Publisher's Summary
Altered Carbon and The Wind-Up Girl meet Apocalypse Now in this fast-paced, intelligent, action-driven cyberpunk, probing questions of memory, identity, and the power of narratives.
Lin “The Silent One” Vu is a gangster and sometime private investigator living in Chinese-occupied Hanoi, in the steaming, paranoid alleyways of the 36 Streets. Born in Vietnam, raised in Australia, everywhere she is an outsider.
Through grit and courage Lin has carved a place for herself in the Vietnamese underworld where Hanoi’s crime boss, Bao Nguyen, is training her to fight and lead. Bao drives her hard; on the streets there are no second chances. Meanwhile the people of Hanoi are succumbing to Fat Victory - a dangerously addictive immersive simulation of the US-Vietnam war.
When an Englishman comes to Hanoi on the trail of his friend’s murderer, Lin’s life is turned upside down. She is drawn into the grand conspiracies of the neon gods - of regimes and mega-corporations - as they unleash dangerous new technologies.
Lin must confront the immutable moral calculus of unjust wars. She must choose: family, country, or gang. Blood, truth, or redemption. No choice is easy on the 36 Streets.

A fitting successor to William Gibson
A great read of a dark cyberpunk future, based in Australia and Asia, it focuses on belonging and identity

Loved it
I thought this was great. Hard fast twisted tale. Totally a future we could envisage. Yeah the voice acting was slightly out- I’ll agree with others that tones /voices given were odd choice for what I had a vision of in my head

Futuristic War Story
Lin Vu has a foul mouth. The word "Fuck'" is used to frequently. People have all sorts of implants in their heads. The Chinese are ruling Vietnam and Lin is being trained to take over the gang she runs with. Great narration.

Read well but hard to fathom
The story seems disjointed and doesn’t seem to get anywhere. I tried to make sense of the book for over an hour but gave up. Not my style i guess, Thanks anyway. Cheers

This was a slog - struggled to finish.
I loved the concept. I love dystopian, futuristic, techno-fueled sci-fi stories... but this jumped all over the place. The descriptions were repetitive, I could almost hear what the narrator was going to say next - not to mention that the story and it's outcome was overall predictable.
It was hard to follow, not at all helped by the voice acting. Why the most feminine "voices" were used by the narrator for male characters was beyond me.
I often found myself going "wait, that's a man??" because the picture in my head (created in part by the voice) didn't match the pronouns used.
I still don't know if "Mosquito Brother" was male or female, or if the protagonist was gay.
I have a thing about finishing books - but I almost gave up on this by the first chapter.
