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 very original book, very refreshing story
There are times when you almost dread starting a book as you wonder if it will be as good as another book from the author and as refreshing as the last book.
Well I shouldn't have worried and the book is as good as I hoped. There is a fairly large amount of backstory to the whole thing but it's truly worthwhile investment as the overall world building is kept to bite sized chunks and lets the story get on with following the main characters.
Narrator is fantastic and the story is even easier to follow thanks to the clearly differentiated voices.

Fantastic Story. Plenty of intrigue to keep me listening
Immersive description of Vietnam and well written story. Intriguing mystery and plenty of action to keep the listener interested. Would make a great movie. Narration was fantastic. Slightly let down by one characters accent but not enough to put me off or distract too much. Will look out for more Napper titles after this one.
