liked how the audiobook had three different stories that were all connected. It made the book exciting because there was always something new happening. The people in the book, the characters, are really good too. I cared about what happened to them.

In this book, I thought the special powers people get from changing their bodies were more important than in the first book. It wasn't just something they had; it really changed what they could do and what happened in the story. That made the book even more interesting.

It was good to see one of the big stories from the last book end in this one. It felt like things were finished. But I really hope there will be another book in this series! If you liked the first book and want to read more about cool characters and a futuristic world that keeps changing, you should listen to "Initiate." It's a fun audiobook!
