I won this through the Goodreads First-Reads giveaway so a big "Thank You!" to goodreads and Mr. Ronco for the free copy.
I began this book not realizing that it's actually book 3 of a series. The 1st two books being Peacemaker and Unholy Domain. That being said, I thought this book worked great as a stand-alone novel. It's a smart, fast-paced thriller that takes place in an all too believable future world. I can't wait to read the two prequels.

As indicated in my profile, I am not a sci-fi fan. In general, I prefer my reading material to be a reflection of the world we live in (which is terrifying in itself) rather than an author's vision of a world that is yet to come. One of the few authors able to deflect my sci-fi aversion is Dan Ronco. He did it first with his novel UNHOLY DOMAIN and now his follow-up 2031 - THE SINGULARITY POGROM has me equally intrigued with his visualization of life on earth twenty years from now.

The year is 2025. It has been thirteen years since; Ray Brown attempted to stop Dianne Morgan and the computer virus, Peacemaker. Ray was unsuccessful and therefore is paying for it. Dianne sent Ray to a fairly secluded island. The only other person on the island is a man named Paul Martino. The first inhabitants to arrive on the island are androids and guards out to eliminate Ray and Paul. Luck is on their side. Ray and Paul are rescued by an African warlord by the name of Nkumah. Nkumah wants

Unfortunately, this is a case where the presentation subsumed and drowned out the content. This e-book was either churned out by a computer or a freakin' imbesile, because I have never seen so many combined words, misspellings, and awkwardly broken sentences. Not much else can be said about it, and I am so tired of wading through the text that my only thought is that I can't believe I actually finished it (or spent money on it, for that matter). I give it a three star review out of guilt, becaus

If this book is anything to go by, in the next 20 years humans will develop the following technologies; pills we can take that are capable of simulating all the benefits of sleep without actually sleeping, hovercrafts, wallet-sized computers, and robots that wouldn't be too far out of place in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (still no Mood Organs yet, though). And that's just the everyday stuff. Genetic engineering will advance by leaps and bounds and diseases we can barely treat with curre

When I started this book, I wondered if it would make sense without reading the previous two books in the series. Within the first chapter Dan Ronco had me hooked. While this book is a techno-thriller that pulls you in quick; it will keep you going to the end. The entire premise of the story is the possibility of artificial intelligence combined with mankind’s evolution. Mr. Ronco explores this possible future and what could happen when technology is distorted or misused. His characters ar

Not bad, though the editing on the Kindle left a little bit to be desired (spacing, etc). I downloaded his other 2 books.

I believe the beginning had some big structure and pacing problems. That's why it was hard to accompany the plot and keep me interested. It has a lot of good ideas but unfortunately, the way it was presented didn't value the content. Perhaps some more editing and focus on the story would have pleased me more. The writing didn't captivate me and keep reading. I'm a big sci-fi fan but I guess this one wasn't my cup of tea.

I won this as a Goodreads First-Read.
Not really my preferred genre to read, but I gave it a go and did find myself getting more interested as it went on. Definitely recommended, especially those who really like sci-fi and that area of reading.

About a time in the future when humans and artifical intelligence are either going to combine or dominate the other. Good book, but the ending was a bit disappointing.
