About This Book
Jonas kills people with his mind—a focused thought, a flash of pain behind the eyes, and his target drops dead from a hole no one can explain. It's a tidy arrangement, until the mission to avenge his parents pulls him into something far messier and more dangerous than a one-man shadow war. At Jonas's side is Bubbles, a sarcastic AI caught somewhere between wanting to be human and wanting to be a serial killer—possibly both. When a woman named Madee stumbles into their orbit, the story shifts from isolated revenge thriller into something rawer and more volatile: a collision of broken people, lethal skill sets, and consequences that spiral well beyond anyone's control.
Robinson writes with a propulsive, almost reckless energy that keeps Mind Bullet moving even when it's doing something emotionally unexpected. The book balances dark humor and genuine stakes without letting either undercut the other—a tonal tightrope Robinson walks with practiced ease. At 441 pages, it earns its length through character rather than padding, and the Bubbles-Jonas dynamic alone delivers the kind of off-kilter chemistry that lingers well after the final chapter.
