Earthside

Quantum Earth, Book 2

By: Dennis E. Taylor

Narrated by: Ray Porter

The fate of mankind is in the hands of a group of 20-something science nerds in the sequel to Outland, by the Audible #1 best-selling author of the “Bobiverse” series.

The Yellowstone super-eruption has put an end to modern civilization. As cities and countries continue to fall, the colony of Rivendell in the alternate Earth known as Outland looks more and more like the only real hope for humanity. But life in Rivendell isn’t getting any simpler, either. Bill and Kevin continue to discover new worlds; the population continues to rise; winter is approaching; and everyone has their own opinion about how things should be run.

Then, a garbled plea for help from Omaha sends most of the security forces back Earthside to investigate, leaving Monica’s police force understaffed just as a large group of refugees arrive with its own ideas and power structure. With threats from both inside and outside, will the colony even survive until spring?

Can't wait for book 3

So interesting! I love how much science is mixed into these books. I love the city-building aspect of this book in particular.

Another home run for Taylor and Porter

Dennis E. Taylor is king of the sequel, totally lives up to expectations and exceeds them. Ray Porter once again brings it to life. Pre-ordered this one and will pre-order the next as soon as it is available. So entertaining! Listen to all of his books! Thank you to everyone who continues to produce these audiobooks, please make more!

Another awesome novel by Mr Taylor and Mr Porter

Excellent, worth the wait, hopefully part 3 won't take so long. Can't get enough of Dennis' writing and Ray's narration

S Kaye

Awesome of course, lovely twisty continuation! Boy our group have had a time with those they help!
Thanks Ray-excellent!

Good job!

Good job! Enjoyed this and the previous book very much! Can’t wait for the next book!!

Too much politics

First book was good. But in the second book, it seemed like the author was just super angry and wanted to express his hatred for a certain political group and kill them off in satisfying ways for himself. I think this will be the last book of the series I’ll listen to unless he ditches the opinionated politics.

Entertaining!

As usual Dennis doesn’t disappoint. I love the characters, specifically Monica (the kraken). Excellent work. Please keep it coming…

Disappointing

How can a guy who writes such engrossing dialog spoil the whole thing by making his conspiricists so ludicrous? It's like he's marinading a hot dog.

Dennis E. Taylor has been an instant "buy" for me: until now.

protagonists too stupid to live

overall enjoy the premise of the story. but the protagonists and the author's choice to make them very smart people but terrible at decision making is frustrating. author seems to be okay with letting murderers rapists and slavers get away without harsh consequences in this story. that does not seem realistic in a society set up to be barely surviving. protagonists are unbelievably forgiving to antagonist characters.

Looking forward to book 3

I enjoyed this installment. The politics did get a little old, but at the same time if something like this were to happen, I expect that would probably be a realistic part of it. His books always excel with the engineering side and since I’m an engineer, I like that. Hopefully book three will concentrate more on that side of things.
