MirrorWorld
We'll see what a man without fear can do in this latest thriller from Jeremy Robinson, who's hailed as rivaling "the best of James Rollins, Clive Cussler and Matthew Reilly". (Associated Press)
Crazy has no memory and feels no fear. Dangerous and unpredictable, he’s locked away in SafeHaven, a psychiatric hospital, where he spends the long days watching Wheel of Fortune and wondering what the outside world smells like. When a mysterious visitor arives and offers him a way out Crazy doesn't hesitate to accept.
But outside the hospital Crazy is faced with a world on the brink of nuclear annihilation, and find himself relocated to Neuro Inc., a secretive corporation with strange givernment ties. When he discovers evidence of human experimentation he escapes with a syringe, the contents of which are unknown to him but precious to Neuro. Cornered and with a complete disregard for the results, Crazy makes himself indispensable by injecting the substance into his leg.
As the substance enters his bloodstream, though, his eyes are opened to a world beyond human experience, where fear is a tool and the shadows hide the source of mankind’s nightmares. Struggling to understand his new abilities, Crazy allies himself with the company he fled and begins peeling back the layers of his past, the brewing war between worlds, how he can stop it—and what he did to start it.
With Crazy, Robinson, whose trademarked pacing and inventive plots have been highly praised by bestselling authors like Jonathan Maberry, Scott Sigler and James Rollins, treats readers to a wildly imaginative, frenetically paced thriller exploring the origins of fear.

This was a decent action thriller with some sci-fantasy aspects. It could have been a really good story as the writing was engaging and the characters and story were both intriguing enough at times but I felt like it was held back at times by an over reliance on lengthy mindless action scenes.
The main character Crazy (with a capital C) was an intriguing guy. He has a genetic condition that makes it impossible for him to feel fear and it also limits his impulse control. He is also suffering from amnesia and we join the story as he was recalling the events that got him locked in a mental institution a year previously! Despite his condition making him a bit erratic I felt like he proved a likeable enough lead character despite his flaws.
The story was also quite interesting. Humanity are involved in a hidden battle with the Mirrorworld monsters the Dread. The Dread are creatures that can manipulate the fears of humans. Crazy is offered a way out of his captivity by representatives of Neuro Inc, a company with secret government links. The problem is that Crazy is not too sure how much he can trust the Neuro team as they seem to know more about him than he does himself!
I thought the story was pretty good. The characters and the Dread were all quite interesting. The major flaw of the story was that Robinson let the plot lag a bit as the story often got caught up in overly lengthy monster-bashing scenes. Some monster-bashing would have been fine but too much of it, especially in the middle phase of the story, hurt my enjoyment of this book on the whole.
Rating: 3.5 stars. The dull action scenes really cost this one in the ratings as the rest of what we got was pretty good!
Audio Note: I felt like R.C.Bray did a decent job with the audio.

It starts out well enough. Sets a scenario that takes a bit from Heinlein’s starship troopers mixed with Frank Herbert’s Hellstrom’s Hive and introduces a shadow world that is populated with a menagerie of Doom (video game) like creatures. So far so good, but then there is the protagonist, a superhero goes it alone and killing ‘em all kind of character whose powers are not only unbelievable but in his creation was riddled with inconsistencies.
The idea, or rather the combination of ideas makes for an intriguing package and deserves 3-4 stars, sadly the main character begets a lone star- and I’m not talking about Texas. Howdy 🤠.

What a great ride this story was! I was intrigued by Crazy, the main character, from the start. The multiple dimensions of his world were fascinating and it was fun to go along with him on his journey. The monsters were amazing and creative, as well as absolutely creepy and scary. This story moved quickly and I could not put it down!

At first I enjoyed this book. It started with a bang and kept me interested until about halfway through the book. Then I just got bored. The main character Crazy became dull after the first half of the book. After a point I just didn't care. I kept skipping through the book hoping to find something more interesting about it.

Cool concept for a story! I love the character of Crazy and how he feels no fear, which is an actual genetic disorder called Urbach-Wiethe disease. I also liked the idea that the author had for what makes us afraid, besides the explanations we have today, like demons, ghosts, aliens and such. The story only got a bit bogged down for me with the sometimes lengthy descriptions of the fight scenes, but otherwise I enjoyed the book.

