Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine.
This week’s Can’t-Wait offering – Mindwalker by Kate Dylan – release date – 1st September, 2022

BLURB: Eighteen-year-old Sil Sarrah is determined to die a legend. In the ten years she’s been rescuing imperilled field agents for the Syntex Corporation—by commandeering their minds from afar and leading them to safety—Sil hasn’t lost a single life. And she’s not about to start now.
She’s got twelve months left on the clock before the supercomputer grafted to her brain kills her, and she’s hell-bent on using that time to cement her legacy. Sil’s going to be the only Mindwalker to ever pitch a perfect game—even despite the debilitating glitches she’s experiencing. But when a critical mission goes south, Sil is forced to flee the very company she once called home.
Desperate to prove she’s no traitor, Sil infiltrates the Analog Army, an activist faction working to bring Syntex down. Her plan is to win back her employer’s trust by destroying the group from within. Instead, she and the Army’s reckless leader, Ryder, uncover a horrifying truth that threatens to undo all the good Sil’s ever done.
With her tech rapidly degrading and her new ally keeping dangerous secrets of his own, Sil must find a way to stop Syntex in order to save her friends, her reputation—and maybe even herself.
This one sounds like a lot of high-action fun. I am particularly drawn by the fact that young Sil is running out of time before she dies – and that sense of the clock ticking and having unfinished business always produces tension in the best possible way.

Wow, I love the sound of this, Sarah! And it’s funny because I just finished a book with a main character named Sil😁
Ah – that’s a coincidence! Especially as it isn’t a particularly common name:)).
This really sounds like an exciting book. Science fiction can be hit and miss for me, but this sounds like something I would like. I’ll have to check it out.
Thank you, Yvonne. I quite understand your feelings regarding science fiction – it’s a huge genre with all sorts of odd by-ways that can leave readers scratching their heads:). But this one does sound like it will be full of incident and excitement, doesn’t it?
This one has grabbed my attention! I love a good sci-fi read, and you’re right about the tension of impending death and unfinished business. Off to add to my TBR!
I hope you enjoy it, Lisa:)).
