THE CHAOS PRINCIPLE
Under a Backwards Moon, Book 1

by Nathan Johnson

Narrated by: Nathan Johnson

Production by: Nathan Johnson

A Mystery of Chaos, Life Questions!

Ansel Black is a detective in a world where AI is heavily involved and depended upon. Tasked with solving five peculiar murders, Ansel’s discoveries lead him to things well beyond ANI’s (the name of the AI) virtual existence. Ansel realizes that things just got weirder!

The author, Nathan Jones creates a world where AI is prevalent, and crime is all but gone. Jones does not craft your usual detective mystery but rather puts a philosophical twist to it. The character development of Ansel Black was well done as one could not help but fall into the same mindset and begin questioning and contemplating the same issues in the book as one does in the real world. The storyline was complex and at times difficult to follow. I think mainly because it is not a typical murder mystery.

As the narrator, Nathan Jones does a good job performing the book and communicating the tone of this book accurately and with comfort. He spoke clearly and sounded professional. As both the narrator and author, he did a great job.

This is a different book than one would expect. It is difficult to follow as I feel the author’s purpose was more to make us question life and existence and used the mystery to help us contemplate more deeply.

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.