Another great book by Robinson. He truly knows how to write a good action packed thriller. Loved the concept of Mirrorworld and makes me second guess when I feel a chill in the room or when I feel some intense fear for no reason.

I received a copy of Mirrorworld by Jeremy Robinson from Net Galley to read and review. About 25% through I had my first ah-hah moment and from there I could not put the book down. It is a riveting tale about the reaction of humanity to the unknown and one man's mission to set things right. A must read.

I've read most of Mr. Robinson's books and have loved them all. His Last Hunter series holds a very special place in my heart for a variety of reasons. Island 731, however, always held the highest position on his thriller list for it's dark, gritty feel...and sense of dread. How interesting that a book about creatures dubbed the 'Dread" would take it's place as my Number One favorite book of Robinson's thrillers. But it does. Easily.
First of all, the character of Crazy is, hands down, the most intriguing of Robinson's creations, in my opinion. A man without memory or fear from the start of the book. How on earth can an author take a character like that and possible make him likeable? Human even? But Robinson does it and he does it with style. As a matter of fact, Crazy becomes even more interesting as a human the further certain changes in his body go (trying to avoid spoilers there). Plus, he's funny (of course, R.C. Bray's narration might have had something to do with that as well).
But how amazing this story is goes beyond the character of Crazy, or his co-stars in this book. The story itself is just...altogether genius. Not only is it an incredible story with some crazy cool (and brilliant) layers (explanations for ghosts, the Mothman, and monsters of old are given and it makes total sense), but it can't help but make the reader ponder the mystery of fear in all its forms. Ponder how many nuances of our lives are governed by fear. And ponder ways to allow fear to work for us, instead of hindering us in our daily lives. Fear, in many ways, has driven humanity and its advancement far more than ambition ever could, and this story helps to expose the dreaded emotion to the light of day in such a way that it becomes much more palpable...and ultimately, controllable.
Bravo, Mr. Robinson. My favorite of your books so far!

I was pretty sure this was going to be a four star book halfway through, but something happened. The basic plot idea is really neat and creative, with the mysterious mirrorworld just a tiny step away from us. The monsters are unusual and very interesting, and clearly a lot of effort was spent on inventing their world.
But… I never quite connected with any of the characters. Part of the problem is that the main character has no memory of his past for the majority of the book, and once you start learning some of it you are knee deep in painstakingly detailed action scenes making it more or less disappear in the noise.
Yeah, the action scenes. I felt like I was reading Matt Reilly channelling Tom Clancy, what with all the lengthy and detailed descriptions of every move and seemingly every second of a fight. Unfortunately this was basically the last third or so of the book, and I just trudged onwards so I could see how it'd end, but it wasn't a particularly pleasant journey.
Still, Robinson's writing seems to improve with every book, and I will most likely purchase the next one as well. They are generally fun to read, this one just failed to "click" for me though.

Wow this is an action packed trip. Also it led to me getting a bloody nose. All I can say without spoiling it for you, is I was dreaming of a certain part in the book. When in my dream something was occurring and I was frantically trying to stop, then in the real world by boyfriend accidently elbowed me in my sleep, causing my hand to bang my nose, BAM bloody nose. The worst part was not the bloody, but trying to explain why my hand was even near my nose. Read the book, and try not to dream . Enjoy.

This is one of my favourite Jeremy Robinson books, he has such a talent for creating freaky monsters. The characters really connect and drag you along for the ride, some great twists and turns in this book too. For regular Robinson readers you'll find a number of 'Easter eggs' which I'm sure will make you smile. The ending is excellent and ties the book up nicely, while still leaving the option for a series. I'm definitely hoping this isn't the last we've seen of Crazy (with a capital C).
April 28, 2015
Loved it! Loved Crazy too. I personally would like to know what it is to feel no fear. Have to say this book takes some crazy turns. But well worth the read. And as all this authors books go, there are some weird monsters included. But that is what makes it so good. Never expect the same old, same old with Mr. Robinson! I would definitely recommend this read to anyone who likes "crazy" characters and strange happenings.

main character is too strong, crazy as a name gets old fast, too much brainless monster fight... if i want some i'm gonna rewatch pacific rim!
black ops CIA assassin... walk through walls, fearless basically a demigod

This book is such Mr. Robinson's style...greatness! Reading this book was not just a story but a weird (in a good way) journey into another reality that will blow your mind. It just might have you thinking you are crazy with a capital "C".
You would not be able to tell from my comments above that I had reservations about reading this book. This is because when I first picked up this book to start I was not sure about the concept. I am a big fan of Mr. Robinson so I know that he can write but still I thought the concept was too out there for me. Yet as I mentioned above this was more than just a story but one that will blow your mind. It sure had me hooked.

