About this listen

From bestselling and award-winning author Brendan Deneen comes Tracer, a fast-paced sci-fi romance adventure that sends one mercenary on a dangerous mission across a postapocalyptic landscape. Perfect for fans of Mad Max and Blade Runner.

In the near future—after a virus has swept the globe and oil has run dry—what’s left of humanity has created a new technology, one that turns plastic back into oil. A mad scramble for resources ensues, with new cities being built on the seven largest landfills in the world. Plastic is the new gold.

Tracer is the adopted daughter and hired gun for the president of PH City—built outside of what used to be Los Angeles, atop the Puente Hills Landfill. When a distress call comes from the landfill city outside of Las Vegas, the president of PH sends Tracer to answer it.

But Trace soon discovers this mission is more than she bargained for, and that a dangerous deal has been struck without her knowledge, sending her further down a complex and violent path …

Without spoilers, I loved a lot to do with this book. The story, the characters, the world.

Tracer was such a fantastic character and the journey and growth she goes on in the book had me coming back for more. I got the Kindle and the audiobook in a bundle, and I listened to the audio and was done in 2-days. Headphones on and just loving it.

I struggle sometimes with audio depending on the narrator, but Candace Fitzgerald was just fantastic at the characters, her tone wasn’t monotonous. It fluctuated perfectly in tone with the dialogue and the narrative side of the story.

This is the second Brendan Deneen book I’ve read. The first being Alien: Uncivil War (Highly recommend that too).

I’d honestly love to return to this world and learn more about it. It kind of gave me Furiosa meets Blade Runner feels.

First book of 2026 and it was a banger!
