About this listen

1. Sub-Human

Before he was Oldtimer, he was Craig Emilson, a young doctor sucked into military service at the outbreak of World War III. Enlisting to become a Special Forces suborbital paratrooper, Craig is selected to take part in the most important mission in American military history - a sortie into enemy territory to eliminate the world's first strong artificial intelligence. The mission is only the beginning of Craig's story and the story of humanity as well as they accelerate toward a world that is post-human.

If you're already a fan of the smash-hit Post-Human Series, this prequel to Post-Human, Sub-Human, will answer the previously unanswered questions of how the post-human world came to be. And if you're new to the series, Sub-Human will serve as an engrossing introduction to a possible future that has enraptured tens of thousands of listeners!

2. Post-Human

The future should have been perfect. Microscopic robots known as nans could repair any damage to your body, keep you young by resetting your cellular clocks, and allow you to download upgrades like intelligence, muscle strength, and eyesight. You were supposed to be able to have anything you wanted with a simple thought, to be able to live forever. But when a small group of five terraformers working on Venus return to Earth, they discover that every other human in the solar system has been gruesomely murdered. Now James Keats and his four companions must discover what happened to the rest of humanity and fight back if they wish to avoid the same horrifying fate.

3. Trans-Human

In this sequel to Post-Human, humanity will be forced to face a future more advanced than it could have imagined if it wants to survive. Nineteen months have passed since the AI turned against humanity and was subsequently destroyed. In the meantime James Keats has turned over the AI's powers to a nonintelligent, easily controlled operating system.

He and Thel have left the planet and spent six months vacationing on Venus, which has been terraformed without the consent or knowledge of the Governing Council. The AI has been deleted, but the message it sent out into the abyss of space in search of a companion has been answered. An alien force dwarfing the Earth is on its way to find out why the AI has stopped communicating. Keats and company can only assume its intentions will be hostile when it finds out the truth.

4. Human Plus

Human Plus is the fourth story in the smash hit science-fiction series. Not exactly a sequel, not exactly a prequel, Human Plus will defy expectations. No matter what you thought was coming next, you're in for a surprise!

Just one caution: When you're finished you're going to want to share the surprises with everyone online.... Please don't! Please respect future listeners, and let them enjoy the surprises just as much as you did!

Thought Provoking

VERY interesting book, but having to wrestle with the narrator made it a struggle to finish. Is it that hard to keep your voice consistent? I get that one needs to use tone and inflection to bring a story to life, but the narrator speaks too low in many places and blasts my eardrums in many other places. What kept me in the story was the writing, but I believe I'll be avoiding Mr. Case's charismatic vocal stylings in the future.

Books 1 and 4 were great, 2 and 3 not so much

I really enjoyed the first and forth books of this set but thought that the second and third were too contrived and repeated too many subplots

Good listen

This was a binge listeners dream. All the books for one credit? Yes please! So I like this series but sometimes the characters seemed to balk at every new mind bending thing, like they can't wrap their head around something even though it is no more outlandish than the ten other things that just happened to them. Other that that it made my morning commute fly by.

No masterpiece.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

No. Rather amateurish all around. Simple plot, poor narration.

Has The Post-Human Omnibus turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator spoke in a monotone for most of the stories.

ok

I listened to the four books in 4 days.
To me sometimes it appeared that something was missing, there was no connection. Facts were not explained well and actions happened as if you knew it all.
Also between one book and another information was missing, the fourth was the worst, as it began with no connection to the third.
The narrator was good just could not pronounce Alexandra well, it sounded as he was saying Alexandria most of the time.

I really enjoyed this book(s).

I went into this with no expectations at all. But, wow was I blown away. The story was great, the voice acting was awesome. If I read books twice, Id read this one again.

Skynet is not the future...

This was a really well laid out conceptualization of Technology gone wrong and killing us all, Technophobes being the the hypocritical enemy that became the end of us all and Technology gone right coming to the rescue! The last book had me wondering how it tied in, but everything came together in such a way as to help me understand that it was truly necessary and organic, just had to step back a little to see the whole picture.
