The Human Blend is a science-fiction adventure centered around a group of thieves living in a future in which physical alterations and enhancements are a common occurrence. If you could take on a body with any features you wanted, what would it look like? And what would you do with them - human or otherwise?

Given his name because radical surgery and implants have reduced him to preternatural thinness, Whispr is a thug. His partner in crime, Jiminy Cricket, has also been physically altered with nanocarbonic prosthetic legs and high-strength fast-twitch muscle fibers that give him great jumping abilities. In a dark alley in Savannah, Whispr and Jiminy murder what they take to be a random tourist in order to amputate and then fence his sophisticated artificial hand. But the hapless victim also happens to be carrying an unusual silver thread that appears to be some kind of storage medium....

Looking forward to sequels. Became more and more involved in the mystery while becoming unable to solve

Loved the book!

Any additional comments?

It's bad enough to end Book 1 in a cliffhanger. What makes it particularly galling is that Book 2 is not even available. Are you suggesting we buy the print version if we want to continue the story?

What happened to Book 2?

This was a great listen. Well narrated and kept you thinking as well as guessing all the way through. I am patiently waiting for the second book in the series and it can't come soon enough for me. Definately recomended.

Very well done and excellently narrated...loved it

This looks like the start of an interesting series. It's kinda like a Borg spy novel. I give it a 4½. One of the characters is also interesting; a cold blooded murderer with a heart of gold. The author seems to be doing his best to depict him as a sympathedic character; but, I can't help wondering, 'Who mourns Lefty?'