Good, but not great. I enjoyed it right through to the end, however was glad it was over.
Also, I got the impression that the author thinks that a Desert Eagle .50 cal fires the same round as a .50 cal machine gun, and that is no where near the case. The Desert Eagle fires a much, much lighter bullet, and isn't even the most powerful handgun, let alone firing the machine gun round that is well over 5 inches long. Ya, I know. Almost nobody cares. It's just that stuff like that drops me out of the story -- background research matters when you write about current day tech.

Realities clash in MirrorWorld. It's man vs monster with nothing less than the fate of the world at stake in this nonstop page turner. When creatures from a neighboring dimension uses fear as a weapon against the people of our world, only a crazy man stands between us and nuclear annihilation. In fact, that's his name: Crazy.
This is another must-read Jeremy Robinson adventure.

I LOVED this book. I'm a huge fan of Jeremy Robinson and have read all his books, and once again he has surprised me. He has a knack to take ideas or unexplained phenomenon and give it life. I was captivated by Crazy and the Dread and went along for the ride and enjoyed it immensely, though now I will always think of the Dread when I feel like something is there or experience unknown fear :)
April 20, 2018
Just didn't care for this one. It was a bit predictable and relied heavily on tropes. I found myself struggling to pay attention. The narrator was ok but didn't seem to fit the style of the book well. I also didn't care for the first person view. I had no way to relate or at least understand Crazy's perspective (which changed and had no real consequence).
April 2, 2015
It took me a bit to figure what was going on.When it came together,the book got very exciting for me. Crazy is an excellent hero and following him and his discoveries makes a book you just can't put down!
March 13, 2018
I really enjoyed this book and I will definitely be looking into more books by Jeremy Robinson. This book is very Lovecraftian. If you like Lovecraft or Peter Clines then I would highly recommend MirrorWorld. This definitely had the same feel as 14 by Peter Clines, which I loved. So if you like weird Sci-fi then you should definitely read this.
February 27, 2018
It's an alright book, but the quality goes WAAAAY down around chapters 33-53. The story gets a lot of stupidly long action scenes that drag out, and the MC loses the one thing that makes him not just any other military guy, really detracts from the quality for me.
January 5, 2016
Not bad, first person narrative stream of action. I am now discovering with crazy what lies beyond the veil. He has access what lies beyond through them Injection took from the secretive Science Foundation, Neuro. Time to see how he deals and what he finds.
Suspense builds and crests to keep me turning the pages, on this book, especially between chapters. The characters are solid enough, mostly built around Crazy and his narrative. The violence, sad to say continues all the way through. Our hero Crazy manages to take it to a tale of redemption with humorous overtones to pop culture themes one being the Star Wars character relationships. There seem to be these fading metaphorical elements that place violence against popular societal fairy tales, such as Pinnochio. I felt it denigrated the characters of the book, who given their life experience may be concerned with more than pop culture. This is either a cheap attempt to achieve some metaphorical meaning or an outlash at the nonsensical mental pudginess of living in unchecked fairy tales. Either approach to metaphor fits in with the broad scope of the fiends and friends that work and battle with Crazy. In the end, in a classic New Hampshire way, Freedom has its responsibility. This character Crazy has the reach to keep his freedom which he realizes when he puts to rest his demons.
Strange sexual innuendo's get pulled onto the scene with lumbering asexual metaphors of male body during one of the last battles. It fits well with the devastation and male energy, similar to a Mailer, Norman Norman Mailer book of ancient Egyptian warriors Ancient Evenings.
I'm glad I read this book, and from the diversity of characters, and fun science tales, I lost no time tearing right through it.

