Dark Mind audiobook

Great SiFi series and each book holds it own as a great read. If you like you SiFi based on some good hard science both real and theoretical then Mr Douglas does the perfect writing job for you. Very recommended

Always a thrilling adventure from Ian Douglas. Set far away from Earth Admiral Gray runs into the smallest enemy and the most powerful enemy humanity has faced so far. The America AI leads Gray and his ship through a portal to a completely unknown area of space with a Dyson ring that has been destroyed.Well developed characters and great story development.Recommended Author and series

I find it difficult to rate and review this book. Overall I found it quite enjoyable to read, enough for a four star rating, but I also got the feeling that the book series is not progressing as I would have liked and has perhaps even outstayed it’s welcome a wee bit.The first books were rather straightforward space adventure pitting humans against a technologically superior foe. Great action, technically and scientifically sound, great characters and generally well written.In the latest book you sometimes get the feeling that the author is struggling to invent more and more mysterious and complicated enemies and plots. The enemies are everything from intelligent bacteria to huge planet sized brains. The action is generally fairly one sided where the various alien entities beat the crap out of the humans and any victories for the home team is not won by superior tactics and military prowess but by various complicated schemes using things the humans do not really fully understand.In addition to this little gripe of mine the author spends a lot of time wandering out into technological and, sometimes, philosophical musings. It is difficult for me to complain about this since I generally like science fiction that has a solid foundation in science but you can have too much of everything. In this book I felt like there was just too much info-dumping going on. It was like a musical where the plot is interrupted by some song and dance every so often except in the book it was interrupted by these long blobs of text which did not really move the plot forward.However, despite this I quite enjoyed the book. It could have been better as far as I am concerned but it is still a good and well written book.

God's and TechnologyWhen an advanced civilization makes way for the hero's of Earth we get everything from ghosts to a master AI. Do humans win or becoming the pawns?

A great book in line with the previous ones in this series.The only difference is that this is a bit more heavy on the astro-philosophy. There is so much greatness happening all the time that you can't read it for just half an hour at a time - it deserves more time to really reflect over the implications of what the author is suggesting.

There is good reason why this my favorite Sci-fi authorIan Douglas has entertained me so well for many years now and he sure lived up to my expectations with Dark Mind. His research into technical possibilities is the best I have ever read and along with a fantastic imagination his books are so thought provoking and immensely entertaining. It’s always hard to wait for his next book, but I sure do follow and anticipate each one. Thanks for another great read and hurry up with another please.... :)

Brilliant xenobiology, excellent technical information, and a creative scope as big as the universe, Ian Douglas really has the right stuff in this instillation of the long running Star Carrier Series. A really great alien bacteria plays an interesting role, but you've got to read it to believe it. Plausible for four centuries in the future? I sure hope so. Space Opera is so so hopeful compared to post-apocalyptic science fiction, I just want Douglas to be proven prescient...about most things.

A good, fast paced, enjoyable summer read ! Plenty of science in this science fiction ! A lot of mind boggling ideas and concepts abound in this series !More than enough space battles to satisfy my needs !

A good story line and interesting decisions to be made. The story was interesting and held my attention. I was surprised by the ending and a little put off so I am giving four stars. I highly recommend this book to any hard military sci-fi fan.

Terrific The entire series has been great. Innumerable twists and turns, great aliens and believable technology. And the story line is highly consistent even though it spans hundreds of years.

Another good one in this series It has been a while since I read a book in this series. I am not Disappointed! It brings back memories of the other books, characters, experiences and one of my favorites, technology.

Great addition to the Series I enjoyed this addition to the Series. The science was current and fit the story. Nothing seemed like magic. Would be nice to get a listing the references used.

About what you except from Ian Douglas. Space fighting and exploration of various theories and ideas. I'm disappointed in how much over lap and similarities his series are getting into now. This book could have been confused for book 1 of his Andromeda series.

I really enjoy this seriesIf you want more detail about this series see my previous posts on earlier books. However, it’s enough to say here that I really enjoy the series.

Turns out it was all just mitichlorians...

Entreating, creative, engaging. love every page
