We have previously thoroughly enjoyed the trilogy "The Bobiverse" as audio books narrated by Ray Porter. We recently listened to "The Singularity Trap" and again found it the same mix of gripping and funny with Dennis E. Taylor's unique style and believable characters. Once you have listened to Ray Porter narrate a book, it is hard to listen to other narrators: he is just that good.

Most of this book is about following the reactions of people who find out aliens are real and have visited the solar system in the past. Much of the rest is about the rough time the people who discover evidence of aliens go through. I didn't find either particularly compelling

I purchased this book after reading we are Bob. It did not disappoint. I really enjoy this authors different take on future scenarios. I think it is a good read because the characters are so likeable. Highly recommend.

Forgive my absence of late. I’m doing my masters and unfortunately this means that my reading time now consists of reading research reports and text books instead of fiction. And there is another 2.5 years of this! Thankfully with travelling to and from work, and lots of cleaning up to do with two young kids, there is plenty of time for audio books!
This was the first Dennis E. Taylor book I have encountered. It was a lot of fun. I will pretty much listen to anything that Ray Porter narrates so I was excited to see he had narrated another sci-fi – and I was not disappointed.
Down on his luck, Ivan scores a job on a mining ship, searching for metals that will make them all rich so he is able to provide for his family. While on an asteroid, Ivan touches something and all hell breaks loose. The substance clings to his suit and makes its way into it. It starts to change him… All of a sudden Ivan is not quite Ivan anymore. And all of a sudden he has to save the human race!
This was a really fun ride! I thought it might be a bit slow at first, despite Ray’s narration, but man, it quickly got into it and I found I couldn’t stop listening!
It had a really great message embedded between all the drama, action and adventure. What do we have to do as a species to get our act together!?? I really enjoy this kind of sci-fi. A lot of fun, but also makes you think and opens up your mind.
I loved the characters, loved the action, and I am looking forward to giving more Dennis E. Taylor books a go!
I do wish there was a little bit more romance. There was a little bit, but it didn’t quite hit the spot for me, even though I realise that it wasn’t what the book was about, and I imagine some would argue that it was just the right amount as to not detract from the story… But I enjoy a bit more romance in a book.
Would I recommend The Singularity Trap?
Absolutely! It was a really great ride, with twists and turns. It was intelligent and a lot of darn fun! And if I ever write a sci-fi adventure, I hope that I can get Ray Porter to narrate it! Brilliant!

Really enjoyed this book with an active plot, good world building and interesting characters. It kept me reading and I liked how it developed.

I really enjoyed this book. It took some time to get into things as characters were built up but it was well worth it in the end.

Great characters, well written, some plot holes
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 October 2018Verified Purchase
I liked the characters and enjoyed the book. It is a stand alone novel. The only thing that I problems with are the plot holes. The stated reason for the alien probe does not stand up. It would be better if it was just to say hello and initiate communication. Anything else without FTL is pointless.
It was easy to ignore these plot holes as the novel stands up well regardless. Let’s just say that Ralph is clearly an AI

Another good book from the author of the Bobiverse
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2020Verified Purchase
I enjoyed this book, big fan of the Bobiverse books, so wanted to read more by the author. I liked the story and the characters and the plot develops well. Will read it again in future which is a sign of a good book in my opinion.

There is life beyond the Bobiverse.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 June 2019Verified Purchase
When I saw that Dennis E Taylor had written a new book, I wondered whether this book could possibly match the amazing Bobiverse series.
The answer is a qualified yes. This story began a little quietly, but then gathered pace and became both engaging and satisfying. I really enjoyed the twist at the end!

Great read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2019Verified Purchase
For me this was unputdownable. Very clever premise, you could have some issues with some characters, "No, no way he's do something that dumb" , but that what makes a a good book, waiting to see what happens next..
