Very fun, and big thoughts, too — who should get access to enhancement, what makes us human, could we engineer our evolution into a new species. Glad to see more neuroscientists in action -- and some of them are good guys! I usually like more character development and subtler dialogue, but was willi...

Action, Thriller, Science Fiction, Cyberpunk, Dystopia, Hackers, Spies, ... what more could you hope for!? Highly recommended, and thoroughly enjoyed!(Warning grandma, it's pretty vulgar!)

My full Nexus audiobook review can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.Nexus starts off like a punch to the solar plexus, hits you real hard and fast and leave you trying desperately to catch your breath.

Fun action. Interesting theories. Complicated science.Nexus is a fun and complicated story. I loved the action--there was something that got my heart racing every few pages. I didn't enjoy the science so much. I'm a smart guy, but there were a lot of details that went way over my head. It would hav...
