Basically, it's more of the same as Prequel and Alpha, which is all quite good and keeps one rivetted and moving along at a very good pace but, and here's the thing, i just can't handle diving into Gamma at the moment, it's all become a bit too much.

Yeah, for now at least, i've totally overloaded all of my data banks and overheated my CPU's with all this hacking, AI's, post apocalypse chaos, everyone wanting to kill each other and take over the world, etc., etc..

So i'm off for some quiter paced reading for a while and maybe i'll get back to reading Gamma and finishing the series sometime in the future, maybe not. ( )

Beta by Colin F. Barnes

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Book 2 in series with 4 and a "prequel", even the blurb is a spoiler.

I liked it. It is fast paced, the protagonist and co-protagonists are interesting and likable and forever in dire straights. The antagonists are deliciously evil and seemingly impossible to overcome.

Colin is an indie author I've blatantly called amateur, but he is professionally courageous as a writer and clearly understands the craft.

I both read the ebook and listened to the audiobook simultaneously. Marc Vietor is an excellent narrator.

"Blurb"
The fanatical Red Widows sweep destruction across the abandoned lands. Their aggression threatens to destroy the city Gerry had risked his life to save. Petal, the woman Gerry has come to love is dying. The despotic cabal, The Family, demand he brings her to them, but she's missing, running from the Widows, searching for the truth of her origins before it's too late. When their paths cross, Petal and Gerry will hold the fate of humankind in their hands—if they can survive the malevolent digital entity that stalks them from the shadows. Code Breakers: Beta is a post-apocalyptic, near-future thriller that will delight fans of The Matrix, Neuromancer, and Blade Runner.
