By: Jeremy Robinson

Narrated by: R.C. Bray

Length: 9 hrs and 31 mins

Publisher's summary

In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth.

At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned.

Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist. Plucked from the depths of the Amazon rainforest, Finn is thrust into a daring rescue mission alongside a team of specialists. Their destination: an impossible island at the center of Point Nemo—an island that shouldn't exist—composed of xylem.

The island is a living enigma, giving birth to strange and terrifying creatures, each generation more evolved and deadly than the last. As the team delves deeper into the island's alien mysteries, they find themselves in a race against time: the island is moving. If it escapes the dead zone and reaches fertile waters, nothing in humanity's arsenal will be able to stop the invasive species from colonizing and remaking the world.

With their team dwindling and the stakes rising, Finn and Julie must confront their past and face an unthinkable choice. To save humanity, a sacrifice must be made. A life exchanged for the world. The burden of survival and the weight of their family's legacy falls on their shoulders.

Point Nemo by New York Times and #1 Audible bestselling author Jeremy Robinson is a chilling journey into the unknown, a tale of sacrifice and survival that blurs the line between science fiction and horror. It's a testament to the lengths a parent will go to protect their child and a stark reminder of our fragile place in the universe.

Solid execution of a smart concept

Having read dozens of Jeremy Robinson’s books, I thought I knew what to expect. However, Point Nemo managed to surprise me. It definitely has the tone, pacing, and entertainment value one expects from Robinson, but it also stands apart from his other work – if only a little. Perhaps because, as the author reveals in the notes, he wrote it differently and took more time writing it than he typically does. I feel there is a noticeable difference, but I didn’t examine it enough to provide any examples.

The plot is very cool and somewhat unique. Some may find it a smidge derivative of other books that I won’t name. If so, it’s only trace elements and certainly not enough to negatively impact the book. If anything diminishes the quality, it is some of the character digressions and inner dialogue meant to add depth, provide a backstory, and heart, but were ultimately too distracting and stodgy for me. But my heart is a fetid ball of necrosis as black as midnight. So, others probably won’t notice the minor derailments. Those few stuffy interludes are why I gave the story four stars instead of five. Well, that and a surprise toward the end that was super dumb but still didn’t totally ruin it.

Otherwise, Point Nemo has a great and extremely well-executed concept. The book kept me entertained, and it would make a rad movie. I recommend it.

Lastly, RC Bray kills it yet again. He’s the Matt Freeman of narrators: he doesn’t write the shit, but he should get a writing credit for what he adds to it.

Well balanced excitement and imagination

This book had me from the beginning and all I could keep thinking is how great this would look on the big screen!

Interesting concept on a monster
