Torment

By: Jeremy Robinson

Narrated by: R.C. Bray

Small town reporter Mia Durante finds herself having brunch with the President of the United States on the day civilization comes to an end.

An electromagnetic pulse blinds the U.S. Cars crash. Planes fall. Chaos reigns. Power is restored within minutes, but it’s already too late. Russian nukes are falling. U.S. allies around the world are already wiped out. The United States will cease to exist inside of five minutes.

After giving the order to launch a full-scale retaliation–dooming the planet–the president, his staff, Secret Service and those lucky enough to be visiting the White House, are whisked below ground, where they board several Earth Escape Pods. As the EEPs launch into Earth orbit, missiles descend.

Less than forty survive the end of the world. When they return, they’re greeted by survivors of a different sort. The bloodbath that follows leaves Durante and nine other survivors on the run. They find themselves fighting for survival in a world in which only torment remains and where death is the only escape.

Torment is award-winning author Jeremy Robinson’s first pulse-pounding horror novel (originally penned under his Jeremy Bishop pseudonym). It's a horrific tale of post-apocalyptic terror that is one part zombie story and one part Dante’s Inferno. The story asks hard questions and generates strong emotions in everyone who listens to it—anger, excitement, and most of all: fear. This book asks the question that everyone is afraid to answer: are you ready?

Wow!!!

This is my new favorite Robinson book, and that’s a very bold statement about my absolutely favorite author. I love being challenged, and JR always delivers. The way his writing leaps from a jumping off point and takes my imagination on a suspenseful, can’t-stop-listening, thought-provoking journey is unparalleled. I just finished listening, and I need to restart immediately and probably several times over. Robinson takes familiar concepts and beliefs and rearranges them in his stories so artfully, he forces you to re-examine what you know.

RC Bray is an amazing narrator! If his voice were a person, it’d be Cary Grant. Smooth, classic, and so talented. It’s always a joy to listen.

I feel Tormented

What a wild ride. I guessed the end, but changed my mind with all the twists. this book was frustrating for me because there's no relief.
I recommend this book to anyone else willing to torment themselves.

Great Story, but…

**** Slight Spoiler Ahead ****

I really like Jeremy Robinson’s novels!!! They’re interesting and original. I always look forward to when the next one comes out.

This novel is great too, but the ending was quite disappointing. When you’ve spent hours reading a novel and you’re invested in the characters, it’s a bit of let down when there is not enough resolution
and when some plot points are left unanswered. I wish there was a better explanation of the ending or some sort of author’s note at the end.

With those caveats, I still think it is an interesting read, however there are other novels by this author that you might enjoy more this one.

Twisted

This is not your typical Jeremy Robinson /RC Bray listen. It was dark and twisted but I loved it. The story was set in a place I imagined hell to be like growing up. The main characters are mentally, physically and spiritually tormented. Fear is the motivator is this book. It reminded me to have patience with my believing loved ones. (This book may be triggering for those in or passed a faith crisis).

Very edge of your seat suspenseful.

Unfortunately, I'm not a zombie fan. The whole story seemed very hopeless from the beginning and ended the same way without resolution. it left me feeling unsatisfied and hoping for a different ending. having said that it had my full attention all the way until the end

Good horror book. Unique.

As far as I know, this is Jeremy Robinson's first attempt at a horror novel. I think he did a pretty good job with the book. I'm a huge fan of his stories and I love how he brought them all together in his crossover.

Origanal

Jeremy Robinson doesn't own a cookie cutter. This guy's work is always original and never what you expect. If you want something new and different he will always provided it. I may not always like every thing about his books but I will say it's not the same old thing over and over and over again!

awesome ride

starts off slow in the beginning but begins to pick up pace like a roller coaster, definitely one of my favorite books

Never got hooked

The story never hooked me. I was always hoping I would get to a part of the story where I would care about the characters, but I never did.

I'm disappointed with the purchase. 😔

bad taste

it was a good story, but it left a bad taste in my mouth, it is like eating taco bell at first it sounds good, but an hour later you are burping up something that didn't taste well. probably wont relisten to this one.
