OverviewWhen your very thoughts can shape the digital reality that surrounds you, can you still stay grounded, or will you go off the deep end? Max has got a lot of things on his plate, from dealing with a restless volcano to building a huge spaceship in secret. And in his spare time, he must conduct the biggest heist in the history of the world, search for the crime syndicate that is secretly running the planet, deal with a villain that had taken over the White House, save astronauts trapped on the wrecked International Space Station, and destroy an army of terrorists with a bit of orbital bombardment. And that's just the beginning of his problems. In the digital realm, he may be the closest thing to a god, but even gods get challenged. What should he do when he comes across a real AI, one secretly made by the government and so powerful it makes the Skynet look puny? And when an act of betrayal makes launching the spaceship a race against time . . . He will have to pull out all the stops, because if he fails . . . what use is a victory if it's a Pyrrhic one?

Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationIgor Nikolic is a science fiction and urban fantasy author. Like many similar creatures of his kind, he can often be spotted sitting at his desk and frantically typing away at his keyboard, with a slightly disturbed expression on his face. Or on some occasions banging his head against his desk, in the hope that this questionable method would make his brain divulge the way out of the latest corner he wrote himself into. His friends are often concerned when he starts talking about gravity drives, Lagrange points, and all the possible problems that may occur when building a ginormous space habitat in space, but they know he is a bit . . . odd? So, they make allowance for his idiosyncrasies. They patiently listen to his sermons on interdimensional portals, the pitfalls of fully sentient Artificial Intelligence, and why the Fermi paradox can easily be explained by a simple reason that nobody really wants to talk to us. (Yeah, he has a quirky sense of humor, and loves Easter eggs. Who knows how many of them he had placed in his books?) In his spare time (and I don't see how he finds any), he may be rereading some of his favorite books (for the tenth freaking time) or trying to sort out his extensive movie collection, which is taking far more terabytes than what could be considered reasonable. (For the love of God, someone please tell him about Netflix or Amazon Prime Video). James Patrick Cronin began his audiobook career at twelve years of age opposite Christopher Lloyd in the book-on-tape of The Pagemaster. A classically trained stage actor with an MFA from the University of Louisville and a degree in philosophy, James has spent his years since college performing as an actor and a comedian on stages all over the world. He has performed everything from the classics to original material in Ireland, Scotland, Serbia, and Israel, as well as throughout the US. He has recorded over 100 audiobooks across an extensive range of genres. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
