Infinity

Chronos Ring #2

By: Earl E. Hardman

Narrated by: Mikael Naramore

Having saved humanity from an invading alien armada, Ian Lotus finds himself not rewarded but once again on the run - struggling to stay one step ahead of a galactic government intent on his capture.

However, you don't live as long as Lotus has - well beyond the lifespan of a normal human being - without picking up a trick or two, and Lotus is savvier than most. Catching him won't be easy. Still, his pursuers have a powerful incentive: their quarry is in possession of secrets that could reshape mankind's destiny - in particular, the fact that he's the only person capable of controlling the protective halo of weaponry known as the Chronos Ring, which is humanity's first and last line of defense against its enemies throughout the cosmos.

But human agents aren't all Lotus has to worry about. Also hot on his heels is an army of genetically-engineered horrors controlled by an exiled despot from an alternate dimension, who sees Lotus - and in particular, the Ring - as the pathway for both a return to power and the subjugation of humanity. It's up to Lotus to find a way to stop this menace, before the entire human race is enslaved.

I wish I had read the first one.

After listening to this novel I realized that since I did not read nor listen to the first novel, I was pretty lost in the storyline. The narrator was very good, great pace, enunciation and emotional levels were spot on and he was fun to listen to. I think that the blend of sci-fi and fantasy was well done, I just wished that I had all the character backstories from novel one. I think that I would have had less questions and going "huh". I was given an ARC of this novel and this is my honest review.

Review Infinity

Ok , I purchased book 1 and it was great, so I was happy to accept book 2 in exchange for a review. It did not let me down. Our ‘hero’ leads us on another multi dimensional adventure. Earl Hardman keeps it simple, enjoyable, full of action and fun adventure. Mikael Naramore brings this to life with a great performance. I’m looking forward to book 3:-)

Lotus struggles to stay a free man

*I have recieved this audiobook for free for an honest review*


I really liked the computer part of this book. It made me chuckle a few times. This is a fun story, it's out of my normal genre, but I still find the story line pretty good. I am unawares of how many books are in this series, but I will probably listen to them all.

Compassionate AI

I thought the beginning was rather slow, with unnecessary dialog. I thought it was going to set the tone for the whole book, but the story ended up being very interesting. The few things I disliked about it were how the narrative arc seemed to completely change directions without ever wrapping back around, to do with the main characters family and we never return to see them by the end. Otherwise, the story was fun, and I rather enjoyed the AI communicating with him, as well as the roundabout ways he was able to figure things out with the AI, like exactly which places the bad guys aren't, that was fun and clever.

FUN Sequel to EON

Although shorter and not as complex a storyline as the first book, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The narrator is excellent, the characters engaging, and you can really get behind our main Protagonist. Another winner, and I hope EEH continues with the saga.

Enemies old and new

Our hero is a valuable commodity, both for his knowledge and his inheritance. That also makes him a target.

This is the second book in an action adventure SF story and the adventure continues. The story continues to be well written with an enjoyable plot full of twists and turns that keep things moving. The story reads like a classic pulp or action adventure story, which means that occasionally the action takes precedence over logic, but then I don't have a problem with that. The characters are also well developed and have a nice sense of humor to them, particularly our hero. This is a fast paced story with non-stop action from start to finish. Overall, it was a highly enjoyable experience and I look forward to listing to the next book.

As an audio book review, I should also point out that the narration was excellent. Well paced, clearly enunciated and fun.

Highly recommended.

Short book

I recieved this audiobook free and my review is voluntary. The overall story was ok. It was a little fast paced and seemed a little crammed but the story was good.

The past is always with us

Great Narration!! he story picks up where is ended. The character is becoming one of my all time favorites.

Family Squabbles

Infinity is the second book in the Chronos Ring series. You can read this book as a standalone. Though the storyline will make more sense if you have read the first book. There is violence. I enjoy this series with its multiple planets and enemies. In this book our main character learns more about his family and the universe. I listened to the Audible version. The author spoke clearly and was easy to understand.

a perfect sequel and great listen

I have actually waited to listen to this sequel for many months. I love the first book and this story is no less memorable.
now I wait for the next chapter in tale of this "Lazarus Long" Keep them coming.
