It is dark, fast-paced, apocalyptic craziness from beginning to end. I don’t think I’ve ever written a book so madly fast-paced, and that’s saying a lot since I’m kind of known for writing fast books. Basically, I’m saying you’ll like it. Here’s the summary, nice things people have said about the book and links to buy it (if you don’t feel like running to the bookstore).
**Breaking News: Just now, right before I hit send on this bad boy, I found out that the Washington Post posted this review for SecondWorld. Amazing!
Summary:
Lincoln Miller, an ex-Navy SEAL turned NCIS Special Agent is sent to Aquarius, the world’s only sub-oceanic research facility located off the Florida Keys, to investigate reports of ocean dumping. A week into his stay, strange red flakes descend from the surface. Scores of fish are dead and dying, poisoned by the debris that turns to powder in Miller’s fingers and tastes like blood.
Miller heads for the surface, ready to fight whoever is polluting on his watch. But he finds nothing. No ships. No polluters.
No oxygen.
Instead, he finds a cloudless sky full of red particles dropping like snow and coating the ocean with a thick film that stretches to the horizon. When a dead blue whale collides with Aquarius, Miller begins a harrowing race to escape the affected area. Cut off from the rest of the world and surrounded by death, Miller makes his way to Miami where he discovers just one survivor, and the awful truth: the strange phenomenon that robbed the air of its life giving oxygen was an attack by an enemy reborn from the ashes of World War II. And they’re just getting started. Miami, Tel Aviv, and Tokyo have all been destroyed. Millions are dead.
And if Miller can’t track down and stop those responsible in seven days, the rest of the world is next.
Endorsements:
“SecondWorld is far from second best. Jeremy Robinson’s latest thriller is massive in scope and brilliantly apocalyptic. Here is a feat of storytelling that shocks as much as it exhilarates.”
– James Rollins
” [SecondWorld] is gripping, propelled by expertly controlled pacing and lively characters. Robinson’s punchy prose style will appeal to fans of Matthew Reilly’s fast-paced, bigger-than-life thrillers, but this is in no way a knockoff. It’s a fresh and satisfying thriller that should bring its author plenty of new fans.”
– Booklist
“A brisk thriller with neatly timed action sequences, snappy dialogue and the ultimate sympathetic figure in a badly burned little girl with a fighting spirit… The Nazis are determined to have the last gruesome laugh in this efficient doomsday thriller.”
– Kirkus Reviews
” Relentless pacing and numerous plot twists drive this compelling stand-alone from Robinson… Thriller fans and apocalyptic fiction aficionados alike will find this audaciously plotted novel enormously satisfying.”
–Publisher’s Weekly
“Another crisply plotted tale from the fertile imagination of Jeremy Robinson. This one has it all, frozen Nazis, UFO crashes, Antarctica, and some really cool science. Plan to hunker down for an all nighter with this one. I did.”
–Steve Berry, NY Times bestselling author of THE JEFFERSON KEY
“The year 2012 is synonymous with Doomsday, but what if the cause of the chaos to come was. . .Adolf Hitler? Read SecondWorld, a new treat from Jeremy Robinson.”
–Steve Alten, NY Times bestselling author of MEG & GRIM REAPER: End of Days
“A harrowing, edge of your seat thriller told by a master storyteller, Jeremy Robinson’s Secondworld is an amazing, globetrotting tale that will truly leave breathless.”
– Richard Doestch, international bestselling author of HALF-PAST DAWN
“Robinson blends myth, science and terminal velocity action like no one else.”
– Scott Sigler, NY Times Bestselling author of INFECTED and ANSCESTOR
Jeremy, just finished SecondWorld. Loved it. I really got a kick of of the Tolien/LOTR references as LOVED the movies (have to read the books someday
. I thought it was awesome how you weaved the past into the (theoretical) future. I don’t want to say much about the book here just in case someone who hasn’t read the book reads these comments and it becomes a spoiler 
. Anyhow, loved the characters and the story. Any chance we will be hearing from Lincoln in the future?

Comment by Chalie W — May 26, 2012 @ 1:56 pm
Thanks Charlie! As for Lincoln, I have nothing planned at the moment. If there was a demand for it, I would consider it, but series are hard to write after a few books. All the details are hard to remember book after book, at least it is when you’re writing four other novels a year. I’ve been doing so many series that I found the stand alone story very freeing. Didn’t have to worry about all those details I might have made up on the spot three books earlier.
But it’s possible. Glad you enjoyed it! Be sure to post a review!!

