Resumen del Editor
Joan Herl the commander of the space station Oasis and her husband Colonel Tom Herl contact Admiral Hagerly, who is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He, President Patterson, and the remainder of the government have taken refuge on the aircraft carrier Fittsburg in the middle of the Atlantic. The few remaining humans welcome the returning crew members from the moon colony Desert Beach.
One of the Oasis crew members, Dr. Julius Harold steels the key elements of the rogue computer and flees. They both have ulterior motives.
The remaining population of the human race must find a way to deal with the tremendous loss as individuals, humans, and for the entire planet.
After they have dealt with the aftermath and began putting their lives back together, the likely explanation for the sudden virus appears, and they must find a way to deal with the next great threat to their lives. The coincidence is too unlikely to believe. Now they have to band together and face the second direst impact to the human race.

Concealed deep within China's inland borders is one of the most secret airplanes ever flown, known as Devil Dragon. She's sleek, unbelievably fast, and mysterious - her test pilots have one mission in mind: make her test flights successful for operational use as soon as possible. Or sooner. But when strange transmissions of pilots are recorded without an aircraft appearing on radar and bizarre cell phone signals are detected at towers hundreds of miles apart, Ford Stevens is asked to take on the most dangerous assignment of his life.

In August 1968 NASA made a bold decision: In just 16 weeks, the United States would launch humankind's first flight to the moon. Only the year before, three astronauts had burned to death in their spacecraft, and since then the Apollo program had suffered one setback after another. Meanwhile, the Russians were winning the space race, the Cold War was getting hotter by the month, and President Kennedy's promise to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade seemed sure to be broken.

By August 1968, the American space program was in danger of failing in its two most important objectives: to land a man on the moon by President Kennedy's end-of-decade deadline and to triumph over the Soviets in space. With its back against the wall, NASA made an almost unimaginable leap: It would scrap its usual methodical approach and risk everything on a sudden launch, sending the first men in history to the moon - in just four months.

People love easily. Look at most of your relatives or coworkers. How lovable are they? Really? Yet most have mates and children. The vast majority are still invited to family gatherings and their relatives will speak to them. Many have pets to which they are devoted. Some even call them their fur-babies. Is your dog or cat or parakeet property or family? Not in law but in your heart? Can a pet really love you back? Or is it a different affection? Are you not kind to those who feed and shelter you? But what if your dog could talk back? Would your cat speak to you kindly?

Better than the previous one
I have received from the author a copy of this book in audio format in exchange for an honest review.
Just a few humans have survived the virus and SIMPOC and other computers make their mission to learn and assist these humans.
After the abrupt inclusion of humans in the first novel I was a bit worried about the development of events, but this second part is much more balanced. We met the computer, we met the humans, and now they can interact and start working in rebuilding the world, when they discover what the virus really was.
This intrigue was what I missed on the first novel, and elevates the story to a different level. The book ends with a cliffhanger that will have us wondering what will come next.
Zachary Johnson did again a good job, but I missed a bit of tone changes to differentiate the characters.
In conclusion, it is a book I would recommend, but I would like to see all the stories together one day published in a regular length and format book.

Survivors, but Better Behaved
Most of these 'Survivors' are definitely better behaved than those on the reality show, but there are a few......
I highly recommend reading book 1 to give you background on how SIMPOC (Synapse Integrated Massive Parallel Organic Computer) became self aware and decides to assist the remaining humans after a global catastrophe, the saga of the astronauts currently off world, and many other things that will increase your enjoyment of book 2.
There is plenty of intrigue and excitement when you throw in an evil scientist building an AI of his own, humans acting at their best and their worse, world governments behaving badly while others are humane, and there are still humans on the Moon and Mars. Oh yes, and towards the end of this book another 'problem' pops up (snicker).
My favorite part of this book is watching SIMPOC's creation Alpha interact with humans and learn what words like love, family, children, and grief really are.
Zachary Johnson again gives us enjoyable and varied vocals, complete with emotion. In one case the disdain portrayed was so clear that I wanted to punch the character.

I had to listen to SIMPOC, book 1 before this one to refresh my memory. This story leads us onto a better understanding as to what is happening in the world. I am looking forward to the next installment of this series.
Thank you Ray for letting me listen to this audio.

It definitely has an Andromeda Strain/Space Odysse
I'm a bit sad that I didn't read SIMPOC the Thinking Computer before this book. I think I would have understood things a lot quicker and enjoyed the story faster. Despite this, I enjoyed the story. It definitely has an Andromeda Strain/Space Odyssey vibe. It does have a bit of a cliffhanger just before the climax of the overall series, so that's a bit of a shame.
I listened to the audio version and Zachary Johnson did a decent job narrating the computer parts, but overall he missed out on characterization. All the voices and narration used the same voice, so it was difficult to tell the characters apart. But his pacing was good.

As if the first book wasn't enough of an exploration of an unparalleled event, when I opened Book 2 things accelerated - and a quest for survival of our species takes an unexpected turn for the overwhelming. Characters you already care about and some well developed newcomers add to pulling you into the storyline. Never a dull moment seems to be a good description of this continuation of an epic with unlimited potential

Very interesting listen...loved the book!
I really enjoyed this second installment of the SIMPOC series. I, again, really love the idea of artificial intelligence in an imaginary world. I'm actually very apprehensive of AI in our real world though.
RJP does an excellent job of continuing the story and weaves together a short but seamless timeline of events that carries you through the evolution of post-apocalyptic humans and the development and growth of AI. The interactions are brought to life by Zachary Johnson who does a very good job of relating the story in his voice. To me, it's full of life and not monotonous or boring.
I love the dialogue between the humans and the AI and have enjoyed watching the two AI systems grow in their respective ways. One good, one bad. It brings to mind the debate of nature vs. nurture in that the AI seems to be the child absorbing it's surroundings and learning it's behavior from those around them.
Good listen and I would recommend if you like science-fiction or post-apocalyptic stories.
I received a free copy of this audio book for an honest review.

Post apocalypse, plague, AI's, alien invasion
Great psychological sci fi story. The author generates a world and a scenario mostly through dialogue and allows you the reader to backfill the imagery using your imagination. This 2nd installment has much more action than earlier ones I've read. Great story and i look forward to the rest of the series. I received this audiobook from the author narrator or publisher for free via audiobookblast in exchange for an unbiased review

Humans & computers regroup after a pandemic
Earth has been hit by a sudden, fast-moving, extremely lethal virus, of unknown origin. Most of the human race has been killed, without even the time to identify the origins of the virus.
Now most of the human race is dead, and the survivors are working to pull their remnants together and save the species and hopefully civilization.
We follow Joan Herl, commander of the Oasis space station, which supported the research colonies on the Moon and Mars, and her husband, Colonel Tom Herl; the US President, and other political and military leaders representing what's left of the US government; the intelligent computers, SIMPOC, Alpha 1, and others, whose programming leads them to choose to support the humans; and Dr. Julius Howard, who sees an opportunity, using his intelligent computer, to become ruler of the world.
They all have serious challenges ahead of them, and more mysteries and challenges to discover. The death toll has been so high--it's possible that fewer than 100,000 humans are left alive--that they've all lost most of the people they knew and cared about, and they need to build a new society in the wake of that. The characters are likable (except, of course, Julius and his intelligent computer), and interesting. The pace moves, the choices make sense, and despite being set in the aftermath of a pandemic that has nearly wiped out the human race (no, I can't explain why I decided to listen to it just now), it's got a surprisingly upbeat tone.
Recommended.
I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author, and am reviewing it voluntarily.
