New York Times bestselling author Jeremy Robinson takes readers 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.

What is reality? Are we real, or are we a simulation, a construct of someone else's reality? This is the theme that Jeremy Robinson explores in his newest action-packed novel, NPC. Told from the perspective of two very different characters, whose lives quickly become intertwined, NPC delves into the nature of our reality, in this mind-blowing technological thriller. While NPC is fast-paced right from the start, and keeps you turning the pages to see what will happen next, it is also quite deep, and explores ideas which really make you think, long after you've finished the last page.
While NPC may not be my favourite of Jeremy Robinson's books (I have read quite a lot of his books over the years), I really enjoyed it, and found it hard to put down. He is a fantastic writer, and really draws you into the story and the characters. NPC is a fun and exciting read which will blow your mind, and perhaps, even just a little, make you question your own reality.
Note: I was given an ARC of NPC in return for a fair, unbiased, honest review.
Jeremy Robinson never fails to entertain and this book is no different in that regard.
If you like books that make you think this is the book for you. It's not going to be to everyone's taste but what book is? I really enjoyed it. It kept me guessing throughout. Jeremy is known for his action and although this does have that, it's not what some readers will expect. When I heard he was doing a serial killer story, I was both excited and apprehensive, but I should know by now that nothing is as it seems when it comes to Jeremy's mind, and he never fails to hook me. His writing is addictive and keeps you turning the page and thinking long after you've finished. Jeremy has some of the most interesting characters and storylines. I've yet to meet a Jeremy book that doesn't blow me away. Once I started reading/ listening it was hard to pull myself away. I devoured it.
Knowing that RC Bray and Jeffrey Kafer were narrating this book made it an instant purchase for me. They both have very distinctive voices, yet complemented each other really well. The book is performed in dual narration which gives this book another layer of awesomeness. Reading this story was great, listening to it was another experience entirely. I vote for more #Brayfer narrated books.
Robinson Is Back With Another Mindbender. In this book, The Modern Day Master of Science Fiction creates yet another absolute breakneck thriller that also happens to be one of the most mind-bending books of his career, right up there with ALTER and INFINITE. It also is one of the few books at this “more developed” stage of his career where he openly wrestles with religious and philosophical issues, and indeed the very debate between our two primary characters on these topics is some of the most intense and intriguing bits of the book. Still, for those who want to gloss over the philosophy and focus on the action, there is still quite a bit of that here as well, and indeed the debates often happen in the middle of the intense action. (Think: Brian and Dom having a debate about the nature of reality while in the middle of the airplane chase scene at the end of Fast 6.) There are numerous reasons I call Robinson “The Modern Day Master of Science Fiction”, and this book just adds to them. Very much recommended.
