Summary
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)

Totally original
Great, original story. So many twists and turns. I kept thinking that it would go one way but it head off in another direction. I really enjoyed this story. Great narration, I was never in any doubt as to who was talking, which was amazing considering how many characters there were.

Bear with this book because it takes a while to get going but, once it's going it just builds to a very satisfying end. Well worth listening to. brilliant!

AMAZING!
I wasn’t sure how Dennis could get close to his Bobiverse series but with this book he hasn’t disappointed! It’s close enough to that series that anyone who loved the Bobs will enjoy this but without just being a re-hash of it as the story is soo different! 🙂
Then there is Ray Porter... he excelled and I loved the use of effects with phone calls, intercom etc! Really brought out the characters to a level I didn’t expect! Great work!! 😊

like modern retelling of Day The Earth Stood Still
It's like modern retelling of The Day The Earth Stood Still. An exciting story that has you questioning if we really want to find life else where.
As always Ray Porter nails it too

Great Sci-fi
Story - The main story is quite original with likeable, smart and well developed characters.
Narration - Excellent with good radio communication sound effects.
Looking forward to the sequel!
I just hope that the quality of the story is sustained in the sequels unlike what happened in the third bobiverse book.

Clever stuff.
An intriguing proposition, well developed. A trifle depressing, though, as it's conclusion is that we're doomed whatever we do!
