Stage of Fools

The Thomas Mariner Neurotechnology Trilogy

By: Sean Pauzauskie

Narrated by: Sean Pauzauskie

Stage of Fools is the centerpiece of the Thomas Mariner Neurotechnology Trilogy. It is a tale told from a San Francisco intensive care unit, by billionaire Steven Levinson, a patient who has fallen into a coma, who must take captive time to reexamine and learn from the suppressed events of his life, so that he might reawaken healed and save the family he has set at the brink of destruction by his jealousy, vanity, and recklessness. If there's still time for this modern King Lear.

Masterful writing and narration

A true page-turner. Completely absorbing from start to finish. The author’s imagination is vivid and powerful, and the story unfolds in a way that keeps you fully engaged.
Even more impressive is that the author is a neurologist writing about someone in a coma! His medical expertise adds real depth and authenticity, yet the writing is beautifully crafted and compelling. It’s rare to find someone who excels both as an MD and as a gifted storyteller.
The narration was outstanding. I especially loved the author’s voice — he could easily have been a professional actor or audiobook narrator. His delivery is engaging, expressive, and perfectly suited to the material, adding emotion and nuance that made the experience even more immersive.
An easy five stars. Highly recommend.
