Blurb:

Flesh comes cheap in a machine world.

Doctor Rick Stenslandt has always advocated against the fusion of man and machine. But after a near-fatal accident, he is forced to accept ocular implants or go blind, end up unemployed, and without social status.

But something goes wrong. Now he remembers people he has never met before—influential members of the corporate elite that governs the world. And they have all been murdered.

Worse, it seems he’s the next target.

On the run from the police and a pair of augmented assassins, Rick seeks refuge in the infamous alleys of the megacity. But to protect the ones he loves, he cannot hide forever. Now he must figure out his borrowed memories and his connection to the victims, before it’s too late.

Trigger Warning: mention of prostitution. Moderate violence.

Audience: Adult


My Review:


Just about everyone around Doctor Rick Stenslandt are getting new body parts, robotic machine parts but Rick has always been against this. Well that is until the day he is in an accident that leaves him blind. Even then Rick wants no part of the new implants. But if he doesn’t accept the new eye implants then he will be blind and will lose his job and maybe his family.

Rick’s wife Erica informs that she does not want to lose her status in life and refuses to move down the ladder so to speak. The only way they can stay on top is if he accepts the implants so he can keep his job and his family.

Rick soon learns that he is being hunted and that someone is trying to kill him for what he has no idea. He is having nightmares and memories that he doesn’t understand. He is having memories of people dying and he may be next.

Rick sends his family into hiding to keep them safe. He tells Erica to take their children and go away and not to tell him where and when he finds who is trying to kill him and everything is over he will find them.

Through Stranger Eyes is a very thrilling and intense read that will keep the pages turning racing through chapter after chapter following Rick and seeing the world through his eyes as he runs around trying to find out who is hunting him and why.

Rick is a man who loves his family very much and fights real hard to stay alive and to keep them alive. He doesn’t just sit around waiting for the police to do their job no he jumps in with both feet trying to find out the truth and what about what is happening to him. All he wants is to be with his family and to take care of them and give them want ever they desire and to be left alone so he can lead a normal life just like anyone else.

If you like thriller books that are set in a futuristic scifi world then you are going to love Through Stranger Eyes.
