About this listen

In a dark and distant future, death is obsolete.

Jonas is a transient: a human spy living as an eternal. His mission is simple: always learn, never get caught.

In the year 2578, an immortal regime controls the planet. Endless war has pushed humanity to the brink of extinction. Desperate to survive, the remaining factions deploy teenage spies, hoping to defeat the enemy from within.

After years in the lion's den, Jonas has grown to admire the eternal civilization. He is learning to love what he blindly hated, blurring the mission and himself.

But a reckoning is coming. The fates of billions hang in the balance. When the axe falls, Jonas must choose between his family and his species.

Transient is a Readers' Favorite® 5-Star Selection and a B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree.

One of my favorite series brought to life

The Immortal Wake has always been a favorite series of mine. I love the gritty realism, the dark suspense, and the brutal commentary of a society in transition. It's also a fresh and fantastic take on an old legend. I think Burgher has perfectly captured the tone and tension that Wheeler created. He's a wonderful Jonas and his depictions of the remaining cast are all on point (especially Doren). I cannot wait to see what he does with Thursday Midnight, my favorite of the series.

Great Dark Futuristic Novel

This was my first experience with Zachry Wheeler's work, and I found it very entertaining. Humans were on the brink of destruction. Teenagers were used as spies to try and overthrow the existing regime. Jonas was caught between his past and his present. I was amazed at the complex worldbuilding. I liked many of the complicated characters. Once the audiobook started, I had to listen until the end as I had to know what would happen. I'm looking forward to the next story in the series. Eric Burgher's narration was great, and his performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Can not recommend

The story is fragmented the plot line, pretty much nonexistent. It reads like a psychedelic rift.
