À propos de cet audio
Corporate warfare. Human augmentation. Buckle up for a wild ride!
Enjoy the complete 6-book collection of this internationally best-selling series as a single bundle audio.
There's a corporate cabal that wants to rule the world. Some might say it has been doing it already for decades by whatever means necessary. But they are no longer content to hide in the shadows. They want to become true masters. Jason Hunt knows nothing about that world. But when his wife becomes ill, he finds himself pitted against the cabal that might hold the key to her survival. To save her, he needs to embrace technology he doesn't understand, take over a billion-dollar company without a billion dollars, outsmart professional assassins, and land a contract with the DOD. But even that might not be enough.

From the Author: I love science fiction in general and cyberpunk in particular. There are, of course, thousands of great cyberpunk books and movies, from William Gibson's Neuromancer and The Matrix to many wonderful indie novels and films. But I've always been fascinated with how we get from today's world to the world of garish neon lights and deadly cyborgs. The world where corporations more powerful than any government are battling each other under the "sky the color of television tuned to a dead channel." The Upgrade series explores just that. Enjoy the ride.
©2024 Wesley Cross (P)2025 Wesley CrossThe villains are particularly disappointing — flat, one-dimensional, and never truly menacing. At one point early on, a character suggests a straightforward solution: just take out the antagonists. The series eventually ends by doing exactly that — without complication or consequence — which makes the whole journey feel anticlimactic and underwhelming.
There are some genuinely strong character moments throughout, but they’re undercut by brief, unmemorable action scenes that lack detail and tension. One of the most frustrating aspects is how the main character spends years trying to save his dying wife using advanced nanotechnology and a sentient AI, only for her to have virtually no impact on the conclusion of the story. It’s a glaring missed opportunity that makes the emotional arc feel hollow.
In the end, the series wraps up with a whimper rather than a bang. What could have been a powerful sci-fi saga instead feels like a case of wasted potential.
