About this audiobook
k52 is a vast artifical intelligence with world domination on its mind.
If it succeeds in creating an artificial reality based on our own universe, it could gain enough data to allow it to alter reality itself, turning k52 into the ultimate arbiter of mankind’s fate.
It’s down to Richards and Klein to stop k52—even though the alternative could be worse!
“Fascinating characters in a very believable future.” —Mike Resnick
“Guy Haley is a hidden gem of British Science Fiction.” —Paul Cornell

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5On the whole I liked the first half of this diptych more than the first. Part of this is that one has a good sense of how this book is going to end about a third of the way through. The other part is that Richards and Klein spend too much of the book being separated as Richards is stuck in a very wonky virtual world that becomes rather annoying, rather quickly. That said Haley did stick the landing and I would read another work featuring these characters.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Sometimes I curse my need to finish everything I start. The thing about this book is that, like its predecessor, I feel like I should like it more than I do. I enjoy the characters (particularly Richards). I think the worldbuilding is interesting. But when it all comes together, it just doesn't work for me. This one in particular felt like to separate and tonally unrelated books jammed up together, alternating between one and the other.
