Historia
By the middle of the twenty-first century, the major powers on Earth had fallen into a second Cold War centralized in cyberspace. The US has made considerable strides in artificial intelligence by introducing the first ALICE system to the world. In an effort to catch up, China and Russia pooled their total AI resources, hoping their combined technologies would meet or exceed the American systems.

Another good listen in the series
Revisado: 02-19-25
This book goes back to the series roots with an Earth focused story. It is not as grand in scope as some of the others, but still an enjoyable entry in this series. I look forward to the next

Historia
No one expected Ragnarok. The miles-wide meteor fell from the sky in 2030, taking most of humanity with it. The lucky ones took refuge in the Bunkers. The unlucky ones had to deal with the meteor's aftermath...and the alien virus it unleashed. Now, that virus is evolving, creating an army of mutants and monsters, mixing Earth genetics with something...not Earth. As humanity struggles in the wastelands of what's left, it might already be too late...unless a band of young heroes can rise up, and fight.

This collection is a good adventure. It is a nice mixture of sci-fi and fantasy with it's own unique flavor; well worth a listen.

Worth your time
Revisado: 05-17-23
This is one of the more unique stories I've read/heard in a while. It weaves an intricate tale across time (continued in the rest of this excellent series), alternating between traditional story telling and a National Geographic documentary feel. The series plays with interesting concepts and themes that will leave you pondering and philosophizing after, as only an excellent story can.

Earth failed. In a desperate bid to escape, the spaceship Enkidu and its captain, Heorest Holt, carried its precious human cargo to a potential new paradise. Generations later, this fragile colony has managed to survive, eking out a hardy existence. Yet life is tough, and much technological knowledge has been lost. Then strangers appear. They possess unparalleled knowledge and thrilling technology–and they've arrived from another world to help humanity’s colonies. But not all is as it seems, and the price of the strangers' help may be the colony itself.

We are going on an adventure
Revisado: 05-17-23
This entry can best be described as a psychedelic (and philosophical) adventure that will leave you thinking about the little questions of life (answer: 42) and consciousness for a while after. It is well worth a listen, though this entry does require more concentration and provokes more reflection than the other excellent entries in this series.
After this (and the previous book), the phrase "going on an adventure" is going to resonate for a while.

The attention trap
Revisado: 05-17-23
An excellent listen that I was singularly unable to stop listening to. It is a unique and compelling story with excellent world (or universe) building and narration.
While this story does come to a satisfying conclusion, I hope the author writes a sequel in the future to continue the wider story.

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

You won't want to pause this one until it's done
Revisado: 09-03-22
This production is a must listen for any sci-fi fan. The story, narration, and production are all exceptional making for a story that's hard to stop until it's done. It follows in the best traditions of Asimov and Clarke, while weaving a unique story with a satisfying dose of real science, The story ends in a satisfying way, yet leaves things open for a sequel that I hope Andy Weir chooses to write.
The narration of this story is perfect, and the audio production is among the best I've listened to. It includes some simple sound effects that add perfectly to the story without being distracting, and also leaves the perfect pause between scenes for transitions to feel natural and deliberate, instead of forced or unintentionally missing as in many other productions.

Historia
On the Ark, a colonyship bound outward across the stars, not everyone is a volunteer - or even human. Lovelock is a capuchin monkey engineered from conception to be the perfect servant: intelligent, agile, and devoted to his owner. He is a "witness", privileged to spend his days and nights recording the life of one of Earth’s most brilliant scientists via digital devices implanted behind his eyes. But Lovelock is something special among witnesses. He’s a little smarter than most humans: smart enough to break through some of his conditioning, smart enough to feel the bonds of slavery - and want freedom.

Revisado: 03-25-22
My only complaint is that this is considered the first book in a planned trilogy that will likely never be completed. That said, the story does conclude at a satisfying enough point.

Lanik Mueller is a "rad" - radical regenerative - a freak who can regenerate injured flesh...and trade extra body parts to the Offworld oppressors for iron. On a planet without hard metals, or the means of escape, iron offers the promise of freedom through the chance to build a spacecraft. But it is a promise which may never be fulfilled, as Lanik uncovers a treacherous conspiracy beyond his imagination.

Excellent standalone story
Revisado: 03-19-22
Enders Game may be his most famous book, but it is far from his best. This is an excellent standalone story, with clear echoes of the styles and stories that show up in his later novels. If you liked Speaker for the Dead and it's sequels in Enders saga, you'll like this one.

Excellent performance
Revisado: 01-18-22
This was a very well done audio play, providing a nice new take on the traditional audio book.
In particular, I like the musical interludes to mark transitions between scenes, though they could've been a tad shorter.

Historia
A towering genius who'd already solved the problem of death by making memory recording possible, Cassia leads a team of scientists and problem solvers to a station floating in the harsh winds of Saturn. Their mission: to grow interstellar ships using nanobots in the planet's material-rich environment. She called them "monsters" to help sell the project to a skeptical public. Little did she know how prophetic that name would become.

A great listen
Revisado: 09-01-21
This was a well written and performed story, taking a unique spin on the concept of how humanity may explore the stars in the future.
The following may be a potential spoiler if you've already read it, but this book feels almost like a prequel to another series I just read, Isaac Hooke's AI fleet.
