Great book, bugged by a few things

The book was great. The only issue I had was the positive light it brought on non science. Even though it was explained through as though virtual reality, it brought up pseudo science as real thing. Pseudoscience has no place in science fiction. That's fantasy.

Great Fun and Listen but please....

cease the Fantasy elements....Terry Schott! Stay in SCi FI/Mystery/Thriller . Of course, all these are already written but while I love the story, characters (a lot now), story arc and performance it is fringing on a Fantasy book just like what the other reviewer said.
Ready for more and I See that book 3 is going to be good. The 9 hours flew by

Didn't finish

I got through the first book, and enjoyed it some but the second book I actually regret buying. A little over halfway through I removed the download. Some parts were very interesting and others just were not and took up to much time for me. I would find myself distracted and not paying attention. Maybe it's partly because there are now gods, and greater power even in the real world. Tru is just looking like a second Jesus, it seems so unoriginal.

Downhill from the first book.

Immature writing, no new innovative ideas introduced and really harped on the religious aspect. Last hr and a half was a chore to get through.

Went from plausible Sci-Fi to unrealistic

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Not really its not my job to change things. I guess it could have been longer but its still alright.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Digital Heretic?

The moment when the book/series went from plausible sci-fi to super unlikely sci-fi. The first book had me thinking "This very well could be how the universe works" but this second book added in things that make it very unlikely. This kinda killed the series for me. I will probably listen to the other books but I am not itching to listen to the next one.

Which character – as performed by Luke Daniels – was your favorite?

All of them! Luke is such an amazing narrator. He is able to give characters a similar accent but still different enough for the listener to know what character it is.

Could you see Digital Heretic being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Maybe a made for TV series but not anything special.

Any additional comments?

Luke Daniels is an amazing narrator even if the author is sloppy and rushing to finish a book.

A large step backwards.

Really disappointed in this book. The first novel caught my attention and had me listening nonstop. I was very excited to continue this unique story. However, Digital Heretic just didn't follow up. With almost zero plot or character development this book seemed like a pure money grab. The conflicts that did arise seemed forced or made up on a whim. I just can't get behind a story where everything falls in place so easily, with no attention to existing plot details. Inventing a new character with superhuman powers?? Sure why not. Switching Danielle to be a completely dependent character rather than an outgoing leader. Sure why not. Just doesn't add up.

The narration was the only thing keeping me going. Well done Luke Daniels for carrying an otherwise dismal few hours.

Plenty of action and story progress

Secrets are revealed and explanations offered to explain most of the action and mysteries through the end of book 2. Clearly there is much more going on we haven't seen yet that will be explored in subsequent books. Good story and interesting characters. Solid 4 stars across the board.

Thought provoking with feelings

This series is going really well so far and I definitely enjoy listening to it, except for the fact that the 3rd book isn't available yet. This is a great book for sci-fi fantasy readers. Highly recommend
