Resumen del Editor

When everyone on the planet suddenly freezes in place a single artificial intelligence threatens the survival of humanity.

From bestselling author R. R. Haywood comes a heart-pounding sci-fi adventure about a group of survivors fighting to take down the all-powerful DELIO - the world’s first fully sentient AI.

When a mysterious event leaves nearly every human being on the planet frozen and unaware, a desperate few will do whatever it takes to prevent the AI from controlling the fate of humanity.

In New York, one of DELIO’s creators joins forces with a washed-up suicidal detective and a young film maker with a dark past, while in London convicted drug dealer Alfie is saved by an abused young woman trafficked into London – together, only they can stop DELIO.

But can they do it before it’s too late?

This book contains adult language and graphic scenes which some listeners may find distressing.

Excellent !!

Great story wonderful characters. The only question I have is when is the next one coming out on audible?

the Gripping story line

I am soooo Hooked, like the realistic Appendages of DELHO to the true to life Interactions of Humans and AI. it's Happening Now right? its almost as if it's Autobiographical...absolutely terrified. bring on book 2!

once again Haywood hit a homerun

I love haywood writing style,you could be laughing at the end of one sentence and crying at the beginning of the next sentence

Exciting entertaining book

I liked learning a little about A I. It's was interesting an very fast paced book. With a lot of very good characters involved. Can't wait for the second book to come out.

Will not disappoint!

Cannot go wrong with R.R. Haywood behind the wheel. If you liked the Extracted series and/or Town called Discovery, you'll love this book. Will definitely pre-order book two!

R R Haywood does it again!

Loved the story, loved the characters. Mad at myself for not waiting for book 2 before I read this. Now I have to wait! *sigh*

it’s good but I liked Extracted more

Okay, this isn't the first R.R. Haywood book I do, was looking forward to listening to this one, but it didn’t hit the spot.
The story was cool not going to lie, but some of the characters were undercooked let’s say, plus the whole fact that it needs to step up book 2 doesn’t help, (I am going to get book 2) I hope the characters get there by then,

That’s the characters, but now the story is the good part, The idea of what happens is great and new, I like the fashback a bit more than the rest, but yeah if you are into A.I. and science fiction you will like this

Haywood always delivers characters that I love

I absolutely love R.R. Haywood. He has the brilliant ability to write characters that you care about and are invested in! Haywood has written some of my favorites found in The Code Series (The Worldship Humility). Character dialogue is also very strong and this is another important factor I look for in books. I love the real, gritty humor. I wish i could do justice to his writing in this review. Just buy Delio (The Hive) and you definitely need to read the Worldship Humility series; It's among my top 5 series I've ever read/listened to.

The narrators in this book are fantastic. Vikas Adam has already been a favorite narrator of mine but Laura Aikman is new to me and she blew me away! Really amazing narration. Amazing book. I really appreciate finding authors like R.R. Haywood and Drew Hayes. These self published authors are in a class above the rest. I cant wait for Fictionland and hopefully more from Delio!

More realistic than I thought it would be

Excellent, it’s almost like the boss is a writer for the simpsons. Seems to look into what is actually going on in the world with chat gpt and the new ai concepts people are developing. Looking forward to the second book already!

great new story!

RR Haywood is a master at riveting changing points of view and building stories from backwards to forwards. perhaps one of the best.

I get the point that not everybody sees America like the Americans do but portraying every American agency as waterboarding fanatics this was a little over the top for me.

on the other hand, this is a provocative look of what a super intelligence could or might do to us all. The writing is genius is always.

All that said, I would rather have a fourth Code book come out next and then get back to this.
