Immobility

De: Brian Evenson

Narrado por: Mauro Hantman

You open your eyes for what you know is not the first time and you remember nothing. You find out that a catastrophic event known as the Kollaps has destroyed life as we know it. Someone claiming to be your friend tells you that you’re needed. Something crucial has been stolen - but under no circumstances can you know what or why. You’ve got to get it back or something bad is going to happen. And you’ve got to get it back fast, so they can freeze you again before your own time runs out. Paralyzed from the waist down, you’re being carried around on the backs of two men who don’t seem anything like you at all. Who inject you regularly and tell you it’s for your own good…to stop the disease, or else they must cut directly into your spine. Welcome to the life of Josef Horkai….

Critically acclaimed and O. Henry prize-winning author Brian Evenson turns his literary eye to a post-apocalyptic earth in this dazzling science fiction novel.

Good story lol

Although the main character is a dumb ass....... lol (you’ll understand later) it was a good book

wow.. twisted!

really good narration and a dark, disturbing vision of an apocalyptic future. definitely will check out this author's other work because of this book!

Potential Wasted

I am glad I got it from the plus catalog. I don't want to give anything away but this was one of those with an ending that makes you wish you never started it. The general story before the final act was decent but didn't do anything really great. Nothing was really brought to a resolution and some of the moral considerations were never examined. This book didn't really know what it wanted to be and yet, in a psychological mystery type of way was fine until the end.

Please put more Brian Evenson titles in audio format!

After enjoying many of Brian Evenson’s short stories in various anthologies over the year, this was my first full-length Brian Evenson title & I can’t wait to read/listen to more!

A paralyzing journey to survive

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

A fascinating post apocalyptic journey for human survival. Josef Horkai is brought back to consciousness and finds he is unable to walk. Stuck in a foreign environment with strangers with an odd culture doesn't recognize he is immediately sent on a mission to recover an artifact from the wasteland. Twists and turns kept coming as the plot unraveled at a fast pace. Crisp dialogue, short sharp descriptions of a world long dead keeps the plot moving. Readers looking for something different and scary will love this gripping sci-fi thriller. I thoroughly enjoyed Immobility and I look forward to more novels by this author.
