Dennis E. Taylor, author of the best-selling Bobiverse trilogy, explores a whole different, darker world in this sci-fi stand-alone. Determined to give his wife and children a better life back home, Ivan Pritchard ventures to the edge of known space to join the crew of the Mad Astra as an asteroid miner. He's prepared for hard work and loneliness—but not the unthinkable. After coming into contact with a mysterious alien substance, Pritchard finds an unwelcome entity sharing his mind, and a disturbing physical transformation taking place. With his very humanity at stake, Pritchard must save mankind from a full-scale interstellar war.

Brought to life by prolific, award-winning narrator Ray Porter, The Singularity Trap is a thrilling adventure rife with drama and action on a truly cosmic scale.

Featured Article: The Most Stellar Sci-Fi Authors of All Time


Science fiction is a genre as diverse as you can imagine. There are stories that take place in deep space, often depicting teams exploring or running away from something; stories that focus on life at the most cellular level, such as a pandemic tale; and stories that take place in times that feel similar to our own. Depicting themes of existentialism, philosophy, hubris, and personal and historical trauma, sci-fi has a cadre of topics and moods.

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.

Outstanding

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.

Great story and best audio performance by far.

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!

Not Bob, but Ivan is just as good!
