The Paths Between Worlds

By: Paul Antony Jones

Narrated by: Kate Reading

Welcome children of Earth, do not be afraid.

After a devastating car crash leaves her addicted to pain pills and her best friend dead, Meredith Gale has finally been pushed beyond her breaking point. Now, ending her life seems like the only way out, and that choice has left her dangling by her fingertips from a bridge high above the freezing water of the San Francisco Bay. But someone, or something, has other plans for Meredith. As her fingers slip from the cold steel of the bridge, a disembodied voice asks her a simple question: “Candidate 13: Do you wish to be saved?”

Realizing her mistake too late, Meredith screams “Yes!” and instantly finds herself transported to a mysterious island, alongside hundreds of other Candidates like her, each pulled from human history with seemingly little in common. But when Meredith stumbles across a cryptic message meant only for her, she uncovers an even bigger mystery - a mystery that places the fate of humanity’s future firmly in her hands.

With the help of her new companions, Meredith sets out on an impossible journey to find the one person who can solve the riddle of why they were brought to this strange, alien Earth...assuming they can survive the dangers that lurk within this new world and the dark forces massing against them.

Check out the first audiobook in the This Alien Earth Series, a futuristic adventure perfect for fans of Jeremy Robinson, Stephen King, and Lost.

Critic reviews

"A stunning sci-fi gem. The Path Between Worlds delivers a mind bending, exquisitely crafted start to a saga unlike anything you've read before." (Steven Konkoly, USA Today best-selling author of the Perseid Collapse series)

"Fresh, original and highly imaginative. I loved it." (RR Haywood, Washington Post best-selling author of Extracted)

Great reader, unsatisfying ending

This is one of those books that ends, not at the end of the story, but where the next book is supposed to start. I find that annoying.

Well worth a credit

There were points where I thought this was a self help book, then that went away and I just purely enjoyed this book. Ms Reading does a great job and while I was painting bar stools I actually sat down when the words "Sit down and shut up!" I needed a break anyway.
As all the good ones go, I did not like the end of book one as it ended too soon. 11 hours and 29 minutes can fly by.

Thank you Mr. Jones for this book and I look forward to the rest of them.

Rather predictable

Some good ideas hampered by ponderous writing. I wasn't sufficiently intrigued to purchase the next in the series.

Brain Candy

A highly entertaining read. I just have one small problem with the excellent narration. Kate Reading represents the voice of Kay Scarpetta in the Patricia Cornwell books. I have listened to her voice that character through many books, so I keep confusing the main character in this book with Kay Scarpetta. Kate Reading does such a good job on all the characters in this book, from robot voices to those speaking different languages from differing times. I thoroughly enjoyed the book in spite of the mix up in my brain of a character from another series.

Beware

To start this review I need to mention that I received my copy of this book free for a unbiased review, thus these are my true thoughts. Only read this book if you want to suffer sleepless nights and long bathroom breaks in order to continue listening. Once I started listening I could not put it down. I very rarely give 5 stars due to beliving everything could use improvement but this is an exception. I can only hope that the next book to come will be as promising as the first.
