Acerca de esta escucha
When the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, it's up to six college students and their experimental physics project to prevent the end of civilization.
When an experiment to study quantum uncertainty goes spectacularly wrong, physics student Bill Rustad and his friends find that they have accidentally created an inter-dimensional portal. They connect to Outland - an alternate Earth with identical geology, but where humans never evolved. The group races to establish control of the portal before the government, the military, or evildoers can take it away.
Then everything changes when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts in an explosion large enough to destroy civilization and kill half the planet. The team has just hours to get as many people as possible across to Outland before a lethal cloud of ash overwhelms them.
Nothing has prepared the refugees for what they find - a world of few resources and unprecedented dangers. Somehow, they must learn to survive, because Outland may not just be a safe haven - it could be their new home.

Historia
Jack Kernigan is having a bad day...a bad year...a bad life. After being booted out of MIT, he’s back in his Ohio hometown, working for the family business, facing a life of mediocrity. Then one day, out on a delivery, his truck hits...something. Something big...something furry...something invisible. And, it turns out, something not of this Earth. Fate can play funny tricks. Which is why Jack suddenly finds himself the planet’s best hope to unravel a conspiracy of galactic proportions that could spell the end of the human race.

Historia
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure. The first item on his to-do list: Spending his newfound windfall. On an urge to splurge, he signs up to have his head cryogenically preserved in case of death. Then he gets himself killed crossing the street. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.

Historia
There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

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.

Few know the warship’s actual name. But everyone has heard the rumors. The PUV James Keeling can do something no other vessel in existence can do—slip into another dimension, travel undetected, then re-emerge onto our plane and surprise enemy targets. But the thing that makes the Crypt unique also makes it a nightmare for those onboard; interdimensional travel causes hallucinations, violent behavior, and psychotic breakdowns. Keeling could be the Union’s greatest weapon, a game-changing asset that can defeat the bloodthirsty zealots of the Purist Nation, the Union’s mortal enemy.

At CERN, he analyses data generated by the Large Hadron Collider, the world's biggest and most powerful particle accelerator. Now, Ty believes he's found a pattern in its output. It looks like an organised data stream, being broadcast over what he calls a quantum radio. Could it be a signal from another universe? A message sent from the future? Or something else entirely?

So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

About the Creator

Editor's Pick
We're (not) canceling the Apocalypse!
"When I was a child, my dad dispassionately told me that a shield volcano beneath Yellowstone National Park could erupt in our lifetime, spreading ash that would destroy life in the Midwest as we know it—and that this very shield volcano already caused geysers to spew boiling water hundreds of feet into the air! I was immediately enthralled. So much so, in fact, that we visited Yellowstone National Park the following year. Alas, upon arrival, I was heartbroken (and very confused) to learn that Old Faithful was "under construction." I mean... what?? How could the face of an apocalyptic force be subject to the same repair verbiage as a broken escalator? In my mind, the apocalypse had been canceled. Thankfully, Dennis E. Taylor is here to heal the geyser-sized hole in my inner child’s heart, for this same shield volcano serves as the cataclysmic basis for Outland’s riveting story. Throw in some inter-dimensional portals, hard sci-fi elements, and a new world—then add in Ray Porter’s effortless charisma as narrator—and you’ve got the perfect sci-fi listen for anyone who's ever had their childlike wonderment ruined by everyday pragmatism." —Sean T., Audible Editor

When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

Once upon a time, in the magical land of San Francisco, there lived a not-so-ordinary girl named Laurel Pettigrew. She was supposed to be the Chosen One. The plan was simple: She would vanquish the great evil Tybus in an epic battle. But destiny had other ideas, and Laurel's performance in the whole heroics department was a colossal flop. Now, instead of being a legendary hero, Laurel's the resident pariah of the magic realm. And what’s worse, the dark wizard Tybus swooped in, took over the realm, and forced all supernatural creatures to live under his tyrannical rule.

