Publisher's summary

Unspeakable horror is unleashed in this riveting thriller from the international best-selling author of Dark Visions and Hunter.

In an experiment to discover what secrets are hidden within the infinite vastness of the galaxy, scientists create a machine so powerful that it rips a hole through space and time. But instead of revealing the dark world of their own universe the machine opens a gateway to a universe infinitely more horrifying...and infinitely evil.

After seven physicists vanish during a routine test of the highly guarded Hadron Super Collider in Geneva, a series of grisly murders also begin at the facility and an elite squad of American military operators are dispatched to discover the truth behind the hideous slaughter. Meanwhile, the sister of a missing scientist hires a mysterious, powerful stranger known only as Isaiah to discover the fate of her sister.

Working against time, the two teams risk everything in their quest to learn the insidious truth behind the most dangerous machine in the world, and soon find that the Super Collider did not just open a gateway to the furthest reaches of the galaxy: It opened a far more terrifying gateway, for it bridged the gulf between Earth and Hell...

Somebody please plug-in the narrator!

I forced myself to complete this Audiobook. The narration of the book was disturbingly bad. The narrator does not possess the ability to modulate emotional tone regardless of the story.

this is a joke, right?

I made it one hour into this book. That's all I could handle. It can be described best as hilariously bad. It feels like it was written by a scientifically illiterate 15 year old choir boy for an audience of 8 year old evangelicals.

The characters are so bad, and the "science" so utterly wrong insane, that several times when they were speaking I laughed at precisely how stupid it all sounded.

Imagine schlocky 50s sci fi, where the authors just made science word salad and hoped their audience wouldn't be conversant in the topics at hand to notice they were spouting pure gibberish- not picture if someone took that concept and attempted to write a sci fi military story, but they also didn't know jack about the military and tried to plot through without doing any research. that's what you have here

Another Great Huggins Listen

I think I have probably listened to all the Huggins books on Audible. This one is another great one.
