‘Everything alive on this planet exists in its current form due to mutations’
During a mission, Bricker discovers his inability to die when an instinct prevents him from deploying his parachute. This revelation unveils his superior species status, an evolutionary leap for humanity. Dr. Gordon aims to study Bricker, but authorities consider him deceased. However, Bricker's consciousness resides in the multiverse, where he explores various lives. Each visit uncovers a frightening journey.
‘The Creeps’ and ‘The Brute’ were truly nightmarish, they made me feel incredibly uncomfortable and slightly queasy, I have no doubt this was the intention but it was very visceral. This took more of a horrific gore and rape twist than the other books, which was hard to endure. (CW Episode name Channel 14)
The storyline takes on a peculiar trajectory, becoming challenging to follow midway through, and I ended up quite confused. Whilst I love Pauley as an author, overall this one was not for me I’m afraid.
The narrator was great as usual and has a fantastic range of character voices.
