Verity Jane, gifted app whisperer, takes a job as the beta tester for a new product: a digital assistant, accessed through a pair of ordinary-looking glasses. "Eunice", the disarmingly human AI in the glasses, manifests a face, a fragmentary past, and a canny grasp of combat strategy. Realizing that her cryptic new employers don’t yet know how powerful and valuable Eunice is, Verity instinctively decides that it’s best they don’t.

A credible continuation of The Peripheral
Revisado: 12-04-22
Another great story from William Gibson. An exercise in stretching creativity and invention while taking the reader on a fantastic trip through multiple stubs. Highly recommended.

For years, the ancient alien AI known as Skippy (the Magnificent, don’t forget that part) has been able to do one impossible thing after another. What is his secret? It’s simple: 100 percent Grade-A extreme awesomeness. And also because he had never been faced with an opponent of equal power. Until now. This time, he might need a little help from a band of filthy monkeys.

Excellent. Again. And R. C. Bray is, again, the best narrator in the business. This is, yet again, a great romp! With hysterical repartee!

When Dr. Tom More (of Love in the Ruins) is released on parole from state prison, he returns to Feliciana, Louisiana, the parish where he was born and bred, and where he practiced psychiatry before his arrest. Upon arriving, he notices something strange in almost everyone around him: unusual sexual behavior in women patients, a bizarre loss of inhibition, a lack of complexity in speech - even his own wife’s extraordinary success at bridge tournaments, during which her mind seems to function like a computer.

Interesting story, monotone narration?
Revisado: 02-16-22
The story is interesting, it’s my first encounter with Walker Percy, so maybe I am just missing something. I’m afraid I found Mr. Hiller’s narrative style off- putting. I found the native bigotry of the characters offensive, but that’s the point, I guess.

One man—visionary billionaire restaurant chain magnate T. R. Schmidt, Ph.D.—has a Big Idea for reversing global warming, a master plan perhaps best described as “elemental.” But will it work? Ranging from the Texas heartland to the Dutch royal palace in the Hague, from the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas to the sunbaked Chihuahuan Desert, Termination Shock brings together a disparate group of characters from different cultures and continents who grapple with the real-life repercussions of global warming.

The problem with lying about having a super weapon is that the bad guys might believe they have nothing to lose by doing something stupid that both sides will regret. Or, they might just call your bluff. Either way, the Merry Band of Pirates need a plan to deal with the Fallout.

I would have thought that this story line might become old or tiresome, no at all! The story remains fun and interesting and the narration is superb. Well done and thanks for a great ride!

But, some major developments! Another fun and engaging read by Craig Alanson. As we have come to expect, a top notch narration by R.C. Bray! My sole complaint, it is far too short and there’s lots to do yet! Thanks Mr. Alanson and M. Bray, exceptional work, both of you.!

Just when Baron Minalan the Spellmonger figured out there was a slim chance to restore his mind-shattered wife Alya (if he's willing to journey to the undercaverns of Olum Seheri, the lair of Korbal the Necromancer), things start to go awry: not only does Prince Tavard, his unloved liege lord, decide to conduct an official state visit to Sevendor on pilgrimage to the Everfire on the Briga's feast day, but a mysterious seamage appears at his door with an intriguing offer from the Sea Folk who rule Callidore: They want to buy snowstone. An entire mountain of it.

The human soldiers stranded on the planet Paradise have been recruited into an alien legion to do the dirty jobs that the high-tech species won't do. Their first mission is to kick the enemy off a backwater planet no one cares about. It's a simple assignment, except everyone has a hidden agenda, and the planet could become a deathtrap.

Another Rollicking Romp by Alanson
Revisado: 12-11-19
Great! Fun! A romp! This new branch of the Expeditionary Force Saga promises to grow into yet another fully blooming tree! (Yes, sure, I missed Skippy. But, he’s several wormholes away and was unavailable!) Great characters, nice blending of contemporaneous plot lines, great excitement, classic Alanson humor.... altogether a great ride! But, when’s vol 2 of the Mavericks series coming out?
