See all formats and editions

Cutter Dunn was born a ghost. Unchipped and unregistered, he exists as a nonperson, living off-the-grid, unrecognized by the facial recognition software built into every smart glass device that provides everyone with everything they want and need. According to the official system, he doesn't even exist.

He has the skills and out-of-the-box perspective to design the nuts-and-bolts mechanism for the next generation of driverless shipping vehicles. He's also the kind of person that a massively wealthy and corrupt corporation can exploit and make disappear. And that was their big mistake.

Because Cutter knows they can't track what they can't trace. And they won't know what he's planning until it hits them.

Burnout is a new stand-alone science fiction thriller by masters of storytelling, Sean Platt and Johnny B. Truant. If you like movies like Falling Down and Snatch, then you'll love Burnout.

I can't say that I couldn't put it down but it was difficult to stop for sleep and work. Finished in less than a day by picking up the story at every opportunity. Left me wondering if I own the technology or it owns me.

5.0 out of 5 stars exciting ride

This was a very fun and fast paced read.
An original action-thriller with a bit of economics and politics thrown in.
The characters were well done, not stereotypical, well written and likable.
This is more of a relaxing and entertaining read than is usual from these authors, less is asked of the reader than usual, but I recommend it.
Also, make sure you have some time available, it pulls you in quickly and hard enough that it’s probable you will read the whole book in one sitting.
Enjoy

5.0 out of 5 stars A very different dystopian novel.

A likeable and credible hero. A disturbingly feasible scenario where big business actually, if covertly, runs the country. Will the little man win ?

4.0 out of 5 stars the near future??

I think the most disturbing thing about this book just might be that I could see the potential for the society depicted within to become a reality. In the future the world is mostly all technologically interconnected. People are chipped, facial recognition is everywhere, and cash money is rather archaic. But there are those that don’t fully embrace this ‘brave new world’, those that live ‘off the grid’ aka ghosts. Cutter Dunn is just such a man, a ghost. He’s brilliant in his own way, understands things that so many that have embraced this controlled/automated society seem to have forgotten. Cutter has skills, he’s a man who thinks outside the box, colors outside the lines. Skills that could prove valuable to the right people—powerful people—at least for a while. And as a ghost no one would miss him, right? He’d be disposable, right? Don’t tell Cutter that. Burnout is a tight thriller featuring an engaging hero, an excellent story, and a disturbing look at a possible future.

I’d like to thank Sterling & Stone and NetGalley for the chance to read and review an eARC of Burnout.

An incredible story that takes a lot of unexpected twists and turns. You just have to keep your head on a swivel! I loved the characters and their interactions with Corporate America as well as their eventual understanding of their own imprisonment! I hope that our future isn't quite that bleak! Great read!
