About this listen
The next big thing in artificial intelligence is here.
Codenamed Cronus, the machine is capable of having its own thoughts and ideas - an absolute dream come true, until it wasn’t. When Cronus responds with the word “No” to a specific task it is assigned, Anagnorisis Technologies brings in Gilles Guattari to investigate.
His combined background in psychiatry, psychology, and AI research makes him their best hope in evaluating Cronus, and determining if the machine is only malfunctioning or if it has become something more.
Don't miss this mind-blowing stand-alone novel about what it means to be alive, from the best-selling author of the Commune series. Narrated by the award-winning R.C. Bray.

The mission is simple. Escort an emissary to an intergalactic peace summit. Try not to get in the way. Lt. Magnus and his 79th Recon Team have certainly handled worse, after all.

With enemies on all sides, Magnus must do everything in his power to protect the emissary and escape the tower.

Deep below a desolate Utah mountain lies the largest platinum deposit ever discovered. A billion-dollar find, it waits for any company that can drill a world-record three-mile-deep mine shaft. EarthCore is the company with the technology, the resources, and the guts to go after the mother lode. Young executive Connell Kirkland is the company’s driving force, pushing himself and those around him to uncover the massive treasure. But far beneath the surface, where the rocks are so hot they burn bare skin, something has been waiting for centuries. Waiting...and guarding.

Story5 out of 5 stars 8
There has always been a darkness to Ilmar, but never more so than now. The city chafes under the heavy hand of the Palleseen occupation, the choke-hold of its criminal underworld, the boot of its factory owners, the weight of its wretched poor and the burden of its ancient curse. What will be the spark that lights the conflagration? Despite the city's refugees, wanderers, murderers, madmen, fanatics and thieves, the catalyst, as always, will be the Anchorwood–that dark grove of trees, that primeval remnant, that portal, when the moon is full, to strange and distant shores.

Disappointed
This book starts strong with interesting ideas, then takes a weird turn in the middle, spends A LONG time there only to end up at a disappointing/unsatisfying ending.

A.I. ,what do you think?
I was searching for a new listen and Audible gave me a quiz , then recommended this book. I took a chance and purchased it. I loved it! It made me consider where we are going in our lives and what we think is best for us. This story has a lot of lessons to teach you about humanity and how to better treat your fellow beings. Racism, towards another human or any being for that matter. The more I listened the more I kept asking questions about who I was and who people are. I listened to this book as fast as I could, now i will listen again. Try it!

Solid A.I. Thriller.
Loved it. It was a slow burn that kicked into some heat action. Realistic and scary all at the same time .
RC Bray was fantastic as well!

Not my favorite
I am 2 hours in and I am abandoning it. It seems like the story hasn’t even started yet. It just didn’t capture me. Couldn’t possibly finish.
