What to expect

Set in the same world as the extraordinary Mindwalker, Mindbreaker is an action packed young adult science fiction novel asking: what would you sacrifice to survive?

They saved her life. But at what cost?

Born into a religious, anti-tech cult, seventeen-year-old Indra lives a simple, mod-free existence on the fringe of society. But when an illicit trip to the city leaves her with a debilitating - and terminal - condition, Indra must make a choice: die faithful, or betray her Order and accept the cure Glindell Technologies is offering.

Forced to sign over full ownership of her life, Indra is horrified to learn how Glindell chose to save her mind and body. On the outside, she still looks the same. On the inside, Indra's not so sure. She's missing time, for one thing, and more than once, she finds herself in places she really shouldn't be, with no memory of how she got there and abilities she can't explain.

So when news breaks of a vicious attack against Glindell's biggest rival, Indra begins to suspect the worst about her new master. With help from her one friend at the company, Tian - a research assistant with a genius IQ and a smile that won't quit - Indra manages to escape the lab. Then together with the anti-corp faction she and Tian turn to for help, Indra must uncover the truth behind the procedure that saved her life, before Glindell can use it to change the face of technology - and what it means to be human - forever.

Critics Review

**PRAISE FOR MINDBREAKER**

Witty dialogue, compelling themes, tense action, a determined protagonist – Dylan has taken all these, soaked them in neon, and shaken them into a dystopian thriller that fizzes with energy and rebellion

Samantha Shannon, bestselling author of The Bone Season and The Priory of the Orange Tree

Witty, gritty, and vicious fun. It’s a tour de force in visual storytelling, and brings out the nuances of consent and autonomy in a digital world. I also loved the heart-pounding, edge of seat action sequences that felt like they were straight out of a movie (honestly, they should make one), and I read it so fast my head is still spinning.

Hannah Kaner, Sunday Times bestselling author of Godkiller

A frenzied feat of genius. Dylan is an auto-buy author for me, her writing always promises an invigorating ride at breakneck speed — MINDBREAKER is no exception. An electric plot is interspersed with touching moments of resilience from a magnetic cast of characters, whose stupid decisions still have you rooting for more. Oh and it’s queer. Need I say anything else?

Saara El-Arifi, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Battle Drum

Mindbreaker is everything you want in a cyberpunk thriller: sharp writing, explosive pacing, and hard-hitting questions about tech and AI. It’s like reading a Marvel blockbuster in book form

L.R. Lam, Sunday Times Bestselling author of Dragonfall and False Hearts

Kate Dylan takes tech, dogma, and corporate power, wraps it in a dystopian wasteland and delivers an explosive, high body count, white knuckle ride

A. Y. Chao, Sunday Times bestselling author of Shanghai Immortal

High stakes, fast paced, and utterly unputdownable. Mindbreaker is an imaginative thrill ride through a world of cults and Big Tech, spearheaded by a girl who redefines what it means to be human. Fans of Mindwalker will not be disappointed by this triumphant return to Dylan’s complex but accessible sci-fi universe

M. K. Lobb, Sunday Times Bestselling author of Seven Faceless Saints

** PRAISE FOR KATE DYLAN **

Mindwalker is here to grab you by the throat and pitch you head first into the thrill ride of a lifetime

Kat Dunn, author of Dangerous Remedy

Utterly enthralling with no time to catch your breath

Saara El-Arifi, author of The Final Strife

Mindwalker is pure adrenaline shot straight into your veins

Jesse Q. Sutanto, bestselling author of The Obsession and Dial A for Aunties

Ridiculously thrilling. Mindwalker is an explosion of everything I love in sci-fi

Claire Winn, author of City of Shattered Light

A vibrant thrill ride from start to finish!

Meg Long, author of Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves

Mindwalker is the fast-paced, smart and surprising sci-fi of your dreams

Sarah Underwood, author of Lies We Sing to the Sea

Sharp as knives and just as dangerous, Mindbreaker is an unmissable dystopian thriller

Tasha Suri, award-winning author of The Burning Kingdoms series
