Publisher's Summary
When Quentin Draith wakes up in a private sanatorium, he has no memory of who he is or how he received the injuries riddling his body. All he knows is that he has to get out, away from the drugs being pumped into him and back to the real world to search for answers. His first question: How did his friend Tony’s internal organs fill with sand, killing him in a Las Vegas car crash?
After a narrow escape, he tracks down the basic facts: He is an investigator and blogger specializing in the supernatural - which is a good thing, because Quentin’s life is getting stranger by the minute. It seems he is one of a special breed, a person with unusual powers. He’s also the prime suspect in a string of murders linked by a series of seemingly mundane objects. The deeper he digs and the harder he works to clear his name, the more Quentin realizes that some truths are better off staying buried….

"Great beginning, let's see what will be next!"
What made the experience of listening to Technomancer the most enjoyable?It has a very good plot, in fact it is so good that i still can't decide about the genre.
I'm not sure whether it is Urban fantasy or Science fiction !
Who was your favorite character and why?The main character is fine
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?The idea for this plot is very similar to a tv show " The Lost Room"
at least part of the concept was taken directly from the show http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0830361/

"More good than bad"
What other book might you compare Technomancer to and why?The base them is pretty similar to Sci-Fi channel's mini-series, The Lost Room, as another customer mentioned.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?I really enjoyed the way the narrator read the book up until I heard him do his first accent. It got worse when I heard is second accent. Whether he's doing an Oriental accent or a Hispanic accent, they all sound like they're from India. It was really bugging me, so I just pretended like all of the accented characters were actually Indian and it wasn't so bad after that. The rest of the narration was gold.
Was Technomancer worth the listening time?Yes. Once I got past the bad accents, the story was quite fun. B.V.Larson is really good at making you feel the details with his descriptions. There's also a lot of both contemporary fantasy and horror in it. Fans of both genres will likely get a kick out of it.

What other book might you compare Technomancer to and why?Honestly can't think of any. It is more of a mix of detective story meets xfiles meets heroes.
Which scene was your favorite?My favorite scene was when he confronted the doctor ming.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?Xfiles meets Heroes

"Hardboiled PI meets SciFi Aliens - fun read"
If you could sum up Technomancer in three words, what would they be?Interesting collusion of worlds
What did you like best about this story?Technomacer takes the best of conspiracy theory, parallel existences, aliens and the shady world of private detectives and melds an interesting narrative and cast of characters.The characters are really fabulous.
What does Christopher Lane bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?If Sam Spade read a book, he would sound like Christopher Lane. The amazing part of Lane's reading isn't just that he can out Bogey Bogart, but that he has a terrific range for all of the characters. This is my first book with Lane as a narrator. It won't be my last. He is one of the few readers that make the book better.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?If only I could listen at one time. :)
