From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Waste of time and money. Utterly mediocre
What disappointed you about Infinite?
The premise of this book is hackneyed and trite. It tries to tackle some "big ideas" but doesn't do them justice. It lurches from scene to scene and the "surprise ending" can be spotted a mile away. There is so much better science fiction out there that there's no need to waste your time on this. It's not interesting or well written.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Maybe something by John Scalzi. Better science fiction, better ideas, better humor.
What three words best describe R.C. Bray’s performance?
Adequate. Professional. Workmanlike.
Any additional comments?
Just bad. I rarely feel compelled to write reviews, but the fact that this has so many good reviews is a real head scratcher. It's the only reason I bought it and I feel ripped off. Honestly it seems pretty fishy.

This book is amazing. I honestly think this has bumped my #1 book to #3. I've found my new #1 favorite book. If you like mind bending, action, love stories that play out over time. You'll love this book. Everything was outstanding IMO. The pace, the story telling, the performance. This is a must read.

Let’s see: “life is a simulation “ ?!?
This book is a simulation of crap, only real...
A new low for SF. Too many cliches to mention.
But my favorite “life is more real in a simulation “. Are you serious?

a rather complex science fiction story
“Infinite” is a well-crafted, complex, romantic, science fiction story that is so much more than what it seems at first glance. It is written by Jeremy Robinson, who at the time of this review has nearly fifty books available on Audible. The audiobook edition is exceptionally well narrated by none other than R. C. Bray. Mr. Bray is ranked as one of the best narrators and he has a few quite popular titles under his belt; including “The Martian” by Andy Wier. I mention this because the book, for me, felt, like a bit like “The Martian”, along with parts from the movie “Inception” and sprinkle in a few ideas from the movie “The 13th Floor”. If you enjoy science fiction books that have a fair amount of action, mystery, artificial intelligence, along with time and space dilemmas, I recommend you pick up this book and give it a listen.
I will admit that the book was a bit confusing at the start. You are dropped into a rather complicated and confusing scene with no real background allowing you to digest it. A few chapters into the book, it opens up like a budding flower and you are able to see all the beauty of the story holds within. There were a few additional bumps along the way where I thought I had missed something, but the author was able to get me back on track rather quickly. Often this seemed like a writing technique the author implemented on purpose giving the listener a more unsettled feeling. As stated earlier, the book had a feel of “The Martian” on a spaceship instead of taking place on Mars. That simplifies the story and background, but knowing this you will have a better idea of what you are in for when you listen. Like with that story, there were plenty of times the main character narrowly escapes death, has to perform undesirable tasks, and often just wants to survive this long and lonely trip in one piece.
What I liked was the author’s ability to blend many different genres without focusing too much on one. Don’t get me wrong, this is a piece of science fiction, however, is also includes aspects of mystery, intrigue, romance, and endurance. At times the book feels weighty and even a bit gloomy based on its backstory details, but the author is able to throw in pieces of humor so the story does not feel too overwhelming. There was a fair amount of physics and space/time travel discussion I the book, but one does not need to be a rocket scientist to understand it; but if you are, you may enjoy it even more. The author provides you with all the necessary concepts along the way so anyone understand it. Things like the difference in time for someone on earth compared to time observed by a person in a ship traveling faster than the speed of light (FTL). I felt the research as solid, believable and informative. I enjoyed how the story unfolded and provided hints or clues on why such a tragedy occurred during the opening scene.
The narration of the book by R. C. Bray was what I would have expected from a veteran in his trade. The book was professionally voiced across the many different characters and I do not remember any audio artifacts while listening; swallowing, page turns, etc. The audio volume was consistent throughout the book. I have never been disappointed by any narration done by Mr. Bray.
For parents and young readers, this book does at times have a fair amount of vulgar language. There are also some quite graphic and violent scenes which may not be appropriate for younger readers. The book has some storyline focused on romance; but nothing I can recall that was overly explicit or sexual. There are a few scenes containing anti-religious pokes, but again, I do not feel the author was using this to get across some hidden agenda.
To summarize, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a rather complex science fiction story involving artificial intelligence and time/space. However, being in space is only one small part of the overarching message that I think others will enjoy. There is quite a bit that will appeal to lovers of SciFi, but I would recommend it also to those who aren’t into science fiction but enjoy being challenged by a well-written story. If you feel lost at the start, that is not a bad thing. Stick with the book and buckle up as you will enjoy the flight.

