About this listen
Searching for a new home....
The Galahad, a faster-than-light spacecraft, carries 50 scientists and engineers on a mission to prepare Kepler 452b, Earth's nearest habitable neighbor at 1400 light years away. With Earth no longer habitable and the Mars colony slowly failing, they are humanity's best hope.
After 10 years in a failed cryogenic bed - body asleep, mind awake - William Chanokh's torture comes to an end as the fog clears, the hatch opens, and his friend and fellow hacker, Tom, greets him...by stabbing a screwdriver into his heart. This is the first time William dies.
It is not the last.
When he wakes from death, William discovers that all but one crew member - Capria Dixon - is either dead at Tom's hands, or has escaped to the surface of Kepler 452b. This dire situation is made worse when Tom attacks again - and is killed. Driven mad by a rare reaction to extended cryo-sleep, Tom hacked the Galahad's navigation system and locked the ship on a faster-than-light journey through the universe, destination: nowhere. Ever.
Mysteriously immortal, William is taken on a journey with no end, where he encounters solitary desperation, strange and violent lifeforms, a forbidden love, and the nature of reality itself.
...he discovers the infinite.
Jeremy Robinson, the master of fast-paced and highly original stories seamlessly blending elements of horror, science fiction, and thrillers, tackles his most ambitious subject matter to date: reality itself. An amalgam of the works of J.J. Abrams and Ridley Scott, Infinite is a bold science fiction novel exploring the vastness of space and a man's desire to exist, find love, and alter the course of his life.

The narration is, as expected, fantastic. R.C does a great job of the characters, building life and feeling into their voices while keeping them distinct and instantly recognisable. He's probably one of the best (if not the best?) performers out there at the moment and if you have't heard of him you really need to jump into one of the books he's read. You won't regret it!
What I perhaps wasn't expecting was a solid story, which despite its twists and turns actually wraps everything up in a neat, satisfying manor. Usually when an author tries to pack in too many twists, things tend to unravel at the end and questions end up invariably unanswered (or left to the audiences imagination - AKA the author is too lazy to come up with it themselves). Not so here. Not only do questions get answered but the ending actually makes sense in the context of the story.
I also didn't find the story overly sloppy or sentimental and enjoyed the fact that the ending tips towards the happier side of the scales. I find quite a few authors at the moment that try to pack a little shock value into the end of the book. I can only imagine this trend is an effort to be 'thought provoking'. Unfortunately what ends up happening is they often force characters to do things that make no sense looking back at their previous actions, or simply have events happen that feel shoehorned in, all to pull out that little bit of darkness at the end. There is a key decision right at the end of the book and thankfully the main character makes the choice which makes sense in their arc, instead of leaving the ending more open and much darker.
Perhaps the only major downside of the book is the main twist itself and how glaringly obvious it is for quite a portion of the book. If you want a book where you feel baffled until the end, this is probably going to leave you lacking there.
In the end I went in expecting not a lot, and found I enjoyed the book far more than I hoped I would. If you are looking for a decent sci-fi experience that isn't marines blasting aliens or endless galactic wars then this is a really decent option for you.
Solid sci-fi

One issue I kept running into was mixing up Cap and Gal. The names were just too similar and there were times where I forgot who was who.
Anyway, really enjoyed. When I have a free credit I'll definitely be checking out book 2
Enjoyable listen!

As a few other reviews have mentioned, early on I was starting to wonder what the heck was going on, and thought it seemed a bit weird and things were happening way too fast. But, I stuck with it, and it soon all made sense (if you can describe it as sense). Trust the reviews.
This is a book unlike anything you’ve ever read or heard before. It takes the term ‘thought-provoking’ to a WHOLE new level - in a good way. It will make you question everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. It’s crazy.
Amazingly, this is my first time ever listening to an RC Bray narration, and I now totally understand why he is so highly regarded. His tone fits the tempo of this book to perfection, and his characters are distinguishable and believable.
A great book topped off brilliantly by a fantastic narrator. Bring on number two!

It has now earned a spot in my top 5 science fiction books. The story kept me engaged throughout, with twists and turns that exceeded my expectations. The characters were so well-developed that i genuinely cared about what happened to them. The narrator did a fantastic job, bringing the story to life. The ending, which caught me off guard left me intrigued and eager for more. I'm really looking forward to reading the second book in the series!
Unexpectedly good
