About this listen

Dennis E. Taylor, author of the best-selling Bobiverse trilogy, explores a whole different, darker world in this sci-fi stand-alone. Determined to give his wife and children a better life back home, Ivan Pritchard ventures to the edge of known space to join the crew of the Mad Astra as an asteroid miner. He's prepared for hard work and loneliness—but not the unthinkable. After coming into contact with a mysterious alien substance, Pritchard finds an unwelcome entity sharing his mind, and a disturbing physical transformation taking place. With his very humanity at stake, Pritchard must save mankind from a full-scale interstellar war.

Brought to life by prolific, award-winning narrator Ray Porter, The Singularity Trap is a thrilling adventure rife with drama and action on a truly cosmic scale.

Critic reviews

“Dennis Taylor serves up a top-notch outer-space adventure…. Ray Porter’s narration is simply brilliant…. In addition to suspense, action, futuristic detail, and moments of comedy, the book brings a light, investigative touch to the question of what exactly human identity is.” (The Washington Post)

A good story that had me involved to the end. The sound was very good with realistic effects for radio, intercom, phone and computer.

Good story with a great use of sound.

Another fantastic start to what i can only hope will be another amazing trilogy!

Dennis does an awesome job on build and creating a story line that leaves you with wanting more. Its not another BOB its a band new style. He has created a story that pulls you in to a story where you feel you can predict the outcome and every time you think you have it sussed a new spanner is throw in to the works. The use of technology and terminology is great and does not leave you feeling like you have no idea whats going on.

Ray as per the BOB books does an awesome job in really bring each and every person to life.

5 out of 5 from me!

Just Awesome!

love this author, I really appreciate how human each character is. The story romps along as well. Also, the production on this audio book is (if you'll pardon the pun) "out of this world"

Good story, brilliant production

I'm not a huge sci-fi book fan and normal listen to non fiction on Audible but I have to say this although at bit out of my wheelhouse was actually a very enjoyable book that I would recommend to everyone.

not my normal listen but loved every minute

slow start sets out the bleak future we are all heading for and builds to a great sc fi ending. caractors are introduced and built into a cohesive group moving to a frightening end play with the fate of the human race in the balance. nicely voiced with a dark humour that keeps the listener glued to the unfolding story.

builds to a thrilling finish

Use of voice effect and accents really bring the book to life. Tethered to an engaging storyline similar in outlook to the bobiverse books (but with a darker twist). I endorese this.

fun space romp
