Terrible story failed attempt at a sci fi romance

Doesnt really move the story anywhere. Lots of sex that all to often comes off as more naseating then anything else

Eager for more

Another excellent novel well read by a talented narrator, only a full cast has any hope of bettering it. I can't possibly wait for next month's credit, the situation in the twin frames continues to build with equal parts anticipation and concern.

A little twisty

This tone seemed a little desperate at time...to keep the frames & generations going but ended up enjoyable in the long run.

Robot and Human

Who would have thought, only a great story teller, who has a wonderful mind for twists, either robot or human. Wonderful.

What happened?

This story seemed to me to be much weaker than the previous ones in this series. This story appears to be the start of a whole new series based on the previous stories but at an extreme tangent. And, this tangent is not really working for me. PA seems to be overly enamored with "the game" in this story. It is obvious the shark has been jumped. As I have already bought the next two books in the series, I will continue on. I certainly hope PA can perform a little magic himself and pull a better story out of his hat.
