Fifteen years after warring artificial intelligences nearly destroyed Earth, a young woman finds an artifact from that struggle, upsetting a delicate balance of power and dragging her into the middle of a new fight for humanity's survival.

With a significant portion of the planet covered in heat-absorbing black dust, Earth's biosphere teeters on the edge of collapse. One AI faction is attempting to fix the damage, with huge machines trundling across the countryside sucking up dust and planting grass, while another faction cares only about elevating itself to a higher plane of intelligence and will destroy anyone who gets in the way.

As the only humans still not controlled by AIs race to build huge orbital habitats so some humans will survive should temperatures continue to rise, a more secretive organization grows in the shadows and idolizes the man who triggered the nano-replicator attacks that nearly destroyed the world. They, too, believe the only way to stop the AIs is to annihilate everything.

In Nebula Award winner William Ledbetter’s Level Six, one woman has the power to save humanity - if she can survive long enough to use it.

Once again decorated by the narration of Macleod Andrews, Book Two is a fast paced romp, an easy and encompassing listen, and ends on a tasty sci-fi cliff hanger!

Such a fun listen! Book Two is a winner.

Fun listen, cool ideas, good story and an engaging ending leaving room for a third book. Which I hope is coming soon.

I hadn’t realized that this was book two in the series, but the author did a great job of filling in the backstory, so you didn’t feel like you had missed anything. It was an interesting book about the role of artificial intelligence in society and was thought-provoking. it was a little reminiscent of the Terminator series in that there were good AI and bad AI entities. And also, humans who wanted to see humanity wiped off the face of the Earth. But there seemed to be another theme as well that they were exploring. There was a lesbian couple and a homosexual couple. There were just references to it, but one partner of the lesbian couple was also bisexual. This caused the main character, Abby, to evaluate her feelings for her friend Julio. I didn’t particularly like the attitude that sex was a separate thing from romantic love. but I did enjoy the plot, and it moved quite quickly and was engaging. The narration was well-done. Note that there was some swearing.

Thought-provoking
