The Gateway Project was going to save our world by opening up a doorway to infinite versions of our planet. But the threshold has gone completely out of control, sending all those other Earths onto a collision course with ours. Now, our reality is cracking apart.

Abby Corman did not open the Gateway, but she is the only one who knows how to close it. But an alien Hunter and her pack of deadly hellcats have stepped into our world, and they will stop at nothing to kill Abby. Because in a universe of parallel worlds, one Earth’s savior can be the worst criminal other Earths have ever known.

Bewilderness: What Rough Beast continues the gripping tale of science fiction horror as two women - one human, one alien - battle each other to save infinity.

Scifi that makes you imagine the possibilities and go beyond the author into one's own realms of imagination.
Narration is amazing , my only issue was hearing narrator go into Jessica Rabbit voice for a couple of characters which I found drew away from the story. I will be searching for more books narrated by Shayna S

So much more then a short story!

On the plus side: interesting twist of a well-known sci-fi storyline, talented writer. However... the level of stereotyping and simplicity of characters lets the story down: the bad guys are all one-dimensional, narcissistic, blond, blue-eyed villains (think "James Bond villain meets bunch of Indiana Jones antagonists from World War II") and the good ones are all loving, selfless, culturally diverse heroes whose only problem is that they are too good to be true. Nothing grey here, everything neatly painted in black and white and so the story never rings true and the end is predictable.

The narrator sticks to the one-dimensional concepts of the characters as well, even going a bit overboard. For example: just because a character has a Spanish or Indian name, is it necessary to go for the "Homer Simpson's Apu" approach of over-the-top ethnic dialects?

Despite all this, the story did have the potential to entertain. The most disappointing thing is that it could have been so much better. A little less stereotyping, a little less one-dimensional character choices would have gone a long way. (Books one to three don't feel like individual books in a series. More like three chapters of a single book.)
