Since I started my new job, I now have a 35-40 minute commute to work so I started listening to audiobooks again. I found a free audiobook called Singularity by Bill DeSmedt at podiobooks.com. From the site:
What if the cataclysmic Tunguska explosion of 1908 was caused, not by a meteor or a comet, but by a microscopic black hole?
What if that fantastic object – smaller than an atom, older than the stars, heavier than a mountain – is still down there, orbiting deep inside the earth, slowly consuming the planet?
What if only a rookie government agent and an uncannily-insightful consultant stand between a renegade Russian billionaire and his plans to use the black hole to change history – or end it?
What if it’s all true?
I thoroughly enjoyed Singularity – in fact, there were times I didn’t want to leave the car because I was so involved in the story. The author does a great job narrating and really keeps you involved. It does gets a bit technical at times with things like quantum theory, the time-space continuum, etc. but it was action-packed and quite entertaining.
If you’re looking for an action-thriller with a scientific bent to it, you can’t go wrong with Singularity.
Glad you enjoyed Singularity, and thanks for the kind words.
BTW, you might be interested to know that I’ve just (as of last night) started up a blog on my MySpace page . It’s called “The Accidental Author” and will talk about the writing of Singularity, mongst other things. Enjoy!
Best,
Bill
