By: Jeremy Robinson

Narrated by: Phil Gigante

Length: 11 hrs and 20 mins

Publisher's summary

Lincoln Miller, an ex-Navy SEAL turned NCIS special agent, is sent to Aquarius, the world’s only sub-oceanic research facility, located off the Florida Keys, to investigate reports of ocean dumping. A week into his stay, strange red flakes descend from the surface. Scores of fish are dead and dying, poisoned by the debris that turns to powder in Miller’s fingers and tastes like blood.

Miller heads for the surface, ready to fight whoever is polluting on his watch. But he finds nothing. No ships. No polluters.

No oxygen.

Instead, he finds a cloudless sky full of red particles dropping like snow and coating the ocean with a thick film that stretches to the horizon. When a dead blue whale collides with Aquarius, Miller begins a harrowing race to escape the affected area.

Cut off from the rest of the world and surrounded by death, Miller makes his way to Miami, where he discovers just one survivor and the awful truth: The strange phenomenon that robbed the air of its life-giving oxygen was an attack by an enemy reborn from the ashes of World War II. And they’re just getting started.

Miami, Tel Aviv, and Tokyo have all been destroyed. Millions are dead. And if Miller can’t track down and stop those responsible in seven days, the rest of the world is next.

COWBOY!!!

I've been just itching for Cowboy)Milos's story since finishing the Infinite Timeline & Nemesis saga, and this book did not disappoint! I never loved the whole Nazi storyline in the Infinite Timeline, & didn't think I'd enjoy this. However, I could not stop listening. I was fully engrossed and immersed in the story from beginning to end. Such a fabulous story in an already rich bibliography - Jeremy Robinson is the best!

overall great!

the performance was fantastic! the story concept was great! the last hour of the story felt a bit forced but overall great listen!

inaccurate facts

Tesla don't make noise when you turn them on because the engines don't go until you step on the accelerator John Wayne was NOT short and the reason the doors looked small was because he was so big lol a lot of little stuff like this in the book detracts from it

I enjoyed everything about this one

This is such a great story I was truly into every part of this book. I’m a huge Robinson fan but this was my first time listening to this narrator and he is now one of my favorites.

Very engaging. I am looking for the next one.

This is great story. It is very difficult to put down. There are a few annoying technical errors, but that does not overshadow the excellence of the story.

Improbable fast-paced adventure.

Second World is a sci-fi thriller that may stretch your imagination a bit while rousing your interest. It is a fast-paced adventure with great characters and excellent narration. Our protagonist Lincoln Miller is a former Seal now a NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) Investigator (just like the TV series). While Miller is in Florida on a mission to investigate ocean dumping he comes face to face with red flakes falling from the sky which crumble to powder and taste like blood. Turns out the red snow are rust flakes and cause iron poisoning in the people it infects. Three cities have been decimated; Miami, Tel Aviv, and Tokyo are ghost towns. Miller is personally recruited by the President to find out what is going on and who is behind it. Miller teams up with other survivors, Elizabeth Adler an Interpol investigator, and Broder an FBI agent. This trio will unravel the mystery of SecondWorld. Three.point.five for the effort.

Wowwwwwwww

Listen to this story and think “wouldn’t it be crazy if something like this happened”.

This is the wildest “Omg if this really happened” story.

My warning is, listening to this and you’ll be sucked into a whole universe!

gotta love the gunslinger!

another great book from Jeremy robinson! the cowboy is amazing and the action never stops!

Awesome book

I loved this book it was as good a book as the distance by the same author. I like books with new and interesting plots not the same old boring cookie cutter books and this one is perfect. The characters had me laughing out loud and really getting into this story.

Great deal for $9.97.

If you could sum up SecondWorld in three words, what would they be?

Very creative story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

That would probably be the Czechoslovakian, "Cowboy". He was a very interesting character and he brought some humor to the story. He has balls too! That's always good. By the way, "Czechoslovakian" is a bitch to spell.

What about Phil Gigante’s performance did you like?

Again, that would be the accents. I listened to a few other books that "PG" has narrated and I always like his performance. I'm usually happy as long as the narrator puts feeling into the characters and doesn't make any of them sound lame. Maybe I need to get out more but I think "PG" is one of the better narrators on Audible.com

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, I didn't freak out or anything and I didn't really laugh either. I might have chuckled once or twice but that's about it. I didn't cry either. I don't think any book will make cry. I'm just too macho.

Any additional comments?

Yes, but I shouldn't.
