Publisher's Summary:

The crew of Moonbase Columbus makes an amazing discovery on the far side of the Moon - a massive alien structure is erecting itself, built up atom by atom by living machines, microscopically small, intelligent, and unstoppable, consuming everything they touch. The mysterious structure begins to expand and take shape, and its creators begin to multiply.

Is this the first strike in an alien invasion from the stars? Or has human nanotechnology experimentation gone awry, triggering an unexpected infestation? As riots rage across a panicked Earth, scientists scramble to learn the truth before humanitys home is engulfed by the voracious machines.

Members Reviews:

Alien nanotech unbound

After the moon has been colonized, humanity gets down to the business of exploitation (an astronomical array on the far side) as well as utilizing Antarctica for both a dry run for a manned Mars mission and an isolated facility serving as a nanotech lab (due to fear of potential catastrophe). Upsetting all these carefully laid plans is the discovery of an alien nanotech structure growing on the moon. What ensues is a rather inept series of attempts to discern the function and intent of the evolving alien structure.

Sadly, the characters are largely unremarkable and forgettable. Their personal features are mostly annoying and uninteresting. In the case of the future seeing dreamer. a rabid dog that must be put down comes to mind. While there are various scenes of actions taking place concurrently, much is simply irrelevant to the overall plot. For example, after supplying one of the main characters, Antarctica contributes little to the rest of players other than supplying some background and infodumps to the listener. The nuclear weapon retrieval process was cumbersome and unnecessary.

Conceptually, the idea of alien nanotech is fascinating and compelling and should have resulted in a better tale. The narration is well done, but there is little for the narrator to work with.

Interesting premise

Interesting story, likable characters and good narration. The science seemed quite plausible. Will be reading the next installment.

An interesting concept.

I like science fiction for the different views & perspective. A good author is creative and surprising.

Entertaining and Thoughtful, Classic SciFi!

What made the experience of listening to Assemblers of Infinity the most enjoyable?

I reserve triple-fives for the rare experience. First, the book's theme is well explored and well explained. Though the main scientist is a bit slow sometimes, like why her cleaning of the larger threat on the Moon won't work. I knew the "clean up" was going to have to fail right away, or this book would have gotten a three. I also found some of the Moon base's characters a bit petty at times in their reactions.
