About this listen

Welcome children of Earth, do not be afraid.

After a devastating car crash leaves her addicted to pain pills and her best friend dead, Meredith Gale has finally been pushed beyond her breaking point. Now, ending her life seems like the only way out, and that choice has left her dangling by her fingertips from a bridge high above the freezing water of the San Francisco Bay. But someone, or something, has other plans for Meredith. As her fingers slip from the cold steel of the bridge, a disembodied voice asks her a simple question: “Candidate 13: Do you wish to be saved?”

Realizing her mistake too late, Meredith screams “Yes!” and instantly finds herself transported to a mysterious island, alongside hundreds of other Candidates like her, each pulled from human history with seemingly little in common. But when Meredith stumbles across a cryptic message meant only for her, she uncovers an even bigger mystery - a mystery that places the fate of humanity’s future firmly in her hands.

With the help of her new companions, Meredith sets out on an impossible journey to find the one person who can solve the riddle of why they were brought to this strange, alien Earth...assuming they can survive the dangers that lurk within this new world and the dark forces massing against them.

Check out the first audiobook in the This Alien Earth Series, a futuristic adventure perfect for fans of Jeremy Robinson, Stephen King, and Lost.

Critic reviews

"A stunning sci-fi gem. The Path Between Worlds delivers a mind bending, exquisitely crafted start to a saga unlike anything you've read before." (Steven Konkoly, USA Today best-selling author of the Perseid Collapse series)

"Fresh, original and highly imaginative. I loved it." (RR Haywood, Washington Post best-selling author of Extracted)

Normally, I listen to audiobooks with one ear (usually as more of a distraction as I work). But this book tore my attention away from my PC and held it firm.

I wasn’t too sure about the narrators voice as Meredith as I listened to the first 5 minutes of the book. Their tone felt a little too droll. But as I kept listening (and the Meredith character became fleshed out), I actually now think the tone fits her personality perfectly.

I have only listened to the first 3.5 hours so far (all in one sitting) of this mega-eleven plus hours long book. But I just had to leave a review right away!

If you want to read a sci-fi book that takes you down a crazy rabbit hole of twists and turns, Get This Book!

Wow, this book is a lot of fun to listen to!

This is “part one” at best, so I’m a little disappointed that this book didn’t really have an ending. It’s like like a Dennis E Taylor, Arthur C Clarke, Isaac Asimov, or Peter Clines book - which are complete stories set in a Universe that compels you to explore that Universe further through more stories. This is clearly an incomplete part of a larger story.
The characterisations and pretty simple and very stereotypical, almost comic like. The performance and the accents are “interesting” but I quickly got over it and the performance was alright. I might give the second book a go once I’ve finished with all of the other available Sci-Fi...

It’s not a complete book!

A great and imaginative story which was enjoyable all the way through. the characters were interesting and relatable and you are left with a genuine interest in them.
The narrator was extent skilled and it was a joy to listen to her.

A well written story performed with skill

Really interesting story idea! It was a good listen/read overall. However, the main character comes off more like a 15 year old (which if she were supposed to be that age, I could understand her better). The description of her addiction and the whole addiction aspect comes across more as someone who has read about addiction and then tries to write it in. It’s not very believable....she obviously has not been in as much of an addiction as she claims to be. It’s like if someone read about cars and then tried to write their car loving character’s experience of driving a car. Other than that it’s a great story!

Great Story

On the day that the life support of drug addicted Meredith's best friend is turned off, she prepares to die. But, beyond the point of no return, she realizes she has made a mistake, she wants to live. The a voice seems to offer salvation - All she has to do is say yes.
She does, and wakes up somewhere strange and frightening, other people there, as well, all of them struggling not to drown. And the story begins ...
And what a story it is, a thriller, and adventure, unknown fears to be faced, New friends to learn to trust, a facing of good and evil, a confrontation of ethical behaviours, technologies beyond any known possibilities from her world, a magical aurora which comes at the end of day, and the questions always of how, why, where, who and why me?

The book is simply but brilliantly written by P.A.Jones who mixes adventure and confrontation with new world creation and mysteries, together with on going character development. Good in the first person from Meredith's perspective, her emotional fears and speculations are there for the reader to feel for themselves as everything unfolds. Narrator Kate Reading also gives an admirable performance, conveying her subject's internal confusions as well as giving individual voice to all of the other protagonists stranded with her in their nightmare circumstance.

An interesting and unusual plot line, this is the first of a new series which promises much for the future. My thanks to the rights holder of The Paths Between Worlds, who, at my request, generously and freely gifted me a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. It was an unexpected delight.
Highly recommended especially for anyone looking for something a little but different.

I am just an ordinary woman.

I decided to give this a go while I wait for some of my favourite authors to release new titles. I felt it was a good listen, worth giving it a go. The story was good and the narrator was good too but nice I got used to her voice as it did sound a little robotic initially

Not a bad listen.

I’m incredibly impressed with how the plot of this book is developed. Excellent writing, with very good descriptions of the setting/world, really clever dialog, and observations about humanity that remind me of the wit of the really great authors and entertainers.

I love books that make me reflect on morality/ethics and this does that.

I also found the characters engaging and well developed. The pace is great and maintains throughout the book. I loved the idea on reading the synopsis of the book which is that different people from different times in history are thrown together. That’s a cool idea and makes for a great story!

It evoked excitement and sadness in me and I think that in itself shows it was a great book.

It wraps up nicely in that I didn’t feel that I had to wait for the next book but it also made we want to read the story in what I hope to see as the next book. Which is also important to me as I hate it when books only seem to set themselves up for the next without giving me an ending.

I enjoyed it from start to finish.

The narration is great for the style of the book and the characters are brought to life by the narrator.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review

Incredibly fast-paced & filled with suspense
