The Singularity #3
Emissaries
Book Three in The Singularity Series!
The world never looked so grim...
Manny’s insanity brought Caesar to his knees, though even that didn’t satisfy The Genesis. It wants more. It wants all of The Named.
Recruiting new, deadly applications, The Genesis begins remaking the world yet again--creating a planet without controls, without order.
The Named flees for their lives and Caesar’s indomitable will cannot match The Genesis’ treacherous plans. All of his power, all of his strength, seemingly cannot stop The Genesis and its quest for domination.
With Caesar’s revolution collapsing around him, can he figure out what is happening fast enough to save those he loves? Can he fight back against the most destructive force mankind ever created, or is all lost?

About the author
David Beers
73 books215 followersI used to deliver pizza. I was pretty good at it, too. I mean, it's not that hard, but if I'm not going to brag, who is, right? Anyways, so I'm delivering pizza while I'm in college, and my boss has been in the pizza industry like six years. He's supposed to graduate from college this year, and I ask him, what are you going to do after college? We're all supposed to go out and conquer the world right after college, so this guy has to have some kind of plan.
He looked at me like I was delusional.
"I'm a writer, man."
Those four words changed my life more so than anything else ever spoken to me.
I'd always written, since I was twelve participating in online-wrestling forums in which you acted out your character. I wrote because it came naturally. Never once, in the entirety of my nineteen years did I think that writing could be a career though, until a Pizza Sage said those four words to me.
So what did I do? I went home and wrote a short story and immediately understood that I was the greatest writer to ever touch a keyboard. I brought it to the Pizza Sage and he told me what anyone could have told me--it was horrible. I might be dumb, probably am, but I'm also tenacious.
I spent the next seven years writing almost every day. My first novel grew to the length of 40,000 words, then I threw it away. My second novel grew to 140,000 words. I didn't throw it away, but it was rejected about 50 times by agents. My next novel ended up at around 55,000 words, which I showed to a few friends and shelved. Then I wrote Dead Religion, which is the only reason I have an author page at Amazon.
I have had four short stories published, paid and unpaid. 'Effects May Vary' won an award that was voted on by readers, which was pretty cool.
I'm currently getting my Masters in Business at the University of Georgia's Terry School of Business. I'm doing this in order to not deliver pizzas but still keep the lights on. I have a girlfriend who will soon be my fiancé, and after ten years, I imagine she's ready for that title.
I want to own a yacht.

David Beer's has done it again, another AWESOME read!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
This is a Copy of My Amazon Review
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
David's ability to grasp the mind and imagination of the reader grows stronger with each new book he writes, he has fast become one of my favorite authors. Just as Orson Scott Card with the Ender's Game (including the Shadow) series, or Steven King and his Gunslinger series, David has created an alternate world which draws you in. When real life interrupts, you find you've lost all track of time, and on more than one occasion, I have found myself being reminded by my husband to sleep. Once you've started reading Emissaries, it's very hard to put down.
While it's highly recommended that you read each book of this series as a whole and in the order they were written, I believe each book could technically be read separately as a stand-alone. There is just enough detail in each one that you get an idea of what has gone before, but not to the point where it's repetitive and annoying.
The storyline and characters were well developed, the chain of events keeping you reading page after page, the antagonist deranged to the point you want to grab and eliminate them yourself, you realize after reading the last page you've become so emotionally invested in the series and the characters, you can't wait to see what happens next. To me, that is exactly what an author is supposed to do.
Books in this Series are:
The Singularity: Heretic [Book 1]
The Singularity: Traitor [Book 2]
The Singularity: Emissaries [Book 3]
The Singularity: Revolutionary [Book 4]

'Emissaries' is the third installment of David Beers' series, 'The Singularity', and it's by far the darkest, bleakest edition. This isn't a Sunday romp at the beach of a book- this is watching your favorite football team get blown out by sixty points. While suffering from a bad case of the shingles.
The Named is on the run, The Genesis is outmatching Ceasar at every turn, Manny is out to destroy everything Ceasar holds dear, and malevolent new applications have humans at each other's throats for the first time in centuries.
Common to Beer's works are dark, brooding characters that are heavy on the introspection. I thought the introspection got to be too much in The Singularity's second book, Traitor- the only complaint I have about an otherwise completely enjoyable series. In 'Emissaries' he eases it back a bit.
I read around 100 novels a year- I read them for enjoyment, and to study the craft. it is very rare for me to get emotionally involved with a character. But Beers' Manny is so evil, so completely reprehensible is his madness and his jealousy, that I hate him. I mean I really hate the guy. I want Ceasar to kill him slowly and painfully, and I want him awake and aware the whole time. Kudo to Beers for having the ability to wring that out of me.
*SPOILER ALERT*- Emissaries ends on a bleak cliffhanger. Jerry is dead, Manny holds Paige and Leon, and the cities are on fire. It's a well-written, character rich downer. I can't wait for volume four.

Part three of four sees Jerry and Caesar's plans go awry, devastation visit The Named, and a new force in operation on behalf of The Genesis; someone who was formerly part of their group but now transformed. The survivors flee, their group is accused of atrocities of which they have no knowledge, and the death toll is not just rising but set to explode.

Definitely a page turner. This is he third in the series and the circumstances just keep getting bleaker for the 'saviour'. Hard decisions and harder obstacles lie in Caesar's path. A very interesting story.

Singularity Book 3
This book pulls you in even further! The author weaves the story in such aa way that about the time you think you know what will happen next, SURPRISE, think again. I continue to marvel at how the author's mind can generate such stories and how well he writes.
