Temporal Contingency (Big Sigma, #4) By Joseph R. Lallo Kindle Edition Science Fiction Fantasy Temporal Contingency (Big Sigma, #4) Temporal Contingency is the fourth book in the Big Sigma Series. Trevor “Lex” Alexander’s life has been less than blessed. In the past year he’s had to battle corrupt corporations, deranged techno terrorists, and a robotic scourge. Now he’s received the opportunity to finally return to the racing career that had been cut short by some poor decisions. One could excuse him for not wanting to be embroiled in another insane adventure when he is so close to returning to his life’s calling. Sometimes the call of duty will not be denied. Karter Dee, a certified lunatic responsible for many of Lex’s recent woes, has discovered a threat on an unprecedented scale. He and Ma, his AI caretaker, know their plan to solve the problem will take a special mixture of competence, improvisation, and disregard for personal safety. Reluctance aside, Lex is the only man for the job. Even with the skilled pilot on the team, the scope of the problem has grown so massive that it may be unsolvable in its current state. Some would consider the situation hopeless, but any good engineer knows if you can’t find a solution, you have to change the problem. To give human society a chance at a future, Lex, Karter, and Ma, will have to venture into the past. I m not usually a fan of temporal sci fi stuff as most of what s out there tends to run up its own arse and leave the reader or viewer with their heads shoved up there s but this book doesn t feel like that Joseph plays some great temporal get out of jail free cards that certainly worked for me. Anyways great stuff and can t wait for Big Sigma 5 and the next chapter in Ma s life which i hope isn t too long in coming Temporal Contingency Big Sigma 4 Joseph R Lallo doesn t just explore cool sci fi and technically awesome concepts in his Big Sigma series He also incisively examines human social and ethical issues I find myself intrigued by his characters and he has caught me totally by surprise several times For one thing I have had to plead guilty to a common tech head flaw technical coolness and raw genius does not a hero make Neither does genius imply wisdom And basic decency and an ethically motivated approach to life should never be undervalued There s plenty to enjoy in Temporal Contingency Lallo has some very interesting thoughts on time travel His examination of the boundaries between human and artificial intelligence are both intelligent and sensitive Not to be forgotten is that Lallo s writing is humorous and very readable. This volume is very important to the storyline so don t miss it Highly recommended Temporal Contingency Big Sigma 4 I couldn t stop reading from beginning to end This book is just as addictive as the others in the Big Signs seriesperhaps even so I m normally not a huge fan of time travel booksbut this one is so well done that i recant my usual positron and say i loved every word of it I m not going to go into the details of the plot You can read the synopsis for that but I will say that you should get this book and the others in the Big Signs series now now now Temporal Contingency Big Sigma 4 BrilliantLoved every book shame no in the series but well received by me Keep up the good work Thanks Temporal Contingency Big Sigma 4 Time travel and VonNeuman machines What could be better Somehow I don t think our hero is finished yet Time causality and all Author keeps you guessing Temporal Contingency Big Sigma 4

In Book 4 our hero grows up a little bit and Ma the computer grows a lot Once again Lex is saving the universe our crazy engineer scientist is even madder in his crazy way and we get to visit the past present and future. The scope of the plot was larger than Lallo s prior books in the series and was well done It didn t have quite the same level of humor or laughs that his prior Big Sigma books gave me but it s still a 5 star book in a great series that will appeal to every space opera science fiction fan and anyone that likes the old fashioned type of sci fi story Aficionados of heros spaceships computers crazy scientists world and universe building will enjoy the Big Sigma series Temporal Contingency Big Sigma 4 .

, And he s really pushing the boat out with Ma on this one She s definitely become my favourite fictional AI[1]

Another great addition to this incredible series