I'll be short and sweet here: I struggled with this one.
I always try to play the devil's advocate, or at least give the author the benefit of the doubt, saying that being a fan of an author means that sometimes you have to put up with sub-par offerings, but man, MirrorWorld was a tough book to get through.
Robinson is no stranger to wild and crazy ideas, and MirrorWorld is the perfect example of his creative madness run amok. The original concepts and creature designs are some of his best and trying to explain why we get random chills or the unexplained fear that someone is watching us actually made sense. And of course it wouldn't be a Robinson novel without signature blend of violence and rip roaring action.
The problem with MirrorWorld though is a problem that seems to plague a lot of books. Great ideas and concepts in theory, but in actuality, once they're attempted to be made into a story, they fail. I already said that most of what Robinson tries to explain here works, the problem is that it takes forever to get there. Too much explaining and confusing narrative make the book move along at a slow pace. The somewhat non-linear narrative is also a bit jarring. Sure, as the book nears its conclusion, things start to come together but like Momento we have to almost start at the ending for the beginning to make sense. I'm all for new literary devices (although amnesia/memory loss and the eventual regaining of said memory is far from "new") but I feel this ploy works better through a visual medium, rather than a written one. In that sense, there is no doubt that MirrorWorld would make for a great film, or at least an original screen play.

Jeremy Robinson has once again written a fantastic story of good vs evil, but has, in his own inimitable way, left us wondering which side is which. Stereotypes are thrown out the window, and we are soon pondering just who are the monsters.
This next bit could be considered spoilery, so ignore the parts between the asterisks
*****SPOILERS MAYBE*****
Given the actions of some characters, I am once again flabbergasted at the pure self-centredness of the human race, to think that we have total dominion of the planet, and (in this case) of the "mirror worlds"that exist on said planet. What gives humans the right to think that our survival is more important than that of any other species?
I also have to add that the ability that Crazy has to shift between worlds makes for an amazing fight scene, which would be visually out of this world. I would love to see this made into a movie (done right, of course).
*****END OF SPOILERS*****
I'm not sure whether it was intentional, but I felt there were a few Biblical references and allusions that I thought were well-placed. So, all in all, MirrorWorld is a great action-packed thrill ride of a book and I'm hoping it will lead to some sequels.

Mirrorworld by Jeremy Robinson is a fast action, stop the coming apocalypse, save the world story.
Our hero, “Crazy”, doesn’t know who he is. “Crazy” has lots of fighting skills that appear to be muscle memory. He has no natural fear so he just jumps in to take care of situations without hesitation. This lack of fear causes any number of issues. He finds himself locked up in a psych hospital. One day a woman helps him break out. He finds the world gone mad while he spent a year in the hospital. A company called Neuro wants his help to try to stop what is making people across the world become raging mobs.
The story discusses string theory to explain an alternate earth that exists in the same space as our earth. This earth is dark and has strange creatures. The creatures have something to do with the mobs forming around the world.
Fast action, interesting characters, and a different world kept me reading. I truly could not put the book down. This would be a good book for someone who likes science, creatures, and fast action with lots of weapons. A good read for young readers as well as adults.
(I received a free copy from the author to review.)

Jeremy Robinson has once again proven why he is one of my favorite writers! MirrorWorld is a fantastic book. Full of so much action and suspense, I couldn't put it down. I loved the character of Crazy, a bad-ass hero with a strong sense of right and wrong just trying to save those he loves and the rest of the world along the way. I wanted more Crazy as soon as I turned the final page! The monsters (human and not so human) in this thriller were unique and terrifying.The storyline was fast paced and exciting, the summer blockbuster of novels. If you want a great summer read grab this 5 star book!
April 29, 2015
Mirrorworld, by Jeremy Robinson, is a fantastic new standalone story (no relation to SecondWorld by Robinson, which is also good), written by an author who loves what he does. Crazy is an intricate character, and between him, the storyline with it's plot devices, and the in-your-face thrills, chills and action, I was caught off guard by how I was drawn deeper into the tale. This book was a mystery and a sci-fi/action thriller with a sprinkling of horror all-in-one. You should really check it out!

I left reality behind! It is rare to find a book that keeps amazing you. I have read several of Jeremy Robinson's novels but this is the best so far. No spoiler here, just my reaction. Just set aside enough time to gulp this down. Unfortunately, I was very busy with other things and resented every intrusion into my binge of MirrorWorld. Read this if you are intrigued by suspense, love your friends and family and want to feel AFRAID.

So I have finally read a novel by Jeremy Robinson that I wasn't all that thrilled with. Took me a month to get through it whereas many of his other books I read in days simply because they were riveting. This one wasn't riveting. It was ok, but rather slow, cumbersome and just not very interesting. I'm sure others may like it, but the plot to me really didn't have any "holy cow" moments like most of his other novels do.
