Publisher's Summary
The Gateway Project was going to save our world by opening up a doorway to infinite versions of our planet. But the threshold has gone completely out of control, sending all those other Earths onto a collision course with ours. Now, our reality is cracking apart.
Abby Corman did not open the Gateway, but she is the only one who knows how to close it. But an alien Hunter and her pack of deadly hellcats have stepped into our world, and they will stop at nothing to kill Abby. Because in a universe of parallel worlds, one Earth’s savior can be the worst criminal other Earths have ever known.
Bewilderness: What Rough Beast continues the gripping tale of science fiction horror as two women - one human, one alien - battle each other to save infinity.

Father of cyberpunk William Gibson’s original script for Alien III, written in 1987 as a sequel to Aliens, never made it to our screens, although it went on to achieve cult status among fans as the third instalment that might have been after being leaked online. This terrifying, cinematic multicast dramatisation - directed by the multi-award-winning Dirk Maggs - is the chance to experience William Gibson’s untold story and its terrifying, claustrophobic and dark encounters between humans and aliens, as a completely immersive audio experience.

It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

Caught in one feud too many, he's on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian - leaving nothing behind him but bad songs, dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies. Nobleman, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, Captain Jezal dan Luthar has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle. But war is brewing, and on the battlefields of the frozen North they fight by altogether bloodier rules.

The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there's no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents - telekinesis and telepathy - who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and 10-year-old Avery Dixon.

But Shining is now something more than human. And the scrapyard is no longer just a scrapyard, but a place full of secrets. This life she has built, while empty, is predictable and safe. Until the only friend left from her previous life shows up, dead, in the back of a scrapped Tesla warplane. Clutched in her cold fingers is a note to Shining - warning her of a coming attack.

It began on New Year’s Eve. The sickness came on suddenly, and spread quickly. The fear spread even faster. Within weeks, everything people counted on began to fail them. The electrical grid sputtered; law and government collapsed - and more than half of the world’s population was decimated. Where there had been order, there was now chaos. And as the power of science and technology receded, magick rose up in its place.

Ehhhh
I have not finished it, but I am struggling to find a reason to care. The soothing voice trying to deliver a dangerous set of events is just awkward. The back and forth jumping to people who sit and think about things for a decade. I mean it is a cool idea, but it's missing a lot so far. They open a crazy sci-fi technology and the operation sent everyone home and didn't have anyone near the power source to shut it down!
An ex spec ops / social influencer who's frozen by thought while hanging for what seems to be days.
The human predator thing thinks about hunting without actually hunting. Everyone everywhere Abby this Abby that while sitting there.
Again I have not got far, but it's more like watching Amish Mafia the first few episodes than being hooked so far.
If it doesn't get better I may have to jump through a portal to end Abby myself considering the huntress is still in thought trying to remember if she turned the fire pit off.

Part two of this three part story did not disappoint. Another glimpse into the endless fountain of creation, this part finds the survivors encountering shocks at every corner. As always there are those we root for and those we hope meet a gruesome end. Anxiously awaiting the conclusion.

Superb story and outstanding narrator
Sometimes you start a sequel to a book you love with trepidation...knowing it will probably disappoint. NOT HERE...the sequel builds to a wild climax and a reveal that's soooo satisfying and makes you just want more and more of these alternative worlds.
The writing is deeply engaging with vivid imagery and artfully crafted characters ...what makes this listen exceptional though is the narrator, Shayna Small---what a talent! Her acting brings every character to life with unique vocal personalities. She's certainly among the best I've ever heard and even gives the wonderful Ray Porter a run for his money. Looking forward to MORE Bewilderness sequels read by Shayna Small. Thanks Maberry for giving your readers an escape from THIS crazy world!

Things go from bad to worse
Now that the threshold has been opened, infinite worlds have been exposed to the technology involved. A hunter comes through, searching for the creator of this technology, in order to put her to an end for the destruction she has wrought.
Things continue to worsen for the survivors as more and more changes are brought into this world, and survival seems bleak.
Very much looking forward to the final novella!
