Days after winning OASIS founder James Halliday’s contest, Wade Watts makes a discovery that changes everything. Hidden within Halliday’s vaults, waiting for his heir to find it, lies a technological advancement that will once again change the world and make the OASIS a thousand times more wondrous - and addictive - than even Wade dreamed possible. With it comes a new riddle, and a new quest - a last Easter egg from Halliday, hinting at a mysterious prize. And an unexpected, impossibly powerful, and dangerous new rival awaits, one who’ll kill millions to get what he wants.

Heartbreakingly Disappointing and Insulting

Not as good as one but still enjoyable and fun
Revisado: 10-06-22
Often the second book/season is the hardest because the original concept is spent. This is especially true of iconic works. I knew that it would not be "Read Player One" but I'd heard all the negative stuff but in general this was a great. He could have done more with the underlying concepts but it gives him material for "Ready Player Three". It was a real pleasure to revisit the characters from the first book and given them a new view. The "Prince" and "John Hughes" quests were a little long. I really liked it and if you understand the limitations on a sequel then read this book it's a lot of fun. If you want your inner nerd to remember past teen culture then this book hits the spot.

Historia
Felix Castor is a freelance exorcist, and London is his stomping ground. It may seem like a good ghostbuster can charge what he likes and enjoy a hell of a lifestyle, but there's a risk: sooner or later he's going to take on a spirit that's too strong for him. When Castor accepts a seemingly simple ghost-hunting case at a museum in the shadowy heart of London, what should have been a perfectly straightforward exorcism is rapidly turning into the Who Can Kill Castor First Show, with demons and ghosts all keen to claim the big prize.

Surprisingly enjoyable occult noir
Revisado: 02-01-22
After seeing "Girl with all the gifts", I added this to my wish list and when it went on sale I picked it up. In a genera with lots of pulp this was a nice surprise. He built a nice start to a series, with a good universe, it does show is comic book roots with the style but the story was kept me reading. If you are looking for a good read which will keep you turning pages its good.

He expands the universe from the first book so well. The view from a grafter made for a great counterpoint. If you liked The Rook this one is a must.

Great first 20 hours then fair for the next 10
Revisado: 07-04-19
There are really three books and to novella in this book. The first book is a premise of how to digitize and simulate a human brain is excellent in implementation and story line. The novella on fake news is really the best part of the book. It deals with current political and social problems that are spot on for the modern age. The second book building a virtual second afterlife with its religious overtones is good for dealing with the issues such a world both real and physical. The last book is Tolkien like and a little long. Great books. Decimate read

Historia
In 2204, humanity is expanding into the wider galaxy in leaps and bounds. Cutting-edge technology of linked jump gates has rendered most forms of transportation - including starships - virtually obsolete. Every place on Earth, every distant planet humankind has settled, is now a step away from any other. And all seems wonderful - until a crashed alien spaceship of unknown origin is found on a newly located world 89 light-years from Earth, carrying a cargo as strange as it is horrifying. To assess the potential of the threat a high-powered team is dispatched to investigate. But one of them may not be all they seem....

A good start to a new series, with a cliffhanger ending. The book is a little confusing with its three timelines. Too Westworld in concept.

Historia
Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever, and headaches. But for the unlucky one percent - and nearly five million souls in the United States alone - the disease causes "Lock In": Victims fully awake and aware, but unable to move or respond to stimulus. The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge.

Very good set of four novellas
Revisado: 10-25-18
"Loaded" was truly terrifying since it could be so real. So hard to listen too but because it was do terrifying. I understand the political problems people have with it but it is a balanced story with a point neither one way or the other. "Rain" was great too. A classic sci-fi terror. "Aloft" was weakest. Will Weaton made "Snapshot" with a great performance.

Historia
It's difficult to imagine a nation with a history more compelling for Americans than Russia. Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, this was the nation against which we measured our own nation's values and power and with whom war, if it ever came, could spell unimaginable catastrophe for our planet.Yet many Americans have never had the opportunity to study Russia in depth, and to see how the forces of history came together to shape a future so different from the dreams of most ordinary Russian people, eager to see their nation embrace Western values of progress, human rights, and justice.
