There is an unseen power in the universe - a terrible force that was dominating the galaxy tens of thousands of years before the warlike Sh'daar were even aware of the existence of Sol and its planets.

As humankind approaches the Singularity, when transcendence will be achieved through technology, contact will be made.

In the wake of the near destruction of the solar system, the political powers on Earth seek a separate peace with an inscrutable alien life form that no one has ever seen.

But Admiral Alexander Koenig, the hero of Alphekka, has gone rogue, launching his fabled battle group beyond the boundaries of Human Space against all orders. With Confederation warships in hot pursuit, Koenig is taking the war for humankind's survival directly to a mysterious omnipotent enemy.

The author must have been great at fulfilling the word count minimums for class assignments.

Unfortunately, the chosen method of doing so is merely repeating himself with not only the same info from back in book 1 but the same info provided earlier in this very book.

How many times do we have to hear about the same sob story of the characters upbringing, the social norms of religion, monogamy or the math of of free fall acceleration.

The constant droning on and on about the same exact thing does in fact take away from the story. Perhaps the author has never heard “Less is More”

Blah blah blah

This book has what is needed for a Great book. 1) A Great Story. 2) Great Narration. 3) Lots of Action. and 4) a good end! A 4th book would be nice but not needed.

WOW!! Great 3rd Book

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Maybe, It's too long. Could easily have been told in two books. No need for a third.

If you’ve listened to books by Ian Douglas before, how does this one compare?

N/A

Have you listened to any of Nick Sullivan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

N/A

Do you think Singularity needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes, BUT for the love of GOD please do not tell us for the 100th time about how prims lived! Enough already!

Any additional comments?

The constant explanation about prim life wore thin. Is there really a need to repeat this what seemed like a 100 times throughout the trilogy? I began to dread the next inevitable passage that yet again explained what a prim was and the life a prim had.

Too much reiteration

Have you listened to any of Nick Sullivan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was another great Nick Sullivan performance. I really liked the first two books of this series as well, both narrated by him. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another book that he narrated.

Any additional comments?

The story in this book was a little weaker than the other two Star Carrier books, in my opinion. I found the end confusing and had to listen to it twice to really grasp why it ended. I think this is due to a weakened plot line as it seemed the author wasn't sure what he was talking about either. I loved the first two books, really great technological vision in all 3.

Great book, great series

These Ian Douglas Star Carrier books have captured my interest more than most of the other Sci-Fi series I’ve listened to. I have re-learned and reviewed many physics and mathematical concepts I studied at university. I have been entertained immensely.

Intriguing
