The Distance is a pretty interesting and unique tale of an alien “invasion”, for want of a better term. Quite unlike and idea in that genre I’ve read or seen or heard before. The story was well contained, a “one and done”, with all questions answered, and a satisfying story arc. As a reader, I was wondering what was going on, as were the characters, and as the story progressed you are able to get a better idea and make some guesses yourself, and in this case I was overall correct, but was a bit more complicated than I was thinking.
I’m a big fan of Jeremy Robinson’s books, and of Jeffrey Kafer’s narration, and have purchased many audiobooks featuring either of these. Hillaree Robinson and Heather Costa I’m not as familiar with however. I was pretty pleased to receive a free review copy of this new novel, both to hear two known artists I’m a fan of, as well as trying out two more.
The style of the novel as well as the dual narrators assisted the story very well, and unlike a lot of novels where the book is continually flipping from one main character to another, it was pretty easy to follow – assisted even further with the dual narrators. Even with a single narrator I don’t think I’d have had any issues following the story.
A solid enjoyable read.
