Sins & Paradise

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Ten software developers. One company retreat in paradise. A rainforest that keeps score.

Xenon Hardware has just shipped the most powerful graphics card on the market, and the team that built it is rewarded with a trip to Costa Rica's Arenal Volcano — ziplines, waterfalls, and a few days to forget about code. By sunset on the first day, one of them is dead, the shuttles are gone, and the only guide willing to lead them out of the jungle is a toucan with a broken beak.

Then the locals explain the rules. The rainforest judges anger, lies, lust, desire, lawlessness, murder, and a lack of forgiveness. Commit a sin inside its borders and you may never leave. A jaguar named Bruno makes sure of it.

As the team pushes deeper, the jungle stops behaving like a jungle. A lakeside village with no people. Mirrors that show no reflection. A locked cottage that shouldn't exist. For a group of engineers, the pattern is unmistakable — someone has written this place, and they've been embedded in the code. To get home they'll have to debug reality itself, while their own worst impulses race them to the exit.

Sins & Paradise is a fast-moving tech thriller with the heart of a survival tale: part Jurassic Park, part The Matrix, and a sharp reminder that the most dangerous thing in the rainforest might be what you brought in with you.
