This may well become a classic sci-fi short story, the great ones wrestle with what it means to be human. This is a great one.

Some special foot action returns for Daddy!
While the last book was a bit slower, this one takes off almost immediately and keeps going. Some questions get answers - which will lead to more questions, some arcs complete, sadness and celebration and more.
This one makes it clear the author was writing (or began writing) with Audiobooks in mind. There is much here that just won't be as good on paper.
I have no idea how Ceryndlegore is actually spelled, but Dinneman does seem to love making Jeff say it.

Finally the series gets good(ish)
Revisado: 03-18-22
The first 3 books should have been 1 book. The next 3 should have been 2 books.
Perhaps Book 7 will not be filled with fluff and repetition? I'm determined to get through this...so we shall see.

Bloated, slow, and bland (why is this so popular?)
Revisado: 01-31-22
We're two books in, and the protagonist is finally getting to the point we knew he would get to in the first 5 chapters of the first book.
if this series was not insanely popular, I would not have the energy to finish. Curiosity of its' popularity is the primary driver for my completing the trilogy at least - because it isn't:
Character development
Plot twists
Deep political intrigue
Unique fantasy elements (magic, creatures, world, e tc.)
if anything, it shows how banal the world would be if reincarnation were true, fate were inescapable, and Good and Evil equal but opposite forces.

Quirky, fun, sci-fi morality tale.
Revisado: 11-09-21
The style reminded me of Douglas Adams - if he were born in an alternate universe as an American.
It was compelling enough that I lost sleep and listened to it every opportunity until I was done. Not that it doesn't have its' flaws - it gets a bit heavy-handed in places - but good narration covers a multitude of sins.

In this controversial and exciting listen, Pollan explores caffeine’s power as the most-used drug in the world - and the only one we give to children (in soda pop) as a treat.

2 Books of Orbital Mechanics with story bits
Revisado: 08-15-19
I'm all for detail, but the characters spend an inordinate amount of time explaining science to other characters: orbital mechanics, biology, low-gravity, statistics...
there's very little storytelling in the story. it drags and drags and drags....
the second half of the second book was good, and then it abruptly ends.

Historia
Belisarius is a quantum man, an engineered Homo quantus who fled the powerful insight of dangerously addictive quantum senses. He found a precarious balance as a con man, but when a client offers him untold wealth to move a squadron of warships across an enemy wormhole, he must embrace his birthright to even try. In fact, the job is so big that he'll need a crew built from all the new sub-branches of humanity. If he succeeds, he might trigger an interstellar war, but success might also point the way to the next step of Homo quantus evolution.

Lies of Locke Lamora + The Universe in a Nutshell
Revisado: 07-05-19
A great con - Oceans 11 in space! But this is far better, richer, and more complex than that comparison.
The con job is an exciting backdrop over which the nature of what it means to be Human is explored.
This is one of my new favorites.
Release the next book already!

Thirteen hundred gates have opened to solar systems around the galaxy. But as humanity builds its interstellar empire in the alien ruins, the mysteries and threats grow deeper. In the dead systems where gates lead to stranger things than alien planets, Elvi Okoye begins a desperate search to discover the nature of a genocide that happened before the first human beings existed and to find weapons to fight a war against forces at the edge of the imaginable. But the price of that knowledge may be higher than she can pay.

The word "Hegemon" changed pronunciation
Revisado: 01-17-19
it was well performed by the same great cast that read Ender's Game. strangely, however, the pronunciation of the word "Hegemon" was in dispute and it seemed like they rushed to overdub it in post production.
the overdub quality was very poor and distracted from the story.
