Immortality

By: Kevin Bohacz

Narrated by: Kevin T. Collins

Without warning, something has gone terribly awry. In the remote and unnoticed places of the world, small pockets of death begin occurring. As the initially isolated extinctions spread, the world's eyes focus on this unimaginable horror and chaos. Out of the ecological imbalance, something new and extraordinary is evolving and surviving to fill the voids left by these extinctions. Evolution is operating in ways no one could have expected, and environmental damage may be the catalyst. Once discovered, this knowledge changes everything...©2003, 2007, 2011 Kevin Bohacz (P)2014 Audible Inc.

Critic reviews

"Bohacz's vision of a humanity that faces the need to evolve profoundly or face certain destruction is as timely as today's news and as chilling a doomsday scenario as any ecological catastrophe can suggest." ( Publisher's Weekly Starred Review)

"There is enough power in the premise to leave readers reeling. A novel that will surprise fans of science-fiction and doomsday scenarios." ( Kirkus Reviews)

"Immortality is a fine, tense, scientific mystery adventure that puts mankind in a challenge of survival with a short time limit. This is the way the world could end." (Piers Anthony, author of 21 New York Times best-selling novels)

Fun speculative science fiction weak on characters

I thought the science fiction aspect of the story was rather well done. It was technical at times but in ways that I personally enjoyed.

The characterization was, for me, the weak point. I found the characters to be extremely predictable, over dramatized and the telling of their stories to be wildly uneven.

The best yet of it's genre!

What made the experience of listening to Immortality the most enjoyable?

This book is very realistic, it starts out a bit slow, which ends up being a good thing as it sets up the realism for the rest of the story. Make sure you have plenty of time, because once you get into this book there will be no sleep until it's over!

What did you like best about this story?

The characters grow on you, you feel their pain.

Have you listened to any of Kevin T. Collins’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Many!

Unbelievable

I appreciate the effort, but it smacked of a sophomoric effort. The story was slow to warm up, and when it did, I was't sure if it was geared for Science/Thriller fans, or PA fans, but suspect that neither will be truly happy.

Too Long!!

The story might have been good if it weren't as technical, scattered, and long winded!

Unbelievably Well Done!!!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Immortality?

The narrator did such a fabulous job, in both this book, and Ghost of the Gods, of bringing each character to life through different voices. The emotional range he put behind the voice of each character made it almost impossible to stop listening when I had to go to work, to sleep or meet other life requirements,

Which scene was your favorite?

The emotional depth of the primary characters was enrapturing. It made the story and the feelings they were going through so real, you almost would think it was a real story and not fiction.

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

There was a great deal of detail in both books of this series that another listen will probably bring additional levels of understanding and depth to my emotional experiences with both books in this series. I was very emotionally invested and wrapped up in the events of the story, not only because it was well written, but also because the narrator's emotional attachment to each character was absolutely captivating.