Hi I was on chapters.indigo.ca (Canadian bookstore) and I’ve found 2 books; Mission Hydra and Code Delta. Are they yours??
Comment by Jenny — May 29, 2012 @ 9:43 pm
Hi Jenny,
Those are my books BUT they are in German!! So don’t buy them. Mission Hydra is Pulse and Code Delta is Instinct.
Comment by Jeremy Robinson — May 29, 2012 @ 10:03 pm
Just bought it. Had to change my country settings to USA in order to retrieve it on my Kindle. But now I going to enjoy it!
Comment by Sander Duivestein — May 30, 2012 @ 6:55 am
Nice. Appreciate the extra effort!
Comment by Jeremy Robinson — May 30, 2012 @ 9:59 am
Jeremy,
In reference to your comment about series being difficult to maintain due to remembering all of the details, is that a veiled “warning” that the Chess Team adventures may come to an end in the near future?
Comment by Shannon — June 4, 2012 @ 5:53 pm
Heh, we’ll see. There will be at least one more novel after Ragnarok that wraps up a lot of the big story lines that have been running and growing since PULSE. Might take a break after that, or perhaps let someone else take the reigns (fully). Or maybe just start with a clean slate. There are a lot of possibilities. But the books planned so far take us up to 2014, and that’s thinking far enough ahead for me at this point.
Comment by Jeremy Robinson — June 4, 2012 @ 9:31 pm
Hey man, I just finished this book; if this book were a meal, you’d be Wolfgang Puck. And while I pride myself in being a voracious reader, I normally never finish a book within a few hours. With this one, I did.
Although, one TINY thing; F-22s are not used by the Navy, nor are they capable of being launched from an aircraft carrier.
But apart from that, masterpiece, sir. Keep up the good work, you’ve made a fan out of me.
Comment by Kyle — June 7, 2012 @ 9:23 am
Awesome. Glad you enjoyed it! Kicking myself about the F-22s. I’m usually careful about that kind of stuff. Of course, it’s also possible I decided that flying bells from WWII was even more of a stretch, so why not put F-22s on an aircraft carrier.
I do believe you’re the first person to use the word “masterpiece” in describing any of my books, so thanks!!

Wow. Been quite a while since I last read an entire book in pretty much one sitting on my Kobo e-reader. I usually only read when I have some quiet time between orders, but this time I set any orders aside for the next day so I could finish this book, lol. SecondWorld made me want more, so I bought the entire Chess Team series including the novellas and all I can say is: MORE!! I like the blend of myth and fact in your books.
Hopefully you will do another Chess Team novel and continue the adventures of Lincoln Miller in another book.
Comment by Bill — June 8, 2012 @ 1:19 am
Haha, no problem. I’m just an avid weapons and aviation enthusiast and in the Air Force. The combination of the three usually has me subconsciously scouting for errors anytime I read books of this caliber (pun fully intended). Although, something I forgot to mention in my last comment: now every time I watch a cowboy movie, I keep expecting them to break out speaking Czech lol.
Comment by Kyle — June 8, 2012 @ 7:35 pm
Wow indeed! Thrilled you enjoyed SecondWorld and that you dove into the Chess Team as well. The next Chess Team novel, Ragnarok, comes out on October 23. As for Lincoln. We’ll see. I’m getting that request a lot these days.
Comment by Jeremy Robinson — June 11, 2012 @ 9:20 am
Jeremy, SecondWorld was another great book. I want to echo what you’ve been hearing from others (I also mentioned something similar in my review on Amazon)- Lincoln deserves another book. He’s a great character. How about him making a cameo in a future Jack Sigler novel??
Comment by Watsondrums — June 19, 2012 @ 9:39 pm
Just finished this less than 4 minutes ago. LOVED IT! Trying to compose my thoughts to be able to give it the review it deserves but wanted to stop by and say thank you for an amazing read. Looking forward to many more, now that I’ve found you. You’ve sailed to the top of my ‘auto-buy’ list with this one!
Oh, and Cowboy made it onto my favourite character list.
Love him!
Comment by Silver Thistle — June 21, 2012 @ 5:01 pm
Glad you enjoyed it! I’m considering future books for the characters. Might do a Cowboy novella, too. But it will be a while before I get to it. Lots of books already scheduled! Thanks for reading!
Comment by Jeremy Robinson — June 22, 2012 @ 9:51 am
Glad you liked the book! Cowboy has certainly become a fan favorite (and is one of my favorites, as well). I think we’ll see more of him. And thanks for posting reviews. They’re an immense help!

Jeremy,
Can you give us a quick update of the summer releases? Looking forward to the Book 4 of Antarktos series..
Chuck
Comment by Chuck Autrey — July 5, 2012 @ 3:35 pm
Hey Chuck, The Last Hunter – Lament (book 4) should be out in the next 10 days. Got delayed by Ragnarok edits. And Ragnarok comes out October 23. Then The Last Hunter (book 5) after that and possibly The Raven, the sequel to The Sentinel. But that one is coming out from a publisher now, so I’m not 100% certain on a release date. So, 4 more releases by the end of the year.
Comment by Jeremy Robinson — July 5, 2012 @ 11:19 pm
I thought the your book was good. The Raptor mistake plus the fact that John Wayne was 6’4″ and weighed 225 pounds, played as a lineman for USC, and so no small sets had to be made for him were disappointing. Maybe, you were thinking about Alan Ladd who played “SHANE” who was very short often stood on a platform. These are the small things that take a book from good to great. It says the author did his homework!
Comment by Richard Loging — October 16, 2012 @ 12:43 pm
Hey Richard, glad you enjoyed the book! I’ll give you the raptor mistake, but the John Wayne error came from misinformation given on the Universal Studios tour! After some research, I have since discovered that Wayne might have actually been 6’1″ but did wear lifts to make himself look 6’4″. And they DID make the sets smaller, and the doors short, to make him look even taller. Apparently, he was concerned about his height. So all this led several different tour guides (I went there a lot when I lived in LA) to believe he was actually short, rather than tall and wanting to look taller. Oh well, can’t get everything right!
