Resumen del Editor

Being human is no longer enough.

The fanatical Red Widows sweep destruction across the abandoned lands. Their aggression threatens to destroy the city Gerry had risked his life to save. Petal, the woman Gerry has come to love, is dying. The despotic cabal, The Family, demand he brings her to them, but she's missing, running from the Widows, searching for the truth of her origins before it's too late. When their paths cross, Petal and Gerry will hold the fate of humankind in their hands - if they can survive the malevolent digital entity that stalks them from the shadows.

Code Breakers: Beta is a post-apocalyptic, near-future thriller that will delight fans of The Matrix, Neuromancer, and Blade Runner.

i liked the first book, second one a bit less

Any additional comments?

The story is not bad, but also far from great. My mind kept wandering off because the voice of the narrator was not really grabbing my attention. I liked the first story more then this one and would recomend it as a stand alone book, if you really loved the first one you might give this one a try, but for me this series ends here.

Great second book

In the second novel of the Code Breakers series, Gerry and Petal discover their origins while working to stop another apocalypse.

This novel was a lot better than the first novel...all the mysteries are answered and things start to make more sense. Two new enemies are introduced, a lot of back story is expanded, and another set of good guys with several strong characters are added too.

I really enjoyed the exploration of Petal's origins and family, and the reveals of what caused the cataclysm. The book had a lot of exploration of what can happen when technology goes too far, and what it means to be human.

The narrator continued to do a great job and I never heard any misses, wrong voices, etc.

Overall, a great second book and I'm looking forward to reading the next.

NOTE: I received this for free in exchange for an honest review.

SUPER cheesy, but relatively entertaining. Characters constantly enter enemy or unknown facilities alone, leaving their backup outside, much like in low budget horror movies. The romance is juvenile and tragic. People gain years worth of skills, knowledge, and maturity in several days without explanation and characters jump from one action scene to the next with nothing in between. Last everyone mysteriously happens to end up in the right place at the right time to move the plot conveniently forward (like randomly stumbling upon an enemy bunker VERY far from anything, in a storm). Overall, the audio book is not a terrible way to be entertained while doing the yard work or painting your house... but expect "B movie" quality.
