Is your life real or is the world you live in a simulation? Are the people you call friends and neighbors living beings with inalienable rights, or are they NPCs - Non-Player Characters - whose soulless path through life is predetermined?
Samael Crane, a brilliant scientist, believes NPCs are all around us. And he can prove it.
When a body is discovered in the bay off Essex, Massachusetts, small town pastor and former Marine plagued by doubts, Ezekiel Ford finds himself called in to identify the deceased. His history is unknown. His full name is a mystery. No one knows where he came from. In fact, Ezekiel seems to be the only person in town who ever really noticed him, living on the fringe of reality, and sometimes in the homeless shelter supported by his church.
Ezekiel’s involvement in the case doesn’t go unnoticed by Samael, who has set out to prove - through deadly means - that NPCs exist, that reality is simulated, and that ‘God’ is a coder with a grudge. The two men’s missions become inextricably entwined, leading them down a path through the gray area between good and evil, science and religion, and reality and simulation, barreling toward a truth that will change the world and humankind’s place in it forever.
New York Times and number one Audible.com best-selling author Jeremy Robinson takes listeners on a journey that is not only action-packed, but full of scientific and philosophical intrigue. In his most mind-bending story since Infinite and Alter, Robinson blends genres, belief systems, and bold prose into an unputdownable tale exploring the nature of reality.
In the audiobook edition he is joined by number one Audible.com best-selling narrators, R.C. Bray and Jeffrey Kafer, creating a truly one-of-a-kind listening experience.

But for real, Bray and Jeffrey Kafer have fit the stories of Robinson so well, that when this book was first teased I went insane with anticipation. and it did not disappoint. their narration is the bar I set for others. They do the voices and accents perfectly, so that they are clear when different characters are speaking, and the emotion needed, but nothing over the top or worse, Enders Game 20th anniversary (sounded like Barry White reading for a preteen character. spent the first 2 hours of the story trying to find the equalizer to lower the bass.)
Robinson/Bray/Kafer is a friggin dream team.
Now for the story.
This one is a treat. Space Force was a treat for the opposite reasons this is a treat. had to turn my mind on for this one. Still haven't been able to turn it off. I would probably call myself a Jeremy Robinson super fan. I have loved every book I've read by him. some inspiring, some suspenseful and full of twists, some action packed spectacles, Space Force. This is the first time I would analyze events while listening. the first time I had to really pause and think about what happened (literally pause between chapters). And although the end sorts things out (in a sense), after I finished, I spent time (still doing it) imagining the world in the story was this world, and how I would cope.
and honestly I was slightly terrified of the implications. And also sorta hopeful. Then dubious and doubtful. But then.... Simulation Theory. Fffffuuuuuuu@k. My mind keeps pulling on threads I don't know if I was meant to or not. Could someone eventually accumulate enough processing power to tap into the code? Perhaps the architect is too intelligent. but for the full expanding universe, no being anywhere can attain that intelligence? or at least near enough, to uncover the source code? If the architect is that advanced, what connection could a mind like that ever feel to the simpler minds? How could it relate to a human with their base emotions and what has to be painfully slow brain processes? But does that mean contact With man inevitably leads to man rising to the level of the Architect? just some of the thoughts I've had.
Oddly enough it brings me always back to Mirrorworld. How was that not more popular? Crazy deserved better.

Speaking of the story - what a fun concept to explore, especially in the capable hands of JR! I enjoyed the overall implications of a potential simulated world, and I liked how both religion and technology were not only explored individually, but actually bounced off each other as potential partners in a singular world that can be seen through multiple lenses. I also enjoyed the humor and the little call outs to things in the modern day zeitgeist - hooray for the Orville joke!
All in all, this story is a fantastic listen that will keep you on your toes and saying “just one more chapter!” until you finally reach the end, hopefully with all of your original questions answered, yet also with an entire new set tingling your brain into deeper thought and reflection.
An epic techno-romp with compelling characters and an excellent balance of action, story, development and even some philosophy!
