Acerca de esta escucha
While dining out with his family, an ex-marine goes berserk and violently kills a congressman. Detective Cliff Ambrose and his partner from LAPD VR (virtual reality) investigations department are assigned the case. It is like nothing they have ever encountered before.
The founder of Virtual Perfection, Brad Dixon, is rushing to release radically new technology. It allows the human brain to interface directly with the VR world. The technology creates extremely realistic simulations that do away with awkward devices needed to interact with the senses. This makes the whole experience indistinguishable from reality itself.
Brad is having an affair with Maxine Dale, his executive assistant. Brad implements a scheme to drive his wife Audra insane through the use of his new technology. He does this in order to take over the company. Audra, Brad’s wife and part-owner of the company, is having an affair with Martin Cooper, the senior engineer at virtual perfection.
While this is going on, Audra’s uncle and chairman of the board for VP is working on a deal to sell an artificial intelligence system to the army. It will integrate all commands and remove the human decision from the command structure, making it completely run by computers. Army command, as well as government, is resistant to this idea. A secret group is working to eliminate the opposition through perfect crime. This is achieved through the use of VR technology.
Several other characters and subplots interact with these to create a murder mystery story fused with virtual reality. Who is responsible for what? What is the real plot remains elusive throughout? What is really happening and what is virtual reality remains an intriguing and captivating mystery throughout the entire story.
The Virtual Soul of the City is a technothriller set in the near future. It goes to great lengths to display likely technology, interesting characters along with several intermeshed and intricate pots. The result is a captivating mystery that should appeal to a wide range of people.

They were the Savages. Raiders from our distant past. Elites who left Earth to create tailor-made utopias aboard the massive lighthuggers that crawled through the darkness between the stars. But the people they left behind on a dying planet didn't perish in the dystopian nightmare the Savages had themselves created: they thrived, discovering faster-than-light technology and using it to colonize the galaxy ahead of the Savages, forming fantastic new civilizations that surpassed the wildest dreams of Old Earth.

On the planet Tython, the ancient Je’daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force - and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency.

Mars is changing. Seemingly overnight the once "Red" planet is turning to gray. Something is happening, something unnatural. A team of, literally, rocket scientists figure out a way to send a probe, very fast, to Mars to determine how and why it is changing. However, when the probe is destroyed well short of the formerly red planet, it's apparent that Mars is being used as a staging ground. The only viable target for that staging ground is Earth.

The first-ever inside look at the US military’s secretive Remotely Piloted Aircraft program - equal parts techno-thriller, historical account, and war memoir. Remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), commonly referred to by the media as drones, are a mysterious and headline-making tool in the military’s counterterrorism arsenal. Their story has been pieced together by technology reporters, major newspapers, and on-the-ground accounts from the Middle East, but it has never been fully told by an insider.

Closely modeled on his NATO experience of war gaming future conflicts, War with Russia is a chilling account of where we are heading if we fail to recognise the threat posed by the Russian president. Written by the recently retired Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe and endorsed by senior military figures, this audiobook shows how war with Russia could erupt, with the bloodiest and most appalling consequences, if the necessary steps are not taken urgently.
