À propos de cet audio

If they upload again, what will they find?

Audible’s blockbuster original series returns with the much-anticipated sequel.

It’s 2555 and the remaining members of the Phoenix colony, both convicts and astronauts, have fully integrated since they were originally downloaded from cryogenic suspension.

Now, as the countdown to Earth's final day approaches, two groups of colonists prepare to leave on separate missions.

One group, led by Captain Letitia Garvey, will re-upload to the quantum system as they head to Zeta Tucanae to complete the original astronaut mission, while the other, led by Mayor Roscoe Koudoulian, will begin a new colony on Mars, safely away from the asteroid about to hit Earth. But tragedy strikes on the day Roscoe is set to leave, forcing him to upload his consciousness as well. Back inside their virtual silos, the astronauts and convicts alike encounter mysterious digital duplicates that could destroy their stored consciousnesses forever. In a race against time, they are forced to make impossible choices in order to exist in a world where the line between human and digital reality has blurred.

From Canada's most decorated sci-fi author Robert J. Sawyer and featuring Brendan Fraser (Academy Award winner) and Vanessa Sears (Dora Award winner), The Downloaded 2: Ghosts in the Machine is a thought-provoking sci-fi thriller that takes you on a mind-bending journey where identity, memory, and morality collide in a collapsing digital future.

Like the first one, this is a fantastic book. and my only disappointment was that it ended. Without spoiling the ending, I'll just say that I wanted it to continue so much, and hopefully with he same voices. I always like Brendan Fraser and .I'm happy that is back doing many projects. I got the first book for free with audible, but paid right away for this second one.

The way gender identity is explored is very interesting I feel like many books could be written in that universe to explore that in more depth.

I want the sequel

I just finished Downloaded 2. The story was amazing. Such deep characters with great depictions on how people react to different situations. Robert Sawyer always presents a story that is not just aliens and spaceships but represent real people. The little girl talking to and about her daddy made me cry several times, Brendan Fraser and the other narrators were engaging and real. I highly recommend

Wonder Book

For me this was even more enjoyable than the first book. I was able to sit back and listen to the story without all the sound effects going on.

Being a Canadian it was nice to have part of the book taking place in Canada in places I have been to often.

Robert J Sawyer has a gift that makes him one of the top Sci-fi writers in the world.

The cast for the performance of the book were right on, it did not feel like they were reading the book but more like they were living it.

I look forward to a third book for the answers to questions that were hinted at.

Talented Performance

I miss the more robust voice cast of The Downloaded, but the story is great with much more urgency and builds on characters with a smaller cast of characters.

A nice continuation, feels like a different genre from the first.

I really enjoyed going along with eh familiar characters as their story changed. I found this sequel delightfully unpredictable. Would recommend to a friend!

Not as good as the first, but still a great read.