Historia
Once upon a time, in the magical land of San Francisco, there lived a not-so-ordinary girl named Laurel Pettigrew. She was supposed to be the Chosen One. The plan was simple: She would vanquish the great evil Tybus in an epic battle. But destiny had other ideas, and Laurel's performance in the whole heroics department was a colossal flop. Now, instead of being a legendary hero, Laurel's the resident pariah of the magic realm. And what’s worse, the dark wizard Tybus swooped in, took over the realm, and forced all supernatural creatures to live under his tyrannical rule.

Thoroughly Entertaining
Really takes its time. Taylor goes into the logistics of project planning much like he does in Bobiverse which I really enjoy.
Characters go out of their way not to be dumb cliches just to progress the plot which was so refreshing.
Only issue : I thought the first coffee "joke" was jarring and forced. The following 50 were progressively worse. Some people liking coffee is not funny.

It Seems Like Only Yesterday
My, how time flies. It seems like only yesterday Dennis E. Taylor was just publishing "We Are Legion (We Are Bob)." In fact, it's been almost three years (as of this review).
That first book may have started a trend, or perhaps it just made me more aware of the trend, of stories about characters who are extra-human (rather than superhuman), via some combination of technology that requires only a human mind, or at least its essence, to form a new kind of being. Now, we have all sorts of stories about characters who mesh with machinery, become part of video games, or have alien software interfaces installed in their brains.
Yet, something about that first "Bob" book was special--and it was not just the sci-fi premise. At its heart, the book was about adapting and overcoming very difficult circumstances, so dire that most would lose their sanity. Not only does Bob survive, but he manages to do it with style.
Taylor's characters are prolific problem solvers, the kind of people who can take or leave the rest of society not only because of their endless resourcefulness, but because they create their own society wherever they happen to be and even if that society consists of just one person. Put a Dennis E. Taylor protagonist in the same situation that Tom Hanks' character faced in "Cast Away," and you would have a totally different movie. By the end of it, he might even tell his rescuers, "Nah, I'm good," and go on back to whatever project he was developing (probably a chain of windmills to power his teleportation experiment).
The key aspect of a Taylorian construct is the mild-mannered, polite aplomb with which his characters kick around possible solutions to whatever cataclysmic nightmare currently has Earth in its sights. Most of the time, the outcome will not be good for our fragile little planet, but Taylor's cast of good-hearted nerdlings will be just fine, sipping their gourmet coffee and gently trading pleasantries and light ribbing.
In "Outland," the situation almost is prototypical in its plot and character interactions. All of the boxes are check-marked: life-threatening situation; mind-bending, sci-fi, plot device; quirky nerds drinking coffee and talking tech while they casually put their plans into motion; and utterly evil bad guys that get what is coming to them (but usually without any hard feelings). All of these elements, however, must take a backseat to the real star of the show: the banter and small-talk that takes place between the characters as they casually go about rebuilding society, rescuing hostages, or just randomly uncovering a new universe. The general vibe is that of a friendly crew of workplace companions, a team of down-to-earth go-getters, you know, the kind you would want holding down Mission Control while you're busy being launched into space.
"Hey, Joe, you doing okay, up there?"
"Why? Don't I sound okay, Bill? Let's light this firecracker."
"Ha-ha, okay, Joe. Just checking in on you. Lighting the fuse, now. We'll keep a pot of coffee warm for you for when you get back."
"You'd better. You know I live on that stuff."
Or something like that.
In short, reading a Dennis E. Taylor novel, no matter what peril the heroes face, is a lot like casual Friday at NORAD, where even at DEFCON 1 with missiles in the air, so long as Tina from Accounting keeps that coffee pot bubbling, the end of the world is not really the end of the world at all. Even when the last quip is offered and the last chuckle given, we know that it's not really the end. Dennis has more up his sleeve. He'll soon be back with another installment, and the story will go on.
Now, on the other hand, if something were to happen to Ray Porter....

