    About this audiobook

    Crime never changes. Punishment does.

    In a time when prisons no longer contain inmates behind concrete and steel, the convicted serve their time while asleep, rehabilitating in virtual reality while blissfully unaware of their crimes.

    Roger Parker is a professional prison breaker, skilled at navigating these strange penal dream worlds and extracting those imprisoned there—for a price. Parker wants out of the game, but a powerful senator, desperate to save his son, convinces Parker to pull one last job. The clincher? An opportunity for Parker to find his wife, herself interned, lost somewhere in a treacherous, time-shifting Manhattan cyberscape.

    As Parker and his team make their hallucinatory journey between worlds, memory and motive lose coherence and integrity, and the clock begins to run out: internal security detects the breaker, and sets out to remove him—permanently.

    Unable to rely on his perceptions, unsure of the truth or even his very identity, will Parker break out…or be broken?

      The stupid decision's made by the characters make the story totally unbelievable and therefore totally non engaging.

      This story is written for 6 year olds

      A budget version of the matrix. Instead of the whole world being a prison it's just Manhattan this time. The plot is made of holes and the plot twist can be seen coming from the moment they first reveal the prison setup. The ending is rushed for some reason, probably on editor's orders. Probably for the best. Nevertheless, if you suspend your disbelief, it's a fun, albeit derivative as hell, idea.
