What did you love best about The Post-Human Omnibus?

I loved the vision of humanity's future. Even though humans have become super- human, the moral decency and co-operation still exists. The Purists living outside the mainstream mirrors how our civilization operates... a great comparison.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Post-Human Omnibus?

When Keats and his team returned from Venus and find all humans destroyed stunned me. I was in shock trying to understand what could have happened.Finding the Purists' base and finding other humans was such a relief.

Which character – as performed by Ray Chase – was your favorite?

Oldtimer Craig was the character I felt Ray Chase did best. The gravely voice and inflections he used to portray his character was right on how I imagined him to be.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It's hard to pick just one moment from the omnibus, but I'd have to say when James reversed time back 22 hours and saved humanity and out witted One was exhilarating and very satisfying. I was overjoyed!

Any additional comments?

Turn up the volume and hang on for the most unimaginable and exciting ride of your life. David Simpson puts a spin on concepts of Asimov and Clarke that will leave you wanting more!

Would you consider the audio edition of Post-Human to be better than the print version?

I will always prefer the printed book, but I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it being read.

What other book might you compare Post-Human to and why?

Before reading the Post-Human series, I had never read a book that compared to the concepts that David Simpson puts out there. The only other comparison I can make is to The Matrix. The idea of a all encompassing A.I. that guides humanity wasn't something I thought about before reading Post-Human.

Have you listened to any of Ray Chase’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is the first time I've heard Ray Chase. He has a very pleasant voice reminiscent of the voice of Sam Neill... an actor with a distinct accent and way of speaking.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

OMG... This book grabbed my attention from the very beginning and didn't let go! This is the book and audiobook that started my love of the Post-Human series!

Any additional comments?

Even though I've read the Kindle edition of the books, I decided to purchase the audio version of the "Post-Human" series. I rarely listen to audiobooks. I'm ADD and it's very easy for me to get distracted from the narration. I didn't have that problem with Ray Chase's narration. His voice was soothing and didn't grate; he was very easy to follow.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this audiobook to anyone. The story line is easy to grasp and Ray Chase keeps the narration exciting. The Post-Human series takes a look at what man and machine can become.

What did you like best about this story?

Other than the human/machine connection and evolution of man, I particularly liked the fact that I wasn't left hanging as situations played out.

Which character – as performed by Ray Chase – was your favorite?

Old-Timer... his personality and verbal dueling with James is so down to earth (pun intended).

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

Yes... and I did. I put on my ear buds and kept it with me throughout the day as I worked.

If you could sum up Human Plus in three words, what would they be?

Thrilling, thought-provoking, ingenious

What was one of the most memorable moments of Human Plus?

When the A.I. sacrificed himself for humanity.

Have you listened to any of Ray Chase’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Ray Chase is fairly consistent in the performance he gives in the 3 books I've listened to.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed and cried throughout. I was very happy to learn that the A.I. hadn't been destroyed, that it had all been a test.
