a short Side Track.

Revisado: 10-18-24

this was an exploration that was also a short sidetrack. it looked at the idea of converting AI to Al. the major issue with on The Human Side was the loss of humans. and the gaining of humanity by AI and more close resemblance of Al to humanity. it was an interesting listen and I enjoyed it.

A great read!

Revisado: 01-27-21

I have been reading Cooper 4 years and find getting to know each of her characters a great time. she does set up a good Scott of Science Fiction worlds and the rules are consistent.

great end to a great series!

Revisado: 12-05-20

Ian Douglas has a knack for building characters and using scientific Concepts throughout his books. It is never dull and he introduces you to characters you grow to enjoy love, and new characters that show you the price of conflict. this ending is consistent with the entire series and I am happy and yet sad to read it, much like but ends in the book. I think the author author for a good use of my time.

great history, but slow it down to eighty percent.

Revisado: 08-04-20

the book is a good historical emotional content book that gives great context to all the history and detail books you could read about grants campaigns. however I believe the book was accidentally sped up because 80% speed it sounds perfect.

Cute but too much politics

Revisado: 08-10-19

it was a cute little story. narrator handled it tongue and cheek, which was appropriate. became apparent that the writer didn't understand modern Healthcare issues. I hate it when they diatribe on something they don't understand. other than that it was a cute little things to listen to.

Great Series

Revisado: 04-25-19

A different view of the world from a "construct"s POV. Great characters. Great narration. Who thought a pouty sec unit would be such a great story? Humans are always amazed.

Solid Series, but Too Hollywood

Revisado: 07-08-17

Generally I like the series and the main characters. He does a good job of growing the characters and making sure we know who the important supporting characters are. However, he repeats the same grave descriptions to the point they become irritating at times and distracts from the movement of the story. Sometimes in the car I yell, "I get it! GO ON!" or "Not AGAIN, please!" I have also started seeing a Hollywood bigger explosions pattern. The main characters on the main ship keep fighting off more and more and more ships. Example, in this book the main captain and crew ends up fighting off a total of 5 ships. Everything is worse and worse and worse, oh this is paralleled in a really big battle light years away, and then SUDDENLY the protagonist pulls out that little ooomph and destroys the enemy in a single blow after being forlorn. But never say die twice too many! I get this from Hollywood, I don't need or want it in decent book, I expect growth and movement. This is not to say he totally fails, he doesn't. The books are solidly crafted and I do like the characters in the end, but editing out some "oh, dear lordy" melodrama wouldn't shorten the books too much and keep me from rolling my eyes in frustration at times in listening.

Look at a Light Speed Universe

Revisado: 04-03-17

It was an enjoyable piece once I got by the major flaw in the author's set up. Just remember if we ever have to leave this solar system with maximum genetic robustness, all women with lots of frozen sperm. The book highlighted the fight between power/control and individual freedom, over the years. Once nice thing was the author wasn't "telling" what to think but let the characters show us. There were a lot of characters and some of their thought processes were a little explicit, but other than that it was an interesting listen.
