Singularity


Gelesen von Bill DeSmedt

(4.8 Sterne; 70 Bewertungen)

What if the cataclysmic Tunguska explosion of 1908 was caused, not by a meteor or a comet, but by a microscopic black hole?

What if that fantastic object - smaller than an atom, older than the stars, heavier than a mountain - is still down there, orbiting deep inside the earth, slowly consuming the planet?

What if only a rookie government agent and an uncannily-insightful consultant stand between a renegade Russian billionaire and his plans to use the black hole to change history - or end it?

What if it's all true?

For an alternative view of the Tunguska event and to explore the science behind Singularity, visit the Vurdalak Conjecture website.

"Singularity is a swift, gripping novel with a goose-pimple mix of scary science and near-future action. An excellent debut from Bill DeSmedt - and I'll be looking forward to his next one!"- Greg Bear, Hugo and Nebula award-winning author

"DeSmedt veers an action-packed thriller into perilous realms of black hole physics. The combination of adrenaline and intellect sizzles."
- David Brin, Hugo and Nebula award-winning author

Singularity Episode 14 was posted without any title in the ID3 tag, this completely locked up my Sandisk MP3 player!! luckily it was on the SD card not the main drive, otherwise I would have had to reformat it to get it working again! As it was I had to ...


The best kind of science fiction: lots of science, lots of fiction, and single concept that changes the world. All wrapped up in a tasty coating of spy thriller. As a geologist I doubted the likelihood of the concept, then I ran some numbers and found the author's science impeccable. ...


Hey Bill and everyone else, I listened to Singularity a couple years ago. Loved it then. And have just listened to Dr. Jack's Seminars and Singularity again. This is such a fun book, holds up great, and continues to dazzle the imagination especially after the seminars. Wow! I think it ...

great story lots of believable science,great action and suspense and good characters all told wonderfully by the author.


Just finished a second listen of Singularity and am, again, impressed by it. The concept itself is fascinating and I know people very like Jon Knox. Is there any news on when Duality will be out?

Great Time
