Resumen del Editor

It's impossible but it's on-screen. He's captured - on camera - the scene of his own death.

One weekday to the next, Trevor quietly fulfills his roles as loving husband and father-to-be, trusted best friend, and dependable employee. He's chosen normality, routine, simplicity, even predictability: everything he never had as a child. And he prefers it that way.

And then comes Saturday.

The weekends are Trevor's alone. On the weekends, Trevor is king.

Charging into the beckoning canyonlands of southern Utah, Trevor seeks out true challenge without hesitation, dares the ever-changing terrain to test his finest skill, and defies death itself as he pushes his mind and body to the max.

He is the Weekend Warrior. Master of his machine. Trevor is a freeride mountain biker, and when he rides, the Earth is at his command.

Of course, he has to capture it all on camera. Trevor never rides without his helmet-mounted GoPro, recording the real-time video of his every triumph and technical maneuver.

But this Saturday, the camera captures so much more. When Trevor presses the play button, eager to relive the thrilling moments of his impressive, recent ride, the scene that plays out before him on the television screen ends in an unexpected way. The footage is more than captivating; it's horrifying.

They say that, in this age of advanced technology, if it wasn't filmed, it never happened. But what if it hasn't happened-yet-and it's already on film?

He has only two options: succumb to his fate the footage foretells or fight-to the death if need be - for his very own life.

Suspense

The End, by Justine Avery, is a novella that starts out with great promise, but ultimately disappoints due to an ending that is muddled, confusing, and unintentionally (I think) ambiguous. This story had me stuck from the beginning to the end, and somewhat at the end this story had me a little confused as well. It had a lot of suspense I must say. I like this book and highly recommend reading this book, especially if you like stories that drawn you in. Justine Avery did a wonderful job on showing in this book and not telling. Great Job!!

Well-Written Captivating Book!

If you love short fiction, I would highly recommend this book. It's definitely a page-turning and the author does a great job of building suspense throughout the book. The book is easy to read and the characters are well-developed. It is very easy to identify with the main character and you feel like you are brought on a journey with him.

What a Bike Ride

I was glue to my seat listening to this short audiobook from beginning to the end as it is quite a story to listen to. The performance was spot on for another ace of a book by Justine Avery. I am beginning to enjoy all Justine's books as I am listening to more and more with this one just another great one.

Quite a twist

This was a great, relatively quick, easy listen, with a great storyline to boot. Justine has a way with words that some might find a bit... wordy... but for me it adds to the experience. The story kept you interested and definitely ended in a way you wouldn’t expect. Worth it.
