Publisher's summary

Earth is governed by Corporations. Automation has made unemployment normal. The work ethic has been replaced by interactive virtual reality. Yet within ten years the population will exceed the ability of the infrastructure to feed everyone, and it will all come tumbling down... unless a productive solution can be achieved. In Volume 1 (Modulus) Paul Harden attempted a solution and failed badly. In the process, he destroyed an entire planet, killing almost all of its settlers. Now Harden is on the run, an escapee. He has a hole card he believes in, a way back to what he believes is his destiny. But when he reaches for that last card, he attracts the interest of an ancient threat: a hungry, ancient threat. Steve Holbrook, Pat, Tibs, Bobby Morrison, Martin Avery and many other characters from Modulus, Volume 1, go to extraordinary lengths to counter the threat, to do what can be done to resolve the worst of Earth's perils, and to bring Paul Harden at last to justice. In so doing we see the Earth as it may appear in a thousand years, when the seas have risen, humanity has sent aloft great orbital cities, and antimatter is a fuel. Reading volume 1 isn't necessary, though doing so may enhance contextual quality. This volume has been written to contain the background that the story needs. "I've just finished reading "Far Modulus" by R.T. Romero. I think you'll find it a good read. A clever, well structured plot placed in a nicely thought-out mid-future universe makes for an entertaining sequel to 'Modulus' - his previous work. Disparate elements like social engineering and the mechanics of space battles are handled deftly. Hey - this would work well as a movie!" ~Boffo McGurk

Entertaining story

Virtual voice is terrible, but it got the job done.

This series is worth a listen. The story is interesting and entertaining, and not too far-fetched. A lot better than most sci-fi that I’ve read or listened to.

My only real critique is that the author is in serious need of a good editor to help clean up and fine tune the pacing and verbiage.
