Only four can be trusted...   In the 21st century, information is king. But computers can be hacked and files can be broken into - so a unique government initiative has been born. Five ordinary people have been selected to become Minders - the latest weapon in thwarting cyberterrorism. Transformed by a revolutionary medical procedure, the country's most classified information has been taken offline and turned into genetic code implanted inside their heads.  Together, the five know every secret - the truth behind every government lie, conspiracy theory and cover up. In return, they're given the chance to leave their problems behind and a blank slate to start their lives anew.   But not everyone should be trusted, especially when they each have secrets of their own they'll do anything to protect...   _________________________'Marrs is brilliant at twists and for the addicts of adrenaline-fuelled twisty rides' PETER JAMES'One of the most exciting, original thriller writers out there. I never miss one of his books' SIMON KERNICK_________________________  'Gripping! It's so incredibly intense; a twisted roller coaster so fast-paced you literally cannot move or attempt to do anything else. John Marrs has a unique formula and it's magnificent. This storyline of shocks, thrills and intensity. It's not only fascinating but overwhelmingly frightening too.'- Totally Booked'A total delight. A hugely enthralling thriller, I will read more John Marrs, as he's one not to be missed from now on in my bookish world.' - What Do I Read Now?'It's not far-fetched, it's so close you can almost touch it. The hunt was merciless. It was breath-taking, delivered with punchy and pacey chapters. John Marrs knows how to throw punches! The Minders is an absolute belter of a book. John Marrs is a genius writer who reeled me in again with an addictive, more-real than real, edge-of-your-seat and twisty tale of what might await us sooner than we think.' - Chocolate'n' Waffles;  448 pages; Published: 17\/09\/2020\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9781529100655\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cornerstone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56457129394558,"sku":"9781529100655","price":19.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/1298\/0350\/files\/9781529100655.jpg?v=1761333635","url":"https:\/\/it-book.co.uk\/products\/9781529100655","provider":"IT-Book","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
