Ray Jay Perreault’s storytelling is top-notch, and Zachary Johnson’s performance brings the characters and intense action to life.

The twists in this book kept me on the edge of my seat, especially with Dr. Julius Harold’s betrayal. The storyline is expertly crafted, and Zachary Johnson’s narration enhances the experience with clear, emotional performances.

It definitely has an Andromeda Strain/Space Odysse

I'm a bit sad that I didn't read SIMPOC the Thinking Computer before this book. I think I would have understood things a lot quicker and enjoyed the story faster. Despite this, I enjoyed the story. It definitely has an Andromeda Strain/Space Odyssey vibe. It does have a bit of a cliffhanger just before the climax of the overall series, so that's a bit of a shame.

I listened to the audio version and Zachary Johnson did a decent job narrating the computer parts, but overall he missed out on characterization. All the voices and narration used the same voice, so it was difficult to tell the characters apart. But his pacing was good.

**I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.**

Book 1 hooked me - and now the plot thickens!

As if the first book wasn't enough of an exploration of an unparalleled event, when I opened Book 2 things accelerated - and a quest for survival of our species takes an unexpected turn for the overwhelming. Characters you already care about and some well developed newcomers add to pulling you into the storyline. Never a dull moment seems to be a good description of this continuation of an epic with unlimited potential
