Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Wonderful Storytelling
Reviewed: 03-27-24
Gripping combination of hard sci-fi and speculative fiction.
A bit light to the edge of dissapointing in the character development department, but that is pretty easily forgiven by a few, very well written character moments scattered throughout, especially toward the final climax.
Overall, what a great introduction to Mr. Weir, and that narrator did a spot-on job!

Didn't age quite so well...
Reviewed: 02-15-24
For what it was, the first real, comprehensive exploration into a world struggling against an undead menace, it's a masterpiece.
Though there are many themes and more than a few of the authors own...somewhat naive political leanings that manage to peek through every now and again, that have certainly been exposed in the years since by the events reflected in our own world as rather backwards and regressive; I would still urge readers to try and look past these flaws, and remember they are from a time less aware than our own and take the story for what it is:
A fun, gloomy, and sometimes saddening journey through a world much different, and sometimes, not-so-different, than ours.

Beyond the Pale is an anthology of 11 dark fantasy and paranormal stories that skirt the border between our world and others. Was that my imagination, or did I hear something under my bed? What was that blurred movement in my darkened closet? There is but a thin veil separating the real and the fantastic and therein dwell the inhabitants of these stories.

James Dommek, Jr., an Alaska Native writer and musician, sheds new light on a real-life mystery that pits Native American folklore against the US justice system. In the vast Alaskan Arctic, legend has it there once lived a mythic tribe—Iñukuns—that only existed in rumors and whispers. This changed forever when an actor-turned-fugitive, Teddy Kyle Smith, had an encounter that brought Iñukuns from myth to reality. Smith was an aspiring actor with a promising career until it all came quickly crashing down with a gunshot, a manhunt, bloodshed, and other frightful events.

A fascinating reflection.
Reviewed: 11-11-23
It's a spiritual book more than anything.
About how the ignorance and racism we think is unique to the white man's world is present in many cultures, in backwoods Alaska a much as any other.
Abuse of the courts, abuse of the self, abuse of one's own culture.
About how the proverbial "other" often insists on staying that way.

War seethed across the planet. Machines soared through the air, churned through the seas, crawled across the surface, pushing ever forward, carrying death. Earth was engaged in titanic struggle. Germany, Russia, France, China, Japan: the maps were changing day by day. The hostilities spread in ever-widening ripples of destruction: Britain, Italy, Africa...the fate of the world hung in the balance. Then the real enemy came.

Far from what it could have been
Reviewed: 06-23-23
For a war novel, it's rather disappointingly light on the military action, and needlessly heavy on the "romance"
Infidelity is icky subject matter even in the best of circumstances, and this book makes little effort to make it palatable.
Characters go nowhere and the exploration of the alien aspect doesn't go quite as deep as it could have, despite it being painfully clear the author had put alot of thought into them.
Overall it's a great concept undermined by dime store romance writing.

Great story, great narration, and finally a narrative that really is worth the time and investment.
Not to spoil it, but the story is well worth your time.
Some people may need to open their minds just a bit, but I promise you it's worth it.

A well written, but pointless continuation
Reviewed: 05-01-22
You ever find yourself listening to your friends having a conversation and youre about to add something but before you do, you stop and ask "does this really need to be said?" That's this book.
Robinson has a way with words and descriptions that can take you to other worlds and wonderful places...but the overall narrative here would better be defined as masturbation than a fitting conclusion to an already pretty out-there story.
RC Bray is amazing, as usual, but if you're like me and truly enjoyed Infinite, and are thirsting for more... probably a good idea to check out one of Robinsons other books and let this sleeping dog lie.
