I read a lot of YA books which tend to fall into the paranormal/fantasy, SF, and dystopian genres, and a few stragglers. And I enjoy them, some immensely. But they don't give me that thrill. That rush of adrenaline, which I had been missing. Then I picked up Jeremy Robinson's latest thriller. He writes like James Rollins and Matt Reilly - somewhat improbable plot, improbable feats of derring-do, etc. But they are fun and enjoyable, and they all do well in bringing people to life. And that was th

Ex-Navy Seal turned NCIS agent, Lincoln Miller has been tasked to check out the Aquarius underwater facility in the Florida Keys. Lincoln notices something strange. The sky is blazing red with red specks falling from the sky. Fish are dying Lincoln makes it to land, only to learn that an attack has been launched on the world. Someone has depleted the world of oxygen. With the lack of oxygen, people are also dying and the specks falling from the sky is all that is left of civilization. Miller mus

I started this on Playaway and I had to turn it off because of the disturbing scene at the beginning. I got the print copy and I'm so glad I picked this up again, because this book rocked!
Warning: If you hate Nazis, you will either love this book, or you will find your hatred for Nazis inflamed to even higher levels. The Nazis (and all their modern counterparts) seriously suck (which is putting it lightly) and inspired many violent thoughts in my head as I was reading. I think that this book mig ...more

Attention, Clevelanders -- Miami is DESTROYED in this book! Not the Heat basketball team, the ENTIRE CITY! LeBron James won't be winning any NBA championships after Navy SEAL Lincoln Miller saves the world and cleans up the mess resurrected Nazis create in this world.

Lincoln Miller is an ex Navy Seal who can take care of himself in any situation. This story takes him all over the world, and the precarious situations he finds himself in will leave you breathless. Very fast-paced story with great character interaction!
I loved this book from the first page to the last.
It is a rip-roaring, heart-pounding adventure and one of the best books I have read in recent times.
If you love high adventure and haven't yet discovered Jeremy Robinson, do yourself a favor and read this.
I can't wait to read more about Lincoln Miller, he is giving King and the Chess Team a run for the money.

I have often times wondered what would happen if James Rollins and Matt Reilly somehow managed to team up and pen a new thriller. Two of the penultimate (and two of my all-time favorite) thriller authors, combining their respective talents. The result would be nothing short of marvelous! Now, I know that's more of a self-professed book nerd's wet dream. The chances of something as fantastic as that are most likely never to happen.

The thriller "Second World", by Jeremy Robinson, had a very intense and exciting plot that kept me on the edge of my seat from cover to cover. If you like science, fights and excitement, I strongly suggest you read this. Once you meet the main character the story starts to become about survival in an oxygen deprived, horrific version of Miami but it quickly took a turn. Personally I think it should have remained about survival but the novel was great either way. You quickly become attached to A

I'll be honest - parts of this book are (unintentionally?) hilarious. No spoilers, but the final scene is so over the top that I have to think that Robinson is in on the fun as well. But I look past all that because this is an incredible concept with delicious sci-fi inspired action that is just close enough to reality to be great. Five stars.
SO MUCH FUN!
This book was exactly what I needed. If you love movies like Die Hard, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Con Air, then this book is for you. The action never stops and the short chapters keep the story racing. I will definitely be reading more from this author!

I won a copy of this book through First Reads.
One of the best books that I've read all year! The plot was absolutely refreshing, the characters were fantastic and action scenes kept me on my toes until the very end. Great read!

The beginning was 5 stars, but once the hero is out of immediate danger, it got boring and bogged down with history and explanations . So I just skipped to the end to see what happened.
Loved this thriller, absolutely loved it - I could barely control the pages flying through my fingers. One of the most enjoyable reads I've had this year so far. Review to come on FWN.
There's nothing quite like a fast paced thriller to keep the blood pumping. Well, except perhaps a double shot of espresso washing down a hit of speed after an eightball. I think reading might be easier on the heart, though.
Jeremy Robinson's Secondworld has probably one of the more suspenseful openings I've read in a while. His hero, Lincoln Miller, is stuck underwater with no air left, only to surface and find no air to breath thanks to some mysterious red flakes soaking up the oxygen. If the l ...more

Makes you think & frightens you......an amazing read!!!
This was an incredibly great thriller!! If you enjoy the Jack Reacher books or books by James Rollins, this is a must read! The hero is a former Navy Seal turned NCIS agent - need I say more? The well-written action sequences in this book are fabulous and non-stop, and be warned - you won't be able to put this book down because you'll be dying to see what happens next!

SecondWorld by Jeremy Robinson is a Nazi horror tale with some awesome action scenes and an interesting and unique plot that grabbed my attention and held it all the way through.
There was a bit of predictability, but I think that comes with the territory when one writes a good vs. Nazi's story. Still, there were even more surprises that outweighed any Nazi predictability.
All-in-all, this book is very cool. I really loved it! Give it a read, why don't you? Then read the shorter after story, I A ...more

This book was en route to being a solid 3 star, maybe 4 star book. The opening is very strong, and momentum was maintained for a good portion of the book.

Jeremy Robinson has once again, reached into his story-telling hat and pulled out a winning premise and the perfect protagonist to bring it to life.
Lincoln Miller is an ex-Navy SEAL who is now an NCIS special agent. He is sent to an underwater research station to investigate reports of ocean dumping, But, what Miller finds instead, are strange red flakes falling from the sky, millions of dead or dying sea creatures, and most importantly, no oxygen at the surface.

Mr. Robinson has blown me away yet again! I really enjoyed this book. Very fast paced, action packed, some history in the mix, and always the question left wondering "what if". It actually had me looking into some specific historical notes on WW II.
The Characters were very strong, exciting, and never willing to give up. I felt like they actually really cared what they were doing and what each of them standed for. Lic Miller was very driven trying to do the right thing believing in his SEALS trai ...more

Nazis. So brilliant, so effective, so incomparably evil.
What’s not to like?
Action thriller master Jeremy Robinson exploits all the obvious advantages of these classic villains in his new novel SecondWorld. No, SecondWorld is not set in the past. You thought Hitler was defeated? Think again. Those German fiends have had decades to bring their biggest plan to fruition. Why would someone want to kill 99.9% of all the humans on earth? Because they’re Nazis, of course. How ...more

Picture this: red flakes fall from the sky that taste like blood on your tongue, looting breaks out in your neighborhood, you get a pounding headache; soon enough, you can't breathe at all. All of the oxygen is gone. You die a painful suffocating death.

This was a surprisingly good book. It follows much in the vein of how James Rollins writes: prologue some years ago establishing a technology or secret, then followed by present day adventure and globe trotting. The science all sounded plausible, which is always good: iron falls through the earth's atmosphere sucking up the oxygen, while at the same time causing iron poisoning to the inhabitants. The bad guys are, of course, Nazis...because what other people would like to eradicate the general p
