Outstanding

I enjoyed Taylor’s Bobverse Series so grabbed this book when I saw it. The book has the same tone to it as Bobverse with a similar type of humor. I could read this book just as a fun sci-fi story, or I could ponder the philosophical/moral issues Taylor presents. There are several moral and philosophical questions the author presents: one of them being the “prisoner dilemma”. The ending of the book is interesting. Looking for a good sci-fi story for the summer? Try this one.

The book is about eleven and a half hours. Ray Porter does an excellent job narrating the book. He is a perfect narrator for Taylor’s style of writing. Porter also narrated the Bobverse Series.

simply wonderful

This was fabulous. A unique approach to alien invasion which is rare. I enjoyed every minute.

Great story and best audio performance by far.

Many sci-fi stories rely on multiple story lines as filler when the main story line just isn't interesting enough on its own. Not the case here. Every word uttered was relevant to the main story. And the story was a very good one. Plus, the performance by Ray Porter is, by far, the best performance yet that I've heard in any audio book. He doesn't just read the book. He truly tells the story.

Not Bob, but Ivan is just as good!

This is a great story! I really hope it is not a one and done, but it seems to wrap up like one. It is a completely different take on the question, "how does mankind survive itself?" Unlike the Bobiverse stories we haven't done the whole M.A.D. route yet, but the global warming scenario is coming to a head. How does Humanity dodge this bullet in our collective foot? Just listen!

I have to say I LOVE Ray Porter as a narrator!!!

What a wonderfully narrated story! I must, no, NEED to find more books by this author!

Amazing as always

Dennis E. Taylor is one of the only authors I will blindly buy any book! Great story and I loved the narrator!

thoughtful science fiction

Complex ,intelligent and engrossing story. Narration is exceptional. A creative idea of a possible future.

great listen. hope for more

loved this tale, am looking for follow up

for me fifteen words is excessive talk

Pure gold

For those that enjoyed the Bobiverse, you will love this book.
Going the opposite technological route of his previous works, Dennis E. Taylor once again entices the reader to ponder the important questions of tomorrow. Questions that, as the history of Science Fiction has shown us, startlingly quickly can become the questions of today.
Thoroughly enjoyable.

gonna listen to anything that dennis Taylor writes

Their several moments where the writing was just fantastic. I've already listen to the Bobby verse trilogy it was impressed. I think anything Dennis Taylor rides from now on I'll wondered listening to especially if ray Porter narrates.
