The Border

Holy cow what a surprise. This may be one of my favorites this week although part of the reason is because the narrator for the audiobook did such a great job with the voices. I'm also a huge fan of Sci-fi horror so this is right up my alley. I would call this a love child of Dead Space, Presidents Day, and The Last Of Us.

You have a boy who wakes up with amnesia in the middle of an alien war, but they're not there to attack humans per say. There are 2 different races fighting over Earth because their border line goes through the center of our world. They have annihilated most of the humans but this boy, who doesn't know who he is, has special powers that could save all humanity but he doesn't know how, he just knows there is a voice in his head guiding him.

The world-building and supporting cast of this book is wonderful and Robert's prose is perfect. Two five star reviews in a row for this author, making him a must read going forward.
