The cover reminded me of a prime video film advert, but the actual audio was good. I’m always on the look out for decent techno thrillers and grabbed this one once I saw it pop us on NetGalley. I liked the premise of the audio and that always makes or breaks a technothriller, this one was good. I’ve reccomend to the scifi girlies in my book club

Not a great fan of SF but have to admit that BITS didn’t just grab me, it gripped me by the throat and didn’t let go until the final lines of the last chapter.

Not that often I get to ponder what it is to be human; or what it is to be alive, but BITS will make you question your thoughts and beliefs.

It did mine….!

In a nutshell this novel is not just about what it is to be human and alive but what would happen if we could control and interfere with these premises.

It is a very brave Author that will take on life, death and artificial intelligence, but in my humble opinion C J Kichuk absolutely nails it.

BITS is a very well written novel and has the potential to be a best seller. Not sure if this is a first novel but whatever, i am looking forward to the follow up.

I was extremely lucky to get an ARC (audio version) from Netgalley via Victory editing. If you get the chance to read this novel then buy, borrow or sell a child to afford it, but whatever, read it.

If you do happen to get the audio book version then you are in for a treat……… well almost. The Irish accent is ….. well, it ranges from Welsh to Indian to the most northern Inuit. Quite the worst Irish accent ever but the rest of the audio book is spot on and most enjoyable.

Wow, what an exhilarating ride! From the very first page, 'Bits' seizes you with action and doesn’t let up until the very last moment. I listened to the audio version, and the pace was absolutely relentless, keeping me completely hooked as the story unfolded with each gripping scene.

The author’s narration adds a dynamic layer, making it easy to immerse yourself in the world he's crafted. However, while his storytelling is excellent, his attempts at different character accents don’t quite hit the mark. Though this isn't a major drawback, listeners who are particularly sensitive to accent work might find it slightly distracting at times.

Word of advice: do not start this book late at night—unless you're prepared for an all-nighter! Once you're in, there's no turning back. A thrilling, action-packed experience that’s an absolute must-read for any action fan!

Excellent writing and narration by the author (I listened to the audiobook). Great, strong characters, AI theories and applications. So much going on over Clayton’s life and career. Cannot recommend this book highly enough.
