Infinite 2

By: Jeremy Robinson

Narrated by: R.C. Bray

Length: 10 hrs and 34 mins

Publisher's Summary

Infinite2 is a bold continuation of Robinson’s best-selling science fiction novel, packed with mystery, action, and mind-bending twists. 

Over a million books sold!

William Chanokh is immortal...and he’s trapped on the Galahad, an interstellar starship on a never-ending journey through open space. 

His only companions are Capria - mortal and in cryo-sleep - and Gal, an artificial intelligence, and the love of his life, with whom he spends every waking moment in the "Great Escape", a virtual paradise. After untold years living countless lives, Gal begins acting strange. Possessive. Violent. Paranoid. 

Positive that something in the real world is causing her to malfunction, Will attempts to leave the Great Escape, but he finds himself a prisoner. Guided by a voice from reality, he is thrust into a series of torturous narratives, each one designed to break his will and keep him trapped in virtual reality. 

Betrayed by his digital love, his long-term memory overwritten, and enduring violent manipulation, Will painfully peels back layers of simulation, fighting to reach reality 1.0 - where the nightmares are real.

Maybe. 

New York Times and number-one Audible best-selling author Jeremy Robinson takes listeners on a heart-wrenching journey to the edge of the universe and beyond, where distinguishing reality from simulation might be impossible.

Mind Bending Reality Roller Coaster

I was a huge fan of the first Infinite and have been really looking forward to the sequel.

The story continues on from the end of book 1 but also from the end of NPC and Exo Hunter. In fact Infinite 2 is an endless tribute to the many incredible worlds that Jeremy Robinson has created. So many of his characters are referenced, its a roller coaster of shock and awe.

The use of Torment (another Robinson/Bray collaboration) in the narrative kind of freaked me out. That book is unreal and still gives me nightmares (“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry” *shudders*)

What is REAL, what is a simulation. You will question everything.

RC Bray is incredible and his outtakes at the end are hysterical

Absolutely brilliant!

I can still remember the first time I listened to Infinite. The book blew my mind. It had so many twists and turns, and even weeks after finishing it I would find myself thinking back on that adventure. I will say I never honestly expected there to be a sequel. I am so glad to be wrong. Infinite2 is absolutely brilliant and practically a love letter to sci-fi fans in general and Robinson fans in particular. While there is no doubt that the book can be enjoyed merely for what it is, an excellent adventure, if you happen to be a fan of much of Jeremy's other work, it becomes even better. No spoilers, but I must say Jeremy's references to some of his other works adds an absolutely delightful extra layer of awesomeness to the story, and the Easter egg references to other sci-fi works ranging from Predator to Aliens to Starship Troopers just to name a few, thrilled my inner geek and had me smiling the entire time. Infinite2 is a wildly imaginative, smart, thrilling, mind bending adventure and I couldn't stop listening. Yep, once I started listening, I didn't stop until the ride was over. The book is narrated by the incredibly talented RC Bray who does a fantastic job of breathing life into Jeremy's words, and I absolutely loved that he included some of his bloopers at the end.

Perfect combination

This is the perfect combination of author and narrator. Jeremy Robinson writes top notch novels. Bray...he's the best narrator I've experienced. Most narrators make me cringe and even ruin going back to reading the book because I'll still hear that voice. Not this guy! Fantastic!

It was okay

I don’t remember a lot about the first book. I listened to it not long after it released and enjoyed it. Overall I’m a fan of books about uncovering the simulation characters live in and both books in the series are no exception. I just wasn’t as riveted by the second book.
SPOILR ALERT! I think that’s because all punches were pulled, basically. The author kept using the same tension-devices with the same major characters over and over again too. It got really old. I look forward to more books from the author but they need to change their game up.

Really enjoyed it. It hit the spot.

Infinite 2 was great. Wasn't really sure what to expect after the first one. The nods and carry overs are great too. I felt like I liked this one more than the first if you can believe it. Also, I appreciate the author's note. Sometimes it's nice to hear vulnerability from the lord's of universes and get to know them better. I had no idea some of what he's been through. Keep fighting the fight, Mr. Robinson. Lastly, RC Bray was great as usual. Enjoyed the outtakes too. Usually, we only get those with Expeditionary Force.

This was written for JR fans

SO MUCH FUN!! If you've read a handful of JR novels your really going to love this story. He pulls a very Stephen King/Dark Tower esque maneuver that is completely excellent considering the setting of INFINITE. The original being my favorite JR novel, I had high hopes for this one. Expectations surpassed.

As good as the first...but different

I assume you read the first book. While this picks up where that left off, it is (as explained by the author at the end) intentionally different. But it is just a unique and mind-bending as the first. There are a lot of great new science fiction authors now--but how many will be the great ones of this generation? This is one. Also the narration is absolutely fantastic.

