Publisher's Summary

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.

Ehhhh

I have not finished it, but I am struggling to find a reason to care. The soothing voice trying to deliver a dangerous set of events is just awkward. The back and forth jumping to people who sit and think about things for a decade. I mean it is a cool idea, but it's missing a lot so far. They open a crazy sci-fi technology and the operation sent everyone home and didn't have anyone near the power source to shut it down!
An ex spec ops / social influencer who's frozen by thought while hanging for what seems to be days.
The human predator thing thinks about hunting without actually hunting. Everyone everywhere Abby this Abby that while sitting there.
Again I have not got far, but it's more like watching Amish Mafia the first few episodes than being hooked so far.
If it doesn't get better I may have to jump through a portal to end Abby myself considering the huntress is still in thought trying to remember if she turned the fire pit off.

conclusion???

where is the conclusion?!!! please tell me that audible will soon have the final installment......uuuuuhhhhggggg. I really need to know how this ends, please.

Another score

Part two of this three part story did not disappoint. Another glimpse into the endless fountain of creation, this part finds the survivors encountering shocks at every corner. As always there are those we root for and those we hope meet a gruesome end. Anxiously awaiting the conclusion.

Why?

This book has obvious themes lifted from Dennis e Taylor and Blake crouch. But when the characters started to feel lifted as well, a just had to stop.

get it!

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

Solid Sci-Fi Fantasy Listen

Of course they now set me up to wait for part 3, but that is how it works! Some solid plot and character development and a great ending.

Superb story and outstanding narrator

Sometimes you start a sequel to a book you love with trepidation...knowing it will probably disappoint. NOT HERE...the sequel builds to a wild climax and a reveal that's soooo satisfying and makes you just want more and more of these alternative worlds.
The writing is deeply engaging with vivid imagery and artfully crafted characters ...what makes this listen exceptional though is the narrator, Shayna Small---what a talent! Her acting brings every character to life with unique vocal personalities. She's certainly among the best I've ever heard and even gives the wonderful Ray Porter a run for his money. Looking forward to MORE Bewilderness sequels read by Shayna Small. Thanks Maberry for giving your readers an escape from THIS crazy world!

Caint wait for the next installment in this series

I have to give this a high rating since I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Hooked

Can't wait for the next book. The suspense is killing me. Will there be a third book?

Things go from bad to worse

Now that the threshold has been opened, infinite worlds have been exposed to the technology involved. A hunter comes through, searching for the creator of this technology, in order to put her to an end for the destruction she has wrought.

Things continue to worsen for the survivors as more and more changes are brought into this world, and survival seems bleak.

Very much looking forward to the final novella!

Good fun good listen

enjoyed did not realise such short books but did enjoy. Nice little listen for any one.
