Bewilderness, Part Two: What Rough Beast

De: Jonathan Maberry

Narrado por: Shayna Small

The Gateway Project was going to save our world by opening up a doorway to infinite versions of our planet. But the threshold has gone completely out of control, sending all those other Earths onto a collision course with ours. Now, our reality is cracking apart.

Abby Corman did not open the Gateway, but she is the only one who knows how to close it. But an alien Hunter and her pack of deadly hellcats have stepped into our world, and they will stop at nothing to kill Abby. Because in a universe of parallel worlds, one Earth’s savior can be the worst criminal other Earths have ever known.

Bewilderness: What Rough Beast continues the gripping tale of science fiction horror as two women - one human, one alien - battle each other to save infinity.

get it!

I need to hear the ending! read part one yesterday and part two today ♥️

Part Two is Great!

Although I knew where this was headed, I still love it. I can't wait for part 3.

Chaotic romp

Clearly, Maberry has done a lot of research, which is interesting but about the only depth here. The bad guys are two-dimensional and the good guys have some character development but still feel like any other disaster story: insecure young scientist and macho ex-military boyfriend. Every scene is a different chapter, and switches to a different point of view. The action itself doesn't make a lot of sense given all the scientific setup. I find myself laughing at the monsters and gore.

But maybe that's the point, after all. In the midst of all the truly awful chaos in the world, why not listen to a story about an underdog hacking monsters apart? It may be therapeutic.

The narrator's voice and cadence sound more sultry than crisp, and may not be optimal for sci-fi, but she does a good job.

captivating! exciting!

This series was such a fun read! I can't wait to hear what happens next! definitely recommend this book and this series! You won't be able to put it down!

Scary but gripping part 2

I might have nightmares tonight. This author is a master of horror.

Looking forward to book three. Well, and kind of dreading it, but that's partly the point of action/sci-fi/horror, so that's good, I guess.

I've never liked horror, but it does make you think about what kind of person you would be in different circumstances. How you would control your responses when the environment seems so out of control. This book makes me finally get the appeal of the horror genre.

The breathy occasional porn-voice narrator is still throwing me off, but she's usually pretty good except the weird villainess voice, I was less distracted by her voice this time.

One complaint: Guzman is pronounced Goozemahn. Not Guhz-man. Not like Guzzle. More like Goo. It's Spanish. I know literally 3 unrelated people with that last name. It's very common.
