Summary

It's 2096, 60 years after 90 percent died from a man-made Bioplague. Humanity has splintered into four unequal subspecies: Immortals, cyborgs, enhancers, and subservient half-human, half-animal hybrids.

The world is anything but equal. Hybrids everywhere are suffering, but 16year-old Raek Mekorian, a wolfish with a nose for trouble, doesn’t see an alternative. Except the Resistance, who don’t stand a chance against the world government. His mom always said, “Keep your head down”.

And he does, until his sister is murdered by a pair of cyborgs. Overnight, his simple life is shattered, fracturing the rigid governmental caste as he is thrust into the dangerous world of superhuman hit squads, Resistance uprisings, and secrets better left unsaid.

With only built-in blasters and the advice of a mysterious professor, Raek must navigate crushing betrayal, self-doubt, and a limitless enemy whose evil knows no bounds.

The fate of mankind may rest in his hands.

Cynetic Wolf is best-selling author Matt Ward's YA dystopian sci-fi debut and features bloody immortality, post-apocalyptic progress, and gene editing that splinters the very fabric of society. If you like dark technothrillers, fast-paced adventure, and surprising sci-fi, are a fan of Divergent, Red Rising, or the Hunger Games, or love dystopia classics like the Handmaid’s Tale, Brave New World, and Ender’s Game, you’ll love this speculative fiction thriller.

entertaining." (The Bookwormery)

Packed!" (The Lily Cafe)

An interesting read

Thus book had a very interesting plot point however the narrator's accent was distracting at times and at some points led me to leaving the book on hold for a few days however the story was good enough that i could manage to bypass that.

Great action with deep thought

I started this book thinking it would be shallow. It quickly became a very exciting and thoughtful book. The young boy made many mistakes and was unsure of himself, but he was only 16 so that is understandable. He quickly had to learn to survive and to take responsibility not only for his actions but also for the results of those actions. He spends a lot of time learning and making connections with others in his attempt to provide his people with the dignity they deserve.

The narrator does an outstanding job making this book come to life.

I look forward to the following adventures.

So different

I enjoyed listening to David Akiva Kilonsky, he made it a wonderful listen and I felt brought the characters and plot to life.

This book is different to any that I have listened to before. And I have to say I enjoyed it. Matt Wards's imagination is amazing.

We have a great story, full of strong and different range of characters. I found myself captivated and found the plot , kept me wanting to listening to.

I highly recommending this book.

Action packed and fast paced

Wow I really enjoyed this story. A good writer with great imagination and world building. Thought provoking. Good young adult book, maybe a little gory for younger readers. It had me actually moved to tears at the end. Looking forward to the next instalment, but works well as a stand alone book also.

A deep, exciting and engrossing scifi adventure.

Dystopian settings and cyberpunk are very commonplace settings now and it is very hard to find anything new and original but with his hybrids Matt Ward has done it.

While I don't think it was every specifically explained how they came to be, it appears that during a bioplague over 50 years previously killed off the majority of the human race, humans created hybrids between man and animals as well as cybernetics to overcome the illness but this has led to many different species and the tale revolves around Raek, a half wolf cyborg who is one of the many lower-class hybrids relegated to the slums of the world.

Through matters beyond his control, he is drawn into an uprising against the status quo when those he loves are taken and this leads him to working with an assortment of different groups and the scope of the world's injustice is laid bare and the world-building is revealed in all its glory.

The problem is, mid-way through the tale, so many of the case start dying and we seem to stumble from one battle to another and it all becomes a little overbearing and I found it hard to care about the wider-cast as there was always the sense that they'd be killed in one of the many (frankly spectacular) action sequences.

With such a big cast, it was a little confusing at times keeping track of all the cast but David Akiva Klionsky did a fantastic job of bringing a sense of identity to them all and in particular Raek who, from his first scene to the end, I was captivated by.

Ending as it did I'm unsure if I will continue with the series but I am glad I read this and did enjoy it for the most part but whether I do or not I will remain impressed by the world Matt Ward has created.

Fun

I liked the story line and enjoyed the story, but it took me a while to warm to the narrator.
I would have liked more descriptions on characters to help visualise them. Otherwise it was an enjoyable read.
