Publisher's Summary

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.

Critic Reviews

“Dennis Taylor serves up a top-notch outer-space adventure…. Ray Porter’s narration is simply brilliant…. In addition to suspense, action, futuristic detail, and moments of comedy, the book brings a light, investigative touch to the question of what exactly human identity is.” (The Washington Post)

Roared through this book in a couple of days!

A book of two halves and both have you wondering, “how the hell is Taylor gonna resolve this?” A cracking read.

As usual, Ray Porter “brings it” and makes characters distinguishable and memorable.

Shout out to the Sound Mixer for the excellent difference in environs.

Thoroughly enjoyed this work

Outstanding story and narration. I now have searched out and purchased ALL I can find of Dennis E. Taylor’s work.

Further, Ray Porter’s performances are so good I now buy anything I see that he has narrated. 5 stars are not enough.

Excellent production

Loved the audio filters applied when the chatacter was talking over the phone or on the TV. Story took longer to hook me than We Are Bob but still very enjoyable.

Love this book and this author

I am a huge fan of Dennis E Taylor. I listen to his books over and over again. I also think it is a great pairing of another and narrator. Ray Porter obviously gets what the author is wanting to say !!👍

A++

Dennis knocks it out of the park again, a nice, short contained story with great characters and a cool way of uaing similar story hooks as the bobiverse but in new, inventive ways. give it a shot

Entertaining and inspired

After the Bobiverse series which has to be a favourite of mine I was really looking forward to more creations by Dennis E Tayloe ..I was not disappointed. This book takes a great idea and makes it entertaining, funny, exciting and everything that makes this a great book. I thoroughly enjoyed it many times over and have shared with my kids too.
I don't know if sci-fi is a difficult genre to write well or read, I have struggled getting in to some, but since The Martian, Bobiverse, and this book there is plenty to love. Highly recommended especially for those who love some light humour with their space action.
