The Gateway Project is going to save the world.

Maybe.

Dr. Abby Corman has a bold idea: open a stable doorway between our world and an uninhabited parallel Earth. A new world we can use to mine resources to end poverty, grow enough food to end all hunger, and allow for population growth to end overcrowding. What could be a more noble aspiration for a brilliant young scientist?

But the path to hell is paved with good intentions....

The Gateway is in a secure lab in a huge office building in New York. Ultra-modern, impenetrable by industrial spies or foreign agents, totally secure. Once it goes into lockdown for the Gateway test firing, it becomes the world’s largest and most unbreakable vault. Locked doors, though, can do more than keep bad things out. They can keep bad things in.

Bewilderness: Threshold is the first part of a sprawling science fiction epic packed with weird science, corporate greed, betrayal, and horror. An Audible Original by New York Times best seller Jonathan Maberry, author of Patient Zero and V-Wars.

Not bad. Its hard to tell if this good because part one ends right as stuff gets interesting. I think certain details are enough to capture you if you're a fan of the Joe Ledger books. The narrator isn't bad but I wish she didn't whisper/hiss half her voices. She's no rick porter but then again very few are.

Interesting enough. Blatant embedded Amazon product placement mentions extremely off-putting - is the the price of making Part 1 a free offering?

Otherwise cartoon characterisation, but rolls along in an engaging manner as a road trip time filler.

Engaging, but heavy handed stereotypes

This was a fun story to listen to. I’m excited to see what he rolls out next.

Ready for the next one.

The voice work was praised by others but I don’t get it. Really terrible narration and I couldn’t keep listening.

Stopped listening, narrator was terrible

Wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. Strikes a good balance between nuance and action, which can be tough for a short story. Captivating and satisfying.

Pleasantly surprised
