Thanks to the heroics of former New York City Mayor Tom Cafferty and his team, the world is once again safe.

When Cafferty enters a nest underneath the Nevada desert, he is horrified to find it completely empty. It can only mean one thing: the battle for survival is not over. Across the planet, creatures are emerging from their subterranean homes.

They are the Clickers, giant, venomous, bloodthirsty crabs from the depths of the sea. The only warning to their rampage of dismemberment and death is the terrible clicking of their claws.

Publisher's Summary
“Murray and Wearmouth’s latest THE BRINK is a white-knuckled rollercoaster. This novel is chocked full of everything I love: strange creatures, a world teetering on the edge, and heroes who I’d want at my side during any firefight. This isn’t just a story hopped on steroids - but one injected with nitrous and blazing on all cylinders. Give me more!” (James Rollins, number one New York Times best seller of Crucible)
The sequel to the international best seller (including number one Sunday Times best seller)
Awakened, by one of the stars of TruTV’s Impractical Jokers and a best-selling science fiction author.
Former NYC Mayor Tom Cafferty has been haunted by the horror of a single day. The opening of the brand new Z-train subway line beneath the Hudson River - the supposed shining moment of his tenure. But the ribbon-cutting ceremony turned deadly when the train carrying Cafferty’s wife and other citizens was attacked by a horde of hyper intelligent, bloodthirsty creatures previously unknown to humanity.
Everything changed for Cafferty, ex-NYPD officer Sarah Bowcut, and tech-expert Diego Munoz that day. They had uncovered the deadly truth: The attack was no accident. And now the creatures that wreaked havoc underneath New York have spread worldwide, and with a massive cover-up - and a secret organization holding nations hostage with the knowledge of how to kill them - Cafferty’s team must fight against impossible odds to save the entire planet from an apocalyptic scale disaster.
An explosive and thrilling international adventure, the stakes are even higher in the latest book from best-selling duo James S. Murray and Darren Wearmouth!

Murr is my favorite joker
I felt the villain was a little to over the top, I mean nazi in a wheelchair is a bit much. The other problem I have is I know Murray and his voice too well and I actually had a problem listening to him as a narrator because I really just saw an anthropomorphic ferret in a robe reading to me. All that aside I enjoy the story and James is not a bad narrator. Murray is one of the top influential people in my list of inspiring individuals. Based on what the others said he is the main reason that Impractical Jokers exists, Sal has called him one of the most driven individuals he knows. I know that Murr is often the butt of the show but when I look at James S Murray I see an inspiration! I enjoyed the first two books and want to hear the third one soon hopefully. Keep it up Murray you effing rock!

Poor sequel
The first several minutes was a commercial for the TV show. Then the hardship started.
The narration of the first book was ok to good but this one is so bad that several times I was tempted to stop but I never before I did not finished a book , I was so close.
Some how the characters this time became annoying , As I get closer to the end I was hoping all of them got blown away.
This monster book became monster less and what make the first book entertaining was left as background noise.
I read other people reviews and realized I was listening to a different book.
One good thing I have to say this is the perfect low budget ,low quality , bad acting SYFY movie of the month,
If I see this movie in SYFY will give it 5 starts.

A beautiful sequel chilling and thrilling
I have to admit as a fan of the jokers, come across the first novel in the awakens series I was pleasantly surprised. So after waiting an entire year, I was pretty excited to read the second book. Listening to the audiobook really suck you into the story. Growing with the character development and on the edge of my seat much of a time finding out which twist interns the story would take. While I am sad to have to wait a few more months for the third novel, excited for more great things to come

A Political Horror Thriller
I’ve been sitting on this one… with no good reason. I enjoyed Awakened (I believe I called it a candidate for the best of 2018). I think I was worried that The Brink was going to let me down. In comparison to the title I gave Awakened – it did, but not really. The Brink was less of a horror novel and more of a political thriller with some horror elements thrown in. I’ll explain…
The Brink tells the story of Albert Van Ness and his shadow organization. I have to tip my hat to Murray and Wearmouth – I honestly cannot think of a villain in another story that I disliked more than Van Ness. He was hateable in every single way. His organization is doing things that are awful and he’s trying to extort major governments for massive amounts of money in the process.
Part revenge story and part political thriller – The Brink was still an well told story. I flew through it and couldn’t wait to see what was next. The opening (alternate history) was fascinating and told me right out of the gate that The Brink was going to be different.
A good book for those who like political thrillers and horror books. If you read Awakened – you’ll enjoy The Brink as well.

I've now read the trilogy and loved every second of it, even Murr's questionable French accent in the first book! It is gory, action packed, crazy, explosive fun. Murr did a fabulous job narrating. I'd definitely recommend. The only downside is that I've now finished them :,-(
