Publisher's summary

Stare at the dark too long, and you will eventually see what isn’t there.

In the wake of the catastrophic event known as the breaking sky, the survivors find themselves facing horrors much greater than the blind, mindless monsters roaming the cities.

Mark and John are trapped at the government facility, now in complete darkness. Only one of them seems to have the will to go on, but it will take a lot to make it out of there, through endless hallways and stairwells, in pitch blackness, with dozens of blind people lurking everywhere.

Tommy learns from his dead father things about his past he'd rather not have known. Sometimes, memories forgotten are best left that way, and he soon finds himself in an all-out fight for his life, where he can either kill or be killed.

Gina continues to spiral, coming closer to a complete breakdown. Having no choice left, she leaves the safe house and her boys, as her unstable condition proves a threat to them all. Now, alone in a broken world, her own, personal demon is watching her every step, edging still closer....

Faced with ghosts bringing up crippling fear, some of our heroes resort to panic, while others make a stand. Still others can't seem to discern the dangers and descend only deeper into the grip of their inner tormentors. Who will make it and who will not?

After all, there's no cure. No prevention. Not even an explanation.

Only blind pain.

An episode that must be experienced!

While listening to Blind Fear sent me on an emotional roller-coaster ride, listening to Blind Pain, the fourth book in the Under the Breaking Sky made that rollercoaster feel like I hadn’t experienced anything yet. Following this cast of characters through all their trials and tribulations is a story unlike any other apocalyptic tale I’ve read or listened to. Once again Nick took me from the edge of my seat to being angry, bummed out and in some instances wanting to cheer. It is good to see some of these characters get what they deserve, and in some cases, you must wonder why it had to happen. Yep, once again vague statements, but any detail would spoil an excellent tale. So, if you want the details, it is up to you to read/listen to Blind Pain and find out what it is I’m talking about. Speaking of listening to Blind Pain, Spencer Dillehay does his usual excellent job of narration.

Can't stop now....

Great story, fantastic narrator. You have to keep going til book 8! Might as well get them all at once!

More Troubles Abounded

This fourth book was as good as the others in the "Under The Breaking Sky" series. I have gotten so wrapped up in the characters that I find it difficult to pull myself away to do things that I should, such as going to work. The characters were all facing even greater odds than in the first books, and still more surprises kept coming. I can't wait to get started on the next book in the series. Spencer Dillehay's narration was great, and his performance continued to enhance my enjoyment of the tale. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.