Looks To Be Another Fun and Interesting Series
I got introduced to Ray Porter's work through the Bobiverse series which I thought of as an entertaining storyline with a very creative premise based on explainable and understandable science. This series looks to be much the same. The best thing about his writing is that he doesn't appear to care as much about creating a big time science fiction epic that takes itself too seriously. He fills his stories with characters you can easily identify with due to their normal, everyday human qualities very much like people you've probably met or have known. It's just that they're placed into unusual and sometimes difficult situations that often require creative solutions, both scientific and otherwise.
The problem some people might have with this book is it might not be serious enough for them. It's very light-hearted and entertaining. But in my opinion, there's nothing wrong with that. Clearly the idea that a bunch of graduate level college students in a variety of disciplines could come up with a way of creating the technology that allows people to easily walk through a portal into another version of Earth challenges credibility. But on the other hand it's a very fun "what if" exercise that keeps you captivated. And what on Earth...or any other version of Earth, is wrong with being entertained, as long as the scientific basis appears to be solid.

Is it a Bobiverse quality book?
Ok - first to the question you are asking, is it up to Bobiverse standards? Unfortunately, no. But don't despair – that’s not saying it's bad! It is actually a very good book! I almost took a star away, but then, I thought…really? Just because it’s not up to the Bobiverse level it deserves a star taken away? The answer is – no. What needs to happen is they need to append a few stars for the Bobiverse books. They are so much better, they deserve EXTRA stars!
So, this book. It deals with a couple of well-canvased theories. The multi-dimensional idea, as well as the Yellowstone erupts idea. But it does a good job of joining the two into an interesting concept and story line. It is full of the familiar traits you liked in the Bobiverse; nerdy sciencey stuff, great Dennis E. Taylor humor through it all, interesting plot lines, bad-guy-gets-his kind of stuff. In that regards, if you liked the Bobiverse, you’ll like this one.
If I were to throw some shade, I would say that in this book, Mr. Taylor throws in a LOT more with his off-language rants. There were the occasional f-bomb or foul tirade in the Bobiverse books, but they were always seeming well founded in the story line. In this book, he seems to have decided to kick that up a notch. Unfortunate, really. I loved the fact I could play my Bobiverse books to my kids and only occasionally cringe when the foul language cropped up. This book has a steady diet of it; so much I doubt I’ll recommend my kids read/listen to it.
Also, kind of short. Obvious open plots for future books as well. Given that, I think Mr. Taylor is trying to cash in a *little* too much.
Beyond that, this book is fun, funny, interesting, loaded with science “what-ifs”, and the kind of apocalyptic traits you’ve come to enjoy in post-apocalypse stories. Or apocalypse in-progress stories, I guess, in this case. Not to mention the kind of nerd/science stuff that inspire a cult following; like the Bobiverse books do/did.

When’s the Sequel Coming Out?
After totally enjoying the Bobiverse trilogy, I was prepared to enjoy anything else Dennis E. Taylor wrote. I wasn’t wrong! This is a great book with an intriguing plot and likable characters. And since my husband is convinced Yellowstone will be erupting any day now, he enjoyed it too. I’m waiting with bated breath for the sequel.

Love it!
A creative fun and intriguing romp through a Jurassic World-ish apocalypse strung together with friendship. Capable and lovable students (both genders) start out for a Pulitzer, grow into survivors, and end up heroes. Perfectly paced, sprinkled with science and nerds, topped with adventure. Read perfectly to me in an deep and smooth whiskey voice. Thanks Outland.

This is great Scifi. I really enjoyed this book.
This is the kind of book you are sad when it's gone. What a wonderful concept and who knows that it's not possible. The author has a real feeling for college aged people/ I really enjoyed the story and the narrator was very good. There was never a time I was bored reading this, whichw does not happen as often as I would like. If you like scifi, this is your book.

Abrupt Ending
Very good listen and worth the money or credit. This being the first of a series that was written in 2015, I thought the other books in the series would be out. Turns out that it never took off until now when the author got a contract to do audible series and this is a remake of the first book. That being said now you'll have to wait till the rest are made.

I didn’t think Bobaverse could be topped for entertainment. And while the first couple of chapters I thought it couldn’t match up- boy was I wrong. This was the same blend of humor and sci-fi. Can’t wait for more!!
