Not my thing

It jsut lost me, it's not a rubbish book or story but it just did not engage me.. 60 mins left and we'll I cannot be bothered to finish it.. The general idea of the book was good but just did not deliver

A great plausible premise and full of twists,

What made the experience of listening to Nexus the most enjoyable?

Seems to paint a future not too far away but with profound consequences for Man. The technology explored seems plausible and the way people/societies react to it equally so, That's what made this a great read for me.

What other book might you compare Nexus to, and why?

Can't compare it to anything else I've read, it was quite refreshing.

Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Not sure I've heard Luke before, but he did a great job characterising the various players, really brought the story to life for me.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Rather than a book that I listened to "as and when" I had the chance, I made time to listen once I got hooked into it. That's rare for me.

Any additional comments?

Shame it had to end!

Both a great story and excellent framework

To be able to create such a compelling story whilst exploring such thought provoking topics around the future technology and humanity makes this book and series spectacular. The narrator in this book is excellent and the character work superb. There are sufficient clever and compelling plot twists and great characterisation to make a very good novel even without the clear x-factor this book has. But the brilliantly presented and creative technological backdrop is really impressive. The author leveraged his technical knowledge brilliantly. If there is a better near future series out there I’d be overjoyed to find it.

The best fictional book I've read

The best fictional book I've read. Thought provoking, philosophical and thrilling. Very well narrated. Definitely recommend.

My first sci-fi book

I thought I was going to hate it but once I started I couldn’t put it down even at my age of nearly 65 the pace in which the world is changing and the ability to use the brain in so many different ways is exhilarating. I would recommend anyone who has an interest in the future and who understands that sci-fi often becomes the future to read or listen to this.

Interesting idea

The idea for this story is good but the characters are too shallow to have any empathy with them. The plot also seems implausible at times. It is set in the near future but social morés seem contemporary, as do the intelligence community.

Too much action for my liking

It was like an american popcorn movie, with a lot of boring action, although there were interesting concepts that haven't been used much.
