Summary
Their journey begins....
The human race has turned to dust. August Morrison faces it after rising from the depths of a dark matter research facility in Arizona. His co-workers. His daughter. All of them: dust. Friends and colleagues around the world don’t answer their phones. The city of Phoenix burns. He is alone. As a world without mankind starts to crumble, August fights not just for survival, but for his very sanity.
On the other side of the country, Poe McDowell watches her parents crumble into dust just moments after being shoved inside a coffin-like device that spares her from the same fate. She emerges to find not just her mother and father, but also her neighbors - her entire town’s human population - reduced to grit. Unlike August, she’s not entirely alone, but the life growing in her belly isn’t much company.
Then, hope. A drunken and desperate August broadcasts over the ham radio network and connects with his fellow survivor, Poe, alone and pregnant in a snow blanketed New Hampshire. Determined to reach her, August sets out on a cross-country trek. But the world is not as empty as it seems. Lights in the sky reveal that they are not alone. The human race’s demise was not natural - and the architects are searching for survivors.
...at the end.
Jeremy Robinson, whose stories have been compared to Michael Crichton, James Rollins, and Stephen King, is the international best-selling master of stories featuring mind-bending imagination, terrifying monsters and high-octane action. With The Distance, he is joined by his wife, Hilaree Robinson, whose passionate writing and characters make this novel a truly unique and exciting experience that will leave readers both enthralled and moved.

Brilliant. Refreshingly Different.
I've listened to other Jeremy Robinson books and they're OK. The Distance is way above any of them and in a class of it's own. I hope the author realises this and continues in the same vein. A story that will stay with me for some time. A well deserved 5 stars.

Great book.
An incredibly well written book. It is one of Jeremy Robinson’s best, and superbly narrated.

Fantastic and emotional.
This is the second book I have read from this author. Just gets better .
The first 10 chapters are a grind but we'll worth the initial grind.

Interesting story
First thing I thought of was why are you not wearing Face masks if everyone is dust aren’t they breathing in dead bodies? Shudder! But that’s just me! That did not affect my enjoyment of the story.
I’d like to think if I was in Poe’s place I would get to a
Libary for books and a medical center to get info and pain meds for squirts arrival so I’d know what to do! and what I could take to minamise pain. But I’m a wuss!
What I did like was how neither of the main characters were the type of people who were prepared for an apocalypse sernaro
Neither of them knew what to do.
The story starts at the very beginning and carries on very well. I enjoyed it! I do love Jeffry voice I have never heard Heather Costa’s before I did find it a bit jarring going from a male to female narrator I have had a lot of books just read by one person, I got use to it. It didn’t stop me from enjoying the book though. The distance that August had to travel meant it wasn’t a day by day telling of the story so it progressed very well.

Loved it
Although not a big fan of post apocalyptic book this is a well told story, loved the two main characters and their interaction. The two narrators did a fantastic job, personally I like the multi narration.
I received this audiobook from Free Audiobook Codes for a review.

Distance... Distant.
The story is slow to start but worth the wait. Very easy to follow but I found it a tad dire in places. The ending wasn't as I expected....and possibly could lead to a "part two". If your a diehard Si Fi fan....you could do better. However it's a simple story and easy to follow.

Not a bad listen apart from the female narrator
This book is worth a listen if you dont mind female narrators. Nothing wrong with her voice or anything just not for me.
