Publisher's Summary

Is your life real or is the world you live in a simulation? Are the people you call friends and neighbors living beings with inalienable rights, or are they NPCs - Non-Player Characters - whose soulless path through life is predetermined?

Samael Crane, a brilliant scientist, believes NPCs are all around us. And he can prove it.

When a body is discovered in the bay off Essex, Massachusetts, small town pastor and former Marine plagued by doubts, Ezekiel Ford finds himself called in to identify the deceased. His history is unknown. His full name is a mystery. No one knows where he came from. In fact, Ezekiel seems to be the only person in town who ever really noticed him, living on the fringe of reality, and sometimes in the homeless shelter supported by his church. 

Ezekiel’s involvement in the case doesn’t go unnoticed by Samael, who has set out to prove - through deadly means - that NPCs exist, that reality is simulated, and that ‘God’ is a coder with a grudge. The two men’s missions become inextricably entwined, leading them down a path through the gray area between good and evil, science and religion, and reality and simulation, barreling toward a truth that will change the world and humankind’s place in it forever. 

New York Times and number one Audible.com best-selling author Jeremy Robinson takes listeners on a journey that is not only action-packed, but full of scientific and philosophical intrigue. In his most mind-bending story since Infinite and Alter, Robinson blends genres, belief systems, and bold prose into an unputdownable tale exploring the nature of reality. 

In the audiobook edition he is joined by number one Audible.com best-selling narrators, R.C. Bray and Jeffrey Kafer, creating a truly one-of-a-kind listening experience.

Loved the concept!

Firstly, this book is narrated by, not one, but TWO of the best voices in the business! That alone should be a huge selling point. The story itself is enjoyable enough as well. The entire concept is one that's definitely fun to explore and the execution is done really well. The introduction of "polygons" as the adversary was a cool concept too. The start of the book was a little slow for me, but not enough to cause me to switch off thankfully, and the ending wasn't quite how I would have liked it, but I still enjoyed the book overall.

Interesting concept

I've believed we live in a matrix of information and can relate to the pastors experience when I encountered something similar without the aid of gadgets.
Great delivery by both Narrators.. nice work.

Fascinating story. Well executed

I really enjoyed this story. The dual narration works well and keeps you thoroughly hooked. There are plenty of twists and turns that are unexpected and the whole story is very well executed. Highly recommend this novel
