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?

Haunting and Thrilling

I was not expecting this. I've read...I dunno... six other Robinson's in the Infinite Timeline and I recall these "people" from The Order but... this was absolutely haunting. I devoured this book. Fantastic and as usual a knockout performance from our man, RC. Absolutely phenomenal - but do not listen to at night.

Not your typical apocalyptic movie

While RC Bray is absolutely fantastic as the narrator, as always, this book left me feeling, well, tormented. If you are big on happy endings then this one is DEFINITELY not for you. Starts dark, and keeps getting darker. Until finally you are left saying to yourself.... this can't be the end right? I'm sure some people will like this book but it is definitely a little too hopeless for me

Not for me

I have enjoyed several of the books in this series but this one just doesn’t do it for me. Not as well written and honestly the religious aspects of the story wasn’t expected after reading about gods, aliens, genetic modification, living in a virtual matrix, spaceships and AI.
It brought up my anxiety and religious trauma. Which probably isn’t a problem for most of you. I hope you enjoy it more than I did. I hope the next one is better and moves away from this direction of theology and philosophy.
Keep writing Jeremy. My favorite so far is Mind Bullet.

Incredible!

I originally thought about giving it less stars because of the ending (no spoilers!), but after like two seconds of thought I concluded that this is one of the best books I have ever listened to/read. I have nothing bad or even slightly negative to say about it. Pretty much everything about it is a 10/10 for me. If you’re looking for something to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time, this is it.

Stressful, but worth the ride.

Good story and worth the time. I understand some of the complaints, but people are being to harsh. This is a dark twisted ride. Good take on the Zombie genre.
Writer was not kind to the main character, but hey we all deal with our pain in our own ways. He decided to torture this poor women.

Spoiler alert!

The end if the world does not have a happy ending.