Read This Book!

The first infinite was a great book, but I think this sequel is even better. After reading the first you’ll never guess where this story heads.

And R.C. Bray does a masterful job as always. Be sure to listen to the very last second for some giggles.

Less Ambitious Than its Predecessor

I have been waiting for this book for quite a while, and though Robinson’s characters are fun and the style and story are entertaining enough (with great narration from Bray), I can’t help but feel somewhat disappointed by the final result. With such a mind-blowing start to this series, it seemed to me that what would come next would be less...frivolous. Not that I don’t appreciate some of the more imaginative elements of this sequel (apologetic zombies, for instance), but I had hoped that the story would take a more serious direction than it did. Whereas the original tale had quite a bit of heart, this one feels more like a rambling lark. The seemingly endless plot twists and power-shuffles tend to confound the narrative, lowering the stakes until there’s really nothing left to take very seriously. Is this reality? Is it a sim? Who knows? All of it might be turned on its head in the next paragraph. The take-backs become tiresome, but perhaps that was the point? To achieve a confusing world that upends the reader’s own grasp on reality? I could have a used a paired down narrative with fewer epic battles and more focus on the nature of the reality established in the first book. Aside from all of that, what we’re left with is a fun ride, quite a few laughs, but nothing very mind-blowing—certainly much less ambitious than the first Infinite.

Fun, fast and deliciously inventive

Jeremy Robinson can’t help but make art. Infinite was a fun rug pull out from under my imaginations expectations. Infinite 2 did what sequels rarely do...took a great book and characters and made it even better. If you liked Infinite, you will love Infinite 2.

R.C. Bray even throws in a blooper reel at the end which just left me on a fun high note that rarely is the case after I finish a book since I often feel sad that I’ve finished a wonderful story.

In conclusion, fun book, great characters, cool plot, and a damn good writer. Proud to have it in my library.

A MUST LISTEN

firstly I have to tell you, I was NAMECHECKED in this book.. I didn't know I would be so imagine my shock when I heard my name, which is a distinct name being read out by Mr Bray.

I can't begin to tell you how much I loved this sequel. I know Jeremy didn't plan on writing one, but my gosh I'm glad he did.

I won't ruin the plot or story line for anyone, but it's the sequel we didn't know we needed.

Bray is as always exceptional, the outtakes are hilarious.

MUST Listen

amazing book must read for anyone likes sci-fi

totally enjoyed this book constantly smiles and loved every minute. the constant head twisters are excellent

Excellent in a different way!

Was perplexed for the first few chapters but it came together and moved at a pace.

Cherry Bomb

Excellent, it has to be one off my favourite listens period . the author pulled out an amazing story which lends itself well to the.the 1st book, doesn't disappoint. RC Btay is on top form as always really brings each character to life, you must get this if you enjoyed the 1st book it's a must. Regards Harvey

Good story, great performance

Perhaps a little repetitive, but gets you hooked until the end. Not as humorous as his first book, but that's not a criticism, just a statement.

Good book

I really enjoyed book 2 of infinite. I was a we bit lost in the beginning with it being such a long time between books. But I soon got into the swing of it and really enjoyed the book

Darkness onwards and into the light

I guess this book could be read on its own but you'd be much better reading the first one first! It does rather jump straight into the story.

Yep the first part is a little inwards and almost repetitive but thats the point i think. It gets a little dark and twisted but probably not as much as the first book.

A worthwhile read. Plus the authors notes at the end explained the world that Jeremy Robinson was in when he wrote it. Having a long term medical condition myself i fully understand and get the mental drain this has.

The narration as usual was top class. Wasn't that bothered about the outtakes. But was probably on the rebound from the story!

A solid follow up.

While I did find the book a bit slow and repetitive at the start, and personally found the callbacks to Robinson's got a bit too carried away (although I'm sure lots of fans loved it, and that's awesome) the book pays off big. The original was phenomenal and a tough act to follow, and while it may not have hit the same highs, it is a great read all in.

dont miss a sentence ;%#^£/$^&£¥¥_...

This was a highly anticipated 2nd book to his outstanding INFINITE...
Hes gone balls out n all guns blazing so I suggest you concentrate on every sentence...
If you are a car driving listener, forget abowwwwt it...
This is a 'listeners listen'...
That said ,after many many many rewinds I managed to keep up...That's why i can only give it 4 stars...
RCB deserves his Ferrari, yought and penthouse...
I highly recommend ROBOT GENETICISTS...

Genius as usual.

Another magnificent thrill ride by the king of....Well thrill rides. The first Infinite book was a sci fi classic and book 2 is an absolutely fantastic sequel full of twists and turns. Breathtaking, barn stomping, head shaking action all the way. A fantasic story and you get the legend himself R.C. Bray to read it for you. Another classic.
