I've come to know that I truly enjoy Jeremy's books. Not only do we get an entertaining and twisting story, I get my action and boldness with the characters I love. There comes a point when they have to stand or fall, and his characters chose what I want to see. The characters have a fully developed growth that flows with the story and events. It feels natural and believable for the characters to make the choices they make, even if the story is a science fiction fantasy read.

Mr. Robinson has done it again, he kept me glued to this story. I have always been drawn to sci-fi stories and this one was another instant hit by someone who has quickly joined my top 3 favorite authors list.
The Others addresses alien abductions in a unique way that really makes one examine the concept of “absolute power corrupting absolutely”. I also greatly enjoyed how Jeremy tied all of the plot points together at the end of the story.
The ending definitely introduced some onions to the room, especially the closing line. R.C. Bray did another fantastic job bringing Jeremy’s words to life, as he always does. Jeremy and Bob seem to be a natural pairing for his stories.
Another easy 5/5 from Mr. Robinson and I can’t wait to see the stories he comes up with next.

I enjoyed this book more than I anticipated in that if there is a sequel I would love to read it. The characters were all fully fleshed and sympathetic, even the "NPCs" and the twist about the aliens was great. I had a few issues with the religious take. I think that could have been served differently considering the trouble religious minorities tend to have in this country but all in all I enjoyed the story.

An interesting book of science fiction that manages to explain the origin of aliens and connect them with Joseph Smith and polygamy. Throw in a few evil nanobots and an escape to a Nevada house of prostitutes and you know you're in for a wild ride.

Book Information
[b:The Others|40850987|The Others (Infinite, #2)|Jeremy Robinson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1531779366l/40850987._SY75_.jpg|63618759] was written by [a:Jeremy Robinson|12328|Jeremy Robinson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1453948377p2/12328.jpg]. The book was published on July 24, 2018 and is 314 pages. It is not a series but one of a group of 13 stand-alone novels in one universe all leading to a massive crossover. I listened to the audio version which is narrated by R.C. Bray. Jeremy Robinson is the New York Times bestselling author of seventy novels and novellas.
Summary
A girl has gone missing and the mother calls Dan Delgado, a private investigator who excels at finding people. But this seemingly simple case isn’t at all what it seems—that becomes apparent when a team of heavily armed mercenaries arrives in a helicopter and opens fire.
Dan is eventually joined by his elderly assistant, a gun-toting pastor, and a UFO enthusiast Uber driver. The group plunges into a dangerous world of corporate competition, UFO lore, and government cover-ups as they search for the missing girl, try to survive, and learn that all of humanity might be at risk….
My Thoughts
I have read and enjoyed several books by Robinson within this literary universe he is creating and this one does not disappoint.
The action starts early and doesn’t let up. Make no mistake, this is not Shakespeare or Tolstoy. It’s not a deeply philosophical novel designed to make you ponder your existence. It’s a fun thrill ride from beginning to end. If you want to analyze every piece or part, you are thinking too much—sit back and enjoy the ride.
The characters are enjoyable and well-written. A lot of contrasts and funny dialogue along the way. The book also delivers a fresh take on aliens (the extraterrestrial kind) which I found very interesting.
There are twists and revelations throughout the story. As I said above—this book is part of a universe that will cross over with other books in the future. I am excited to see how and when aspects of this story merge with others. No doubt good things are to come.
R.C. Bray’s narration of the audio version of this book is also noteworthy. He does a fantastic job of bringing the characters and story to life which is a challenge given both the number of characters and the action involved in the book. Very well done.
Recommendation
If you like action and want a fun read (or better yet, listen) – this book won’t let you down. Recommended.

4 out of 10 stars.
Cool premise. Sophomoric writing.
This would make a good story for a video game. Maybe it started that way?
