Resumen del Editor

A wildly exciting journey through a world remade, The Divide combines real characters with horrifically realized creations, pitting the worst of human nature against the strength of family. Equal parts action, horror, and moving drama that only Jeremy Robinson can pull off.

When the divide is crossed...

No one remembers how the Divide was created. The miles-deep and miles-wide chasm has existed for hundreds of years, protecting what remains of humanity from the Golyat: a creature whose shadow moves across the horizon at sunset.

Davina, daughter of Jesse, is a shepherd. She spends her days guiding herds of deer through the forests of New Inglan, protecting them from predators, herding them away from the Divide, and ensuring the tribe of Essex has meat when needed. While many shepherds die in their first year - from the elements, from injury, or in the jaws of a wolf - Davina is resilient.

Having just slain a mountain lion, Davina returns to her village to discover a hunting party has been sent out in search of the Modernists, a group fascinated with the past, the technology that once filled the world, and what lies beyond the Divide. To keep the Modernists from reaching the Divide's far side and revealing humanity's presence to the Golyat, the hunters will torture and kill them all. Including Davina's teenage son.

Davina strikes out, intending to ensure her son's death will be quick and without torture. Reaching the island of Boston first, Davina confronts the Modernists and finds herself incapable of taking her son's life. Captured by the enemies of Essex, she is transported across the Divide along with her son and the Modernists.

For the first time in 500 years, humanity steps foot on the Divide's far side. Stranded with the enemy, Davina must fight to keep them all alive, herding people instead of deer, while uncovering the truth about humanity's past and her connection to events that reshaped the world.

always great... but cringey cupcakes

I love mr Robinson. love the Boston centric reference. love the style and the imagination. love the tie ins from other books. but as usual the comic relief character is so cringe worthy. I actually wanted her to die. shitty cupcakes.

overall great. as usual.

suspenseful sci-fi

Like all of Jeremy Robinson's books, this is a dystopian future sci-fi lover must read.

I tried. I really did.

Definitely not my cup of tea. The narrator’s voice was soooo annoying and grating. Just couldn’t take it anymore. Only had 4 hours left usually I love JR books buy this was just too much. I keep waiting for her to say “ Toyota let’s go places “

Robinson's worlds collide

A dystopian adventure with intrigue, mystery, and monsters. How can you go wrong? Add thinly veiled references to numerous other books in the Robinson catalog and you have a novel that's nothing short of a crowd pleaser. A thrilling read that' nearly impossible to put down.

Tedious

The story became repetitive very quickly. Also the introduction of the last main character made absolutely no sense. Much of the combat does nothing to further the story.

Great story, slow start.

This is a very good story, but I almost missed it because of the very slow start. If you can tolerate a handful of slow chapters, the story will pick up and get good. I'm glad I stuck it out.

Loved it!

Excellent post-apocalyptic story. Humanity is scattered and hidden away from the Golyat. They fear this creature they call Golyat even though they haven't seen it and don't exactly know what it is. It is actually a they that humanity accidentally created. Great story and narration!

Good until the end

Fizzles out at the end with solutions to problems that sound more like magic than science. A good story for most of the book and well narrated however.

Good storytelling

We enjoyed the narrator's voice, though some characters were inconsistent. The word viscous was consistently mispronounced. Those details aside, this is well written tale and was powerfully delivered.

Good Story but took a little to get into it

Big Jeremy Robinson Fan but this one took a bit for me to get into. The opening is slow and took several chapters to really hook me in. but then hits it stride. it really gets going in Boston and the story maintains interest develops a world after a apocalyptic event.

First time listening to a book narrated byChrista Lewis and I very much enjoyed her performance it was easy to tell characters apart and she was able to convey good emotion through the inflection in her voice.

in the end I would Listen to another Divide book (or maybe Golyate saga?) if he chose to continue in this world.
