Publisher's Summary

Having survived Atlantis, the town of Indian Hill beckons. As Mike and Trip make their way toward Indian Hill and are in search of some much needed answers, Jack is fast on their heels. It is a dangerous journey fraught with all manner of creatures. Zombies, Night Runners and the Alien Whistlers do their best to prevent the trio from ever going home again. The Whistlers are constantly roaming the wilds in search of food, the zombies gather in large groups, and the night runners own the night.

Will they survive the nightmarish beasts only to be shredded by time itself? Trip may have some knowledge that could help, but extracting it from him is proving exceedingly difficult. Mike's memories are being tattered, and Jack's soul is tortured as he makes one final desperate bid to get back to his family. Time is truly running out. Will the group manage to get back to their original worlds before this one folds into nothingness?

A great pairing of authors

Jack, Tripp and Mike are still trying to get back home.  They traverse through some deadly night runners, whistlers and smart zombies; they find themselves caught up in several dimensional rifts and Tripp’s rare moments of lucidity.    Non-stop action keeps the listener sitting on the edge of their seat, biting their nails as Tripp and Mike try to connect with Jack at Indian Hill.  Lots of “moments” of clarity for Tripp and not everything is as it appears.  Although the storyline had the potential of becoming confusing and losing the listener, both Tufo and O’Brien kept it clear and moving forward.

The ending as well as throughout the book, things were being explained … like Tripp’s mind or lack of, the dimensional rifts, as well as some truly horrific descriptions of people and objects – you must hear it to understand!  Absolutely horrifying!  And I don’t think I could ever eat another Frito!

A great pairing of authors combining their best characters into a tale that truly has it's most frightening moments as well as moments of complete and total hilarity.

Sean Runnette, as always, performs the book perfectly!  He has a tone in his voice – almost like he is Michael Talbot – that is spot on.  His voices for Jack and Tripp are just as spot on as well!  I enjoy hearing Runnette read.

pretty good

I did like the character combinations, Trip is great as always, they really developed his character in this book series. it ended a little abruptly, could not tell how jack really faired in the end, I assume good.

Better than the Zombie Fallout books

I really enjoyed this short tangent, We finally find out why trip is so weird and how he kind of understands things that he probably shouldn’t. We also find out why he takes so many drugs LOL

Must read!

Mark’s books are so engaging and will keep you on the edge of your seat! This book is awesome and almost had me stop in the middle of the road with a “OMG” moment.

And then what?

OMG, I hate books that just end in the middle of a sentence. It's like Mark and John looked at the clock and said, "Oh well, we'll just end it here and pick up next time."

WHAAAAATTTT???!!!

This book is about Jack, Tripp and Mike. Tripp was of course funny and frustrating!!! I have to say that I liked the twist at the end but where the hell did Jack land? As usual Sean was awesome as the narrator. Mark you are awesome but dammit I need to know what happens next!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

2 excellent authors 1 great collaboration

The end of a great trilogy, sorry to see it go. I love the 2 authors individual works and series. Putting them together for this collaboration of "A Shrouded World" trilogy could only result in another must listen. Tufo and O'Brien wrote a great story but as any audiobook listener knows, it can be ruined by the narrator. Sean Runnette , as usual, doesn't disappoint. He and Ray Porter probably are my two favorite narrators. Putting 2 excellent authors with 1 great narrator = a superb ending to a wonderful trilogy.

good book

I've read the zombie Fallout series and I've read the first three books in the New World Series put those two authors together it was a fun ride these last three books Mike Talbot is my favorite character in a series him and trip together makes me laugh my ass off every time

good ending to to a great series

books one and two where much more enjoyable stories. Jack's early parts of this book felt drawn out. Mike and trip are comedy good.

regardless of all of this, ending was good. loved idea of two of favorite authors working together.

enjoy the series,I know I did !

Ok. Writing style needs work

The concept of the story was interesting but the First person writing style not great - unpolished maybe best way to describe. Also some of the plot- line unnecessarily repetitive and actually didn't really build up the tension. not terrible by any means just such high standard in this genre of zombie scifi horror audiobooks

saved the best till last

What made the experience of listening to Convergence the most enjoyable?

not bin a big fan of the first 2 books still enjoyed them but they were missing a "WHY !!" this book answers the why! and i even got to liking jack's charatcter,will be looking up john O'brien books soon,

What did you like best about this story?

trip is the most jaw dropping, loved,miss understood, confused, insightful character you will ever come across
if mark tufo could make a book on him i'm sure it would have to be a re re re read

Which character – as performed by Sean Runnette – was your favourite?

see above

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

freedo's

Just amazing

This is such a great blend between two writer. Character from two story’s working together. Love the whole thing.

Book 3 ends But

Awesome story can’t wait till book 4. Mark and John get collaborating, I need to know what trip is sorry for

Oooooooooooooohhhh

Very exciting third installment. We get to see much more of John (the sober version of Trip) and he's fascinating. It opens up so many questions and possible answers to things in this world and the many others in the Tufo universe. Can't say anymore about the story without giving something away. Listen to it. It's great! And Sean Runnette is a awesome as ever.

Awesome finish to an awesome series

Both Mark and John have outdone themselves again and with the wizard narrator that is Sean this has capped off a brilliant trilogy, I hope they do more work together in the future with Mike and Jack or even with new characters.
