Singularity trap by Dennis E Taylor.

 

        I had this title since 2015 and a funny thing happened. I began to hate the word "Singularity." as certain right wing-nut began to talk about the "Singularity." Like all the time. And had no idea what he meant by that other than it became a word that ended any discussion on any subject. 

       So this book just sat there on the App for nearly a decade. Now I am a bit mad at my  not so sub-conscience mind for the delay in the listen. A great book about a down on his luck family man trying to strike it rich in the field of space mining. But a mistake on an asteroid changed all that. 

      As a member of First Contact genre, this is about as original as they come. And at the time of this review 3/1 Atlas is making a drive by in our system and to read a this book in November of 2025 felt so right.

     I have yet to not love a single Dennis E Taylor book. If you are a fan of Andy Weir or Douglas Adams, you need to add Dennis E Taylor in your reading rotation. Plus his audiobooks are performed by the fabulous Ray Porter, one of the best in the business. Also,  Dennis E Taylor's  books are  incredibly cheap. Take a chance on an author who keeps his ebooks below $7 as a rule.
