INFINITY'S REACH IS SURE TO GRAB READERS
Infinity's Reach Is Sure To Grab Reader
Glen Robinson’s Infinity’s Reach tells a post-apocalyptic tale in the United States in the aftermath of The Event. Readers follow the life of a young Infinity (Finn) Richards and her friends Ellie, Kimmy and Marcie at a resort among cute boy toy waiters relaxing, eating and drinking.
But something’s not right. In the near distance, Infinity first then her friends notice a guy in military fatigues who holds a series of signs for their eyes only. One reads, ‘IT’S NOT A RESORT.' If that doesn’t set them on edge, the stranger exposes another one: ‘I CAN HELP YOU ESCAPE.’
Once the ladies think on the recent events and how they arrived at the resort, they struggle with the recall. Their memories fade in and out from their survival of a downed helicopter at a private Catholic school, the ‘resort’ pool which turns into nasty green pond scum, the hot waiters change into pot-bellied older men and military soldiers. Oops. What happened?
So begins the journey of several POV characters and their stories in Infinity’s Reach, which to me works as a non-risque double entendre. Infinity or Finn is very important. She’s a target for many opponents. But, who and why?
Robinson keeps the story fluid between the present and the past via other characters aside from Finn’s friends for those answers. Evangelist, Mack Hawley, Damien, Dr. Wiseman, General Apollyon, General Despair, Ajax, Flo, and others tie into the new chaotic, wild, wild, former United States of America.
Robinson blends these characters’ stories with steady movements of action, suspense, and surprises throughout the story. The novel’s short and zips along at a steady and rising clip so readers don’t get to relax for long and that’s good craft. A few late surprises tie off subplots in quick fashion. Those who deserve more comeuppance don’t get it and that disappoints a tad, but only a tad.
It’s funny though, and this coincidence isn’t a knock. Infinity’s Reach is a back-to-back post-apocalyptic read for me and it’s like, where’s the optimism? Can’t we all sing kumbaya? LOL! I understand where we are in history and I don’t put my head in the sand to ignore life’s issues near and far. Ironically, kumbaya’s slant use often encompasses a cynical tone just the opposite of what it means. Humph. Kumbaya? I think that’s Infinity’s Reach with a touch of another double entendre without the risque element.
