Singularity

Star Carrier: Book Three

By: Ian Douglas

Narrated by: Nick Sullivan

Humankind’s vast intergalactic power struggle and future war to bring down an insidious evil alien empire reaches an explosive, page-turning climax in Ian Douglas’s Singularity, the third book in his New York Times bestselling Star Carrier series. Blisteringly exciting military science fiction in the vein of the hit TV series “Battlestar Galactica,” Singularity pits determined space soldiers against a powerful race of creatures bent upon the total annihilation of a human race on the brink of technological transcendence. A notable descendant of such classic military sf novels as Joe Haldeman’s The Forever War and Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein, Singularity will not disappoint author Douglas’s every-growing legion of fans as it conquers Jack Campbell, Rick Shelley, John Ringo, David Sherman and Dan Cragg loyalists as well.

some what disapointing. end of the series

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

no, it left me cold, if he had staied with original characters it would have been moree interseting

Would you be willing to try another book from Ian Douglas? Why or why not?

yes, he can be an entertaing author so I'll try a new book when one comes out

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

no , the author has run he course for this series

WOW!! Great 3rd Book

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.

Blah blah blah

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”

Very well written with good plot.

Well this book didn't disappoint me one bit. I can't wait until I start the next books. Can't wait to see what the all of the America people do next.

Too much reiteration

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.
