The Distance

By: Jeremy Robinson, Hilaree Robinson

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer, Heather Costa

Their journey begins....

The human race has turned to dust. August Morrison faces it after rising from the depths of a dark matter research facility in Arizona. His co-workers. His daughter. All of them: dust. Friends and colleagues around the world don’t answer their phones. The city of Phoenix burns. He is alone. As a world without mankind starts to crumble, August fights not just for survival, but for his very sanity.

On the other side of the country, Poe McDowell watches her parents crumble into dust just moments after being shoved inside a coffin-like device that spares her from the same fate. She emerges to find not just her mother and father, but also her neighbors - her entire town’s human population - reduced to grit. Unlike August, she’s not entirely alone, but the life growing in her belly isn’t much company.

Then, hope. A drunken and desperate August broadcasts over the ham radio network and connects with his fellow survivor, Poe, alone and pregnant in a snow blanketed New Hampshire. Determined to reach her, August sets out on a cross-country trek. But the world is not as empty as it seems. Lights in the sky reveal that they are not alone. The human race’s demise was not natural - and the architects are searching for survivors.

...at the end.

Jeremy Robinson, whose stories have been compared to Michael Crichton, James Rollins, and Stephen King, is the international best-selling master of stories featuring mind-bending imagination, terrifying monsters and high-octane action. With The Distance, he is joined by his wife, Hilaree Robinson, whose passionate writing and characters make this novel a truly unique and exciting experience that will leave readers both enthralled and moved.

He's done it again!

Jeremy Robinson along with his wife Hilaree have created a book that I know will stay with me for years. It's one of those rare books that I know I will listen to over and over - picking up the foreshadowing I only briefly glimpsed. I've read or listened to many post-apocalyptic books but this one now ranks in my top three. The characters are so well defined and their emotions and reactions are all so real. I will miss them.

Excellent! Can't recommend enough!

Really enjoyed this one. Tremendous story by the Robinsons, and Kafer and Costa made a dynamic duo on the narration. Worth a credit.

Really good

Well written, likable characters, intriguing plot with a satisfying conclusion. Talks a bit more about urination than I'd consider a normal amount, but overall a great listen.

Awesome

This book was really awesome. I was really surprised by the ending. The narrators were superb.

Very interesting and exciting book.

Once I started listening to this book, The distance, it was hard for me to stop. The readers were very intriguing and kept me on the edge of my seat. The story was wonderful.

I would highly recommend this book to all Audible readers.
