Another solid story.

Not on the level of the bobiverse, but entertaining enough. I'm curious where the author will take it in the sequels.

Absolute amazing book

I love this book, great speaker and really cool humor and jokes make it all feel like I'm part of it. I mean literally, it could be my brain living it. I couldn't stop listening to it. I can't wait for the next book, please hurry up Mr. Taylor :-)

My new favorite author!

Once again, a nicely paced. Easy to follow. Nice and witty dialogues. Attractive even for NotSciFifans. Tension building all the way to the end. I could not stop to read. Character building while telling a captive story.

Haarsträubend

Protagonisten verhalten sich so unglaublich unrealistisch naiv, dass es weh tut. Dumme Entscheidungen am laufenden Band. Manchmal wird damit meta kokettiert (wir sind nunmal noch Studenten), aber das macht es nicht besser. Emotionale Tiefe fehlt und der Autor stellt soziale Dynamiken so unbeholfen dar, dass es wirklich atemberaubend ist.

Fascinating

This audio books simply sucks you in, chews on you and will spit you out devastated. I liked it👍

as a fan of the bobiverse-trilogy

i've tried this book even as english is not my native language and it is fairly difficult to understand the details of an foreign language. But Ray Porter does a great job reading in a manner for us to understand everything.
Even if the story is completely different from the bob-books i had lots of fun reading it.
Nice work, Mr Taylor!

What if...?

What would you do if you found a way to open a portal to another dimension?

The outbreak of a super volcano threatens the world.
Effects of the disaster are downplayed until it is too late.

Now the inventors try to rescue as many people as possible to the alternate world.

- no obviously stupid mistakes by the protagonists
- thought-through decisions
- dealing with revolutionary technology

- well read by Ray Porter
- there might be a book two

Did you like Wildside by Steven Gould? Than this is a book for you.

One of the best books I ever read

Honestly, no person can tell me Dennis E. Taylor isn't a talented Science Fiction Author. Scientifically researched, tense, just the right amount of romance and social interaction, believable world and characters, it's incredible what he managed to bring to paper. I can only recommend this book if you like Sci Fi. Can't wait for Book two.

Fun little distraction

If you are looking for a short, feel-good little sci-fi story, this will definitely do the trick. It is entertaining while it lasts, but ends a bit abruptly and probably won't occupy your memory for long.

Meh

I liked the set-up, but thought the character development was pretty weak. Most prominently, the bad guys were just not acting consistently and especially the later conflicts resulting from that were pretty ludacris. A well written baddy is one who you can still follow, at best empathize with. At least the author must feel these characters and take their point of view when writing. In this book I didn't feel that that was the case.
