Reviews
I tried to get through this 3 separate times and I just couldn’t follow it. I really wanted to like it, the story sounds great and there are such good reviews. I may try again later

Have enjoyed this one very much - especially the parts where the Texan narrator adopts a Russian accent.

Amazing story, fantastic production, intriguing characters. "I wouldn't mind insomnia, if only I could sleep through it" -Favourite line :D

Well worth the time to listen. I'm looking forward to more by this author.

Sci-fi meets James Bond type of adventure. Great listen. Loved the prologue.
Echo Groks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/12/12
Well written, well read and altogether a very very good podiobook. It combines science facts, theory and a little writers licence to enthrall the listener and make them question the universe around them.

Voice off-putting
G Ford via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/20/11
In my top 5 books I've ever listened to and that's out of hundreds. Excellent. Should be converted to a film . Would be massive
Damedusa via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/27/11
An excellent listen, found myself telling myself 'just one more chapter'. Loved the science info dumps, makes me want to learn more about black holes and space ( trying not to spoil the content). All in all an amazing book. Listen and enjoy.

One of the best books ever!
Bompi84 via Apple Podcasts · Norway · 04/18/11
This book is somewhat unique in the sci-fi genre in that the "sci" part is realistic and believable. Overall though the story is just so-so. It's not bad, but nothing that will keep you up all night either. The ending was predictable, but still turned out good. The reader has a very droning,...Read full review »

this is a great book. the author makes everything so the listener can understand what is going on.I look foward to dualism the sequal to this book

A great audiobook! It's well-crafted with interesting characters, an intriguing storyline and a thoroughly researched scientific backdrop. I truely enjoyed listening to Bill reading the novel himself.
Michael Sachgau via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/08/10
Bill's book and voice are great to listen to. I discovered this podcast when searching for a free science fiction podcast for a car trip. This is now part of my collection. My only issue is that the music at the start and finish of each podcast is louder than Bill's spoken voice.
tidimott via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/23/10
Beautifully written and beautifully acted...a great Sci-Fi podiobook.
Ali Siddiqui via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/16/10
I enjoyed every minute of this book.
David in CA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/10
This is one if the best science fiction novels I've ever read (listened too). Wonderful combination of well developed characters and legitimate science. A pure joy. I can't wait for the next novel. Thank you for putting in all the hard work.
EmergencyFiddle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/05/09
This book is boring through and through, Bills voice will make you fall asleep and the story is uninteresting. I dont think I could grasp what was going on in the story at any one time. The only thing this audiobook is good for is to help you fall asleep at night. Trust me none of the other...Read full review »

As posted before it will keep you up late! get it get it get it!! thats all ill say i cant do it much more justice than what...Read full review »

Bill delivers one of the most well written sci fi podcasts I've ever listened to. There is so much accurate science behind the story that you can really believe some of the more far fetched ideas. Bill has a great way of developing the characters so you can really identify with all of them. Well...Read full review »
Slamo75 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/09
I love the science: the story about the Texan is exciting. The other two threads are a bit boring and I have to admit I stopped listening at chapter 15 -- fully intending to finish it later. The narrator (and writer) is a bit monotone and it's hard to follow at times. It's good enough that...Read full review »

Best Podiobook I have listened to so far.
giacomodolce via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/08
I have read some of the other reviews and can understand some of their points. However, I still have to rate this as one of my favorite sci-fi books ever. It is so hard to develop an exciting plot from real historical events and hardcore astrophysics.....but Bill DeSmedt does it. Considering...Read full review »
drunta via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/29/08

mr potatohead via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/29/08
I am a scifi / fantasy freak since childhood. I love this book so far and I've only heard 3 episodes. His writing style feels polished and his descriptive style is wonderful. Many of the podiobooks are fun but they aren't all as well written as this. Thanks to the author for a great...Read full review »

Bill DeSmedt walks a fine line between fact and fiction,and in doing so produces great story. In short I can't say enought nice things about this book.Read full review »
Rodent54 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 08/09/08
At first I thought it was going to be amazing, a new favorite.  The premise is top-notch, and the book did a great job setting it up, linking it to real history, real science and also to slavic myth.  We are presented with a host of compelling characters with intriguing back-stories and...Read full review »
Josh Hugo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/26/08
I am 8 chapters into the book so far and I have to say it has been exciting. If I did it again, I'd skip the prologue because I don't like to know where the author is going, I like to be surprised, but the prologue gives away the entire direction of the book (the write-up probably does too, I...Read full review »

This is an excellent espionage thriller cleverly disguised as Sci-Fi. It is a realistic view of the ongoing cold war that captures the imagination and keeps the reader hook to the end. Also, his Russian accent is a spot on match. It's a wonder that it doesn't have more readers.Read full review »
Reed Keeper via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/07/08
overall i liked the book though the reader's voice is too soft and monotone at first and it makes it hard to get into especially at the beginning when the story is kind of slow
njnsong via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/08
But by the middle I was riveted! A wild ride in physics and SF, and even a bit of romance, so rare in hard sci fi!
kafelatte via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/08
Ever have that college art history proff that just drones on and on? That's how this is. Seemed like it would be a cool story, but this was classic monotone, "Ben Stein a la Ferris Bueller's Day Off" style of reading.
Octopon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/05/08
I've listened to several podiobooks, and this is the best by far! Extremely interesting, it kept me wishing I could listen to it at all times. A wonderful story, and well read, without all of the annoying "special effects" that other stories have. Enjoy!
waterbead via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/30/07
Any fan of heart-pounding action, cutting-edge science and a well-crafted story should not miss Singularity! The prolouge is a little dry, but give it a chance, once it picks up steam, it never stops. Without a doubt, one of the best sci-fi books I've ever listened to.
Zolofted via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/08/07
This was without doubt the best podiobook I have heard, the subject matter is fascinating and the story was delivered with great enthusiasm by the author. You can tell he enjoys his work, even though some of the accents were a little odd at times (I am sure Bill DeSmedt would be the first to say...Read full review »

A fantastic blend of science fiction, science fact (very well explained in laymen's terms) and intrigue. Strong characters and an engaging plot. Plenty of cliff hangers and surprises to keep you listening late into the night!
taa1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/07
This book does a great job of backing up a fantastic story with what I can only assume is really good scientific information. DeSmedt does a recites the narrative with a calm dignified voice that I really enjoy, and he has one of the best Russian accents I've heard. He also doesn't make the...Read full review »

Singularity to this date has been a excellent story and well produced podcast. The voices he uses are quite good, and I am enjoying the plot. Plus there is a quantum mechanical fireside chat and who doesn't love those. Its well worth the subscription. I'm hooked.
