Über diesen Titel

Searching for a new home....

The Galahad, a faster-than-light spacecraft, carries 50 scientists and engineers on a mission to prepare Kepler 452b, Earth's nearest habitable neighbor at 1400 light years away. With Earth no longer habitable and the Mars colony slowly failing, they are humanity's best hope.

After 10 years in a failed cryogenic bed - body asleep, mind awake - William Chanokh's torture comes to an end as the fog clears, the hatch opens, and his friend and fellow hacker, Tom, greets him...by stabbing a screwdriver into his heart. This is the first time William dies.

It is not the last.

When he wakes from death, William discovers that all but one crew member - Capria Dixon - is either dead at Tom's hands, or has escaped to the surface of Kepler 452b. This dire situation is made worse when Tom attacks again - and is killed. Driven mad by a rare reaction to extended cryo-sleep, Tom hacked the Galahad's navigation system and locked the ship on a faster-than-light journey through the universe, destination: nowhere. Ever.

Mysteriously immortal, William is taken on a journey with no end, where he encounters solitary desperation, strange and violent lifeforms, a forbidden love, and the nature of reality itself.

...he discovers the infinite.

Jeremy Robinson, the master of fast-paced and highly original stories seamlessly blending elements of horror, science fiction, and thrillers, tackles his most ambitious subject matter to date: reality itself. An amalgam of the works of J.J. Abrams and Ridley Scott, Infinite is a bold science fiction novel exploring the vastness of space and a man's desire to exist, find love, and alter the course of his life.

Die Geschichte ist nicht schlecht aber auch nicht sonderlich gut. Der Autor bedient sich einiger Deus-Ex-Machina Elemente (FTL, Unsterblichkeit, "Teleportation") ohne groß darauf einzugehen, einfach nur weil es einfacher macht die Geschichte zu erzählen.
Leider macht es auch die Geschichte langweiliger, weil für den Hauptcharakter nie etwas wirklich auf dem Spiel steht. Am Ende lässt es sich zusammenfassen mit: ein Programmierer reist alleine durchs Universum und vor Langeweile baut er sich seine eigene Welt in VR, damit er mit seiner großen Liebe Abenteuer erleben kann.

A very nice Main character, who you can relate to! A interesting spin on a known idea about infinite realities and the meaning of life to experience it...
Maybe a little to much killing and gore at the beginning.... but fast to overcome

The Sci-Fi story

The story offers an entertaining mix of elements. Some of these are a bit on the pulpy side, some would have more potential in a separate narrative but all of them make sense in the context of the main storyline.

The only major criticism I have is, that one aspect critically important for the story - the protagonists immortality paired with his lacking necessity for any kind of nutrition - violates the laws of physics (not to speak of biology) more blatantly than even a science fiction novel can afford. All of this is explained away with a handwaving reference to „gene manipulation“ - which is particularly lazy writing.

If you can get past that, however, you are in for a wild ride.

I wasn't sure at first but within 15 mini was hooked, nice premise, novel even, I'll be getting the next book straight away. RC Bray as always does a wonderful job in the narration, bringing this story to life, and Jeremy I don't know if you read these comments from the people that read your work, all I can say is thank you, I've read and listened to a lot of books and this one is now right up there with my favorites, please don't stop, I'll be looking out for more of your work 👏