Excellent book that leaves you on the floor at the end. Space travel, AI, romance and tragedy all wrapped up in one space ship.

Blah
Boring and predictable. I had the plot figured out immediately. I just couldn’t manage to suspend my disbelief long enough to get into this book.

Press through to the end - skillfully written
About half way through this book I was ready to give the story 3 stars - too many inconsistencies and logical plot holes (you know - the ones that make you shout out). But I pressed on. Without giving spoilers the author has in fact managed to play with your sense of disbelief and bring you into the mind of the main protagonist, skillfully playing with your perceptions. Just when you start to think "hang on a minute" the narrative manages to distract or influence you into new avenues.
I am still not sure whether the narrative and plot techniques employed enable easy cover for sloppy plots and logical errors or whether that was always the intention to give you hints and whisps of clues. But at the end I felt like I really understood the mind of the main character and what they had been going through. The outcome / denouement was obvious in some ways but the author manages to keep you guessing and turning one way and the other. After all - what he proposes is entirely possible...

Insanely fast-paced!! Love it!!!! :)
It's not going to win any literary awards and... yes... there's holes in the story, but WOW! If you can imagine riding an insanely mad roller-coaster for 10 hours then you've got to listen to this. For sheer mind-bending, rip-roaring si-fi entertainment and narration from the amazing R.C.Bray this is must!

Thought provoking
Found this as listening my way through all of RC Bray’s audio performances. Loved it. Great premise, how do you live forever without going insane. Wonderfully performed by RC Bray as usual. Would totally recommend.

Fantastic
An incredible story spanning time and space! Although slightly predictable in some places it doesn’t take away from the fresh plot and fantastic voice acting. I didn’t want it to end!

This book got me hooked on Jeremy Robinson.
This was the second book I Listened to by Robinson (the first being NPC). While NPC left me Intrigued, Infinite well and truly dug its claws into me. There was something about the over arching premise of the story that reminded me of the film Passengers but past the first act the story takes an unexpected turn that left me unable to stop listening! The way Robinson paces this story it felt like I was listening to 4 sci-fi films back to back only with the ending leaving me wanting more, which apparently we will get in March as a sequal is in the works! Seriously if you like sci fi and good story telling buy this book you will not regret it!

I’ve just had my mind blown
Absolutely outstanding performance by the ever amazing R.C. Bray,
Jeremy Robinson creates an amazing story of struggle, romance, success and loss and builds a perfect world, in which you can get enveloped in, leaving you asking yourself some of the same questions.
Absolutely amazing!

Amazing! Can not rate this book highly enough
This is honestly without a doubt the most amazing thing I have ever listened to in my life! I have never been so amazed, thrilled and emotional about a book. The ending has me questioning my whole existence. This has me thinking about life, space and time in a completely different dimension and I’m just a dumb tractor driver lol Absolute respect to the author! I just have to say again I can not rate this book highly enough. Absolutely frothing over the experience. Please make more!!!

Not what you’d expect and had me hanging
Where to start without giving anything away?
How about so pumped with action you almost feel fatigued by the labour’s of our hero. It kept me guessing and had me questioning my theories but ultimately gratifying. This book holds a special place in my heart now and could not have been brought to life by anyone other than R C Bray. Do yourself a favor, Infinite is worth it.

Awesome!!!
Mr Robinson has an amazing ability to draw me into the worlds he creates .
And the cool thing is that I can see the twist coming but somehow he convinced me that I am imagining it!! So he still manages to surprise me .
Great book -well worth downloading.
PS . RC Bray is my favourite narrator on Audible
He breathes life into everything he narrates -fantastic work

it could have been a lot more
The story has good meat on it's bones, however a large part of it is simply not up to what it needs to be. our protagonist and love interest a frustratingly on sympathetic, and while it does do a good bait and switch with that, I don't feel that it was quite enough.
you're not going to find anything new or particularly groundbreaking in the story. But for what it's worth I kept reading it after putting it down several times.

Transparent
I figured out the core plot and where the hero stuffed up when it happened, so there was no surprise in the end. Just a little to predictable. I'd be interested in seeing how he gets to the next stage or step.

Poor Story
This was a predictable story with no meaning or direction. a "Total Recall" rip off.
