Book Review :
This book is the second
book in the “Mindwalker” Series by A J Steiger, but can be read as a standalone
novel as well.
The book starts with
Lain Fisher, who is a young Mindwalker
waking up in hospital bed in IFEN, without remembering any events of the past few months. Lain is confused and suspicious of her surrounding finding herself in the IFEN center with no answers from Dr.
Swan, her mentor who also happens to be her Guardian.
When all of a sudden she
is kidnapped from IFEN by Steven and other Blackcoats who terrorize the IFEN
building. With no memories of the past few months she is unable to understand
the situations around her and when she Finds Ian, her best friend she is
relieved and is notified that this is in fact her rescue mission. When she
lands in Canada and tries to regain her memories, she discovers her true
identity and thus begins the actual journey of freedom and her mission to help
make the United Republic of America an equal country for all individuals with
no type.
Loved the concept and the
take on Type system of differentiating people from one another. The book is
based in a very developed technological era and the concepts of mind walking
and memory erasing are mind-blowing.
The advance technology described in the book had
me hooked and Ian and Lain’s friendship and dedication to change the world
facing all odds is like a ray of hope when someday in the real world someone like
Lain would demolish the discrimination of caste and class and type.
Rating: 4/5 *
