Mysterious tech, a devious AI and a couple of scientists in over their heads collide in the latest sci-fi adventure from the number one best-selling author of the Bobiverse series.

Physicist Philip Moray is having a good day. He’s chipping away at his big work project. The lunch in the cafeteria is at least edible. And he’s looking forward to his end-of-the-day drink and a soak in the hot tub.

Then, a strange device turns up in his office. A piece of technology he has never seen before–and shouldn’t even exist.

Suddenly, corpses start turning up, eco-activists go on the attack, random people suffer bizarre symptoms. And every time the authorities get a lead, it traces right back to Philip and his colleague, Celia Hunt.

Then, a mysterious caller contacts Philip–and, suddenly, staying out of jail is the very least of his problems.

Apparently, that hot tub’s going to have to wait.

The book really is a fun take on the AI craze and as always Ray does an amazing job. I wish the AI had more narrative time in the book, but his parts were great!

A fun spin on the AI craze

I am sure to listen to fly out again maybe even several times I think Ray Porter is one of the best narrators Audible has. I think Marvel should make some of Donald E Taylor’s books into movies they would make great movies. The characters are just so much fun. Can’t wait for the next book.

I've seen a couple of complaints about its a slow starter, but I think it's well done. it's not easy to build a future world and incorporate what you think that world would look like from a first person perspective, I appreciate the effort. Ray is as amazing as ever. I'm going immediately back in for round 2!

Dennis clearly put a lot of work into taking new directions in his writing

…. In the spirit of Dennis E. Taylor’s other strong sci-fi short stories and novels. I laughed out loud when a character asked what to call a new entity and suggested, “Bob?” But you don’t need to know anything about the Bobiverse to greatly enjoy this novel. There’s definitely a game of “what did I figure out and when,” and I’ll admit that I was close but off-base in enjoyable ways. I also love that the good guys in DET’s works are genuinely nice people - something I wish I saw more of in the world and in literature!

Strong stand-alone novel

IMHO, Dennis is on par with Heinlein, Clark, Bradbury, Scalzi, Weir, et al. Not as many geek-culture references as usual, but that's a good thing. Dennis demonstrates range within the sci-fi genre. Just enough hard-science to keep it realistic, and not an endless stream of Bobiverse.

Another fantastic tale from Dennis!
