About this listen

Joan Herl the commander of the space station Oasis and her husband Colonel Tom Herl contact Admiral Hagerly, who is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He, President Patterson, and the remainder of the government have taken refuge on the aircraft carrier Fittsburg in the middle of the Atlantic. The few remaining humans welcome the returning crew members from the moon colony Desert Beach.

One of the Oasis crew members, Dr. Julius Harold steels the key elements of the rogue computer and flees. They both have ulterior motives.

The remaining population of the human race must find a way to deal with the tremendous loss as individuals, humans, and for the entire planet.

After they have dealt with the aftermath and began putting their lives back together, the likely explanation for the sudden virus appears, and they must find a way to deal with the next great threat to their lives. The coincidence is too unlikely to believe. Now they have to band together and face the second direst impact to the human race.

Excellent Continuation of the SIMPOC Series

SIMPOC - Human Remnants brilliantly expands the universe created in the first book. The combination of a rogue AI, human survival, and a looming new threat makes this a thrilling ride from start to finish. Joan and Tom Herl’s characters continue to shine, while the story introduces exciting new plot elements. Zachary Johnson’s narration is stellar, keeping you engaged throughout. I highly recommend this for fans of smart, action-packed sci-fi.

A Thrilling Sci-Fi Experience

This audiobook was a thrilling continuation of the SIMPOC series. The stakes have never been higher for the few remaining humans as they band together to survive. Ray Jay Perreault’s storytelling is top-notch, and Zachary Johnson’s performance brings the characters and intense action to life. I found the exploration of both human emotions and technological threats fascinating. Highly recommended for fans of apocalyptic sci-fi with a twist!

Survivors, but Better Behaved

Most of these 'Survivors' are definitely better behaved than those on the reality show, but there are a few......

I highly recommend reading book 1 to give you background on how SIMPOC (Synapse Integrated Massive Parallel Organic Computer) became self aware and decides to assist the remaining humans after a global catastrophe, the saga of the astronauts currently off world, and many other things that will increase your enjoyment of book 2.

There is plenty of intrigue and excitement when you throw in an evil scientist building an AI of his own, humans acting at their best and their worse, world governments behaving badly while others are humane, and there are still humans on the Moon and Mars. Oh yes, and towards the end of this book another 'problem' pops up (snicker).

My favorite part of this book is watching SIMPOC's creation Alpha interact with humans and learn what words like love, family, children, and grief really are.

Zachary Johnson again gives us enjoyable and varied vocals, complete with emotion. In one case the disdain portrayed was so clear that I wanted to punch the character.

I had to listen to SIMPOC, book 1 before this one to refresh my memory. This story leads us onto a better understanding as to what is happening in the world. I am looking forward to the next installment of this series.

Thank you Ray for letting me listen to this audio.

It definitely has an Andromeda Strain/Space Odysse

I'm a bit sad that I didn't read SIMPOC the Thinking Computer before this book. I think I would have understood things a lot quicker and enjoyed the story faster. Despite this, I enjoyed the story. It definitely has an Andromeda Strain/Space Odyssey vibe. It does have a bit of a cliffhanger just before the climax of the overall series, so that's a bit of a shame.

I listened to the audio version and Zachary Johnson did a decent job narrating the computer parts, but overall he missed out on characterization. All the voices and narration used the same voice, so it was difficult to tell the characters apart. But his pacing was good.

**I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.**

Book 1 hooked me - and now the plot thickens!

As if the first book wasn't enough of an exploration of an unparalleled event, when I opened Book 2 things accelerated - and a quest for survival of our species takes an unexpected turn for the overwhelming. Characters you already care about and some well developed newcomers add to pulling you into the storyline. Never a dull moment seems to be a good description of this continuation of an epic with unlimited potential

Better than the previous one

I have received from the author a copy of this book in audio format in exchange for an honest review.

Just a few humans have survived the virus and SIMPOC and other computers make their mission to learn and assist these humans.

After the abrupt inclusion of humans in the first novel I was a bit worried about the development of events, but this second part is much more balanced. We met the computer, we met the humans, and now they can interact and start working in rebuilding the world, when they discover what the virus really was.

This intrigue was what I missed on the first novel, and elevates the story to a different level. The book ends with a cliffhanger that will have us wondering what will come next.

Zachary Johnson did again a good job, but I missed a bit of tone changes to differentiate the characters.

In conclusion, it is a book I would recommend, but I would like to see all the stories together one day published in a regular length and format book.

Intense and Gripping Sci-Fi Sequel

SIMPOC - Human Remnants is a fantastic follow-up to the first book in the series. The tension and stakes are higher than ever as humanity faces another existential threat after barely surviving a catastrophic virus. Ray Jay Perreault’s world-building is phenomenal, and the characters are well-developed and relatable. Zachary Johnson's narration is excellent, bringing every moment to life with perfect pacing. If you enjoyed the first book, this sequel is a must-listen!
