How far would you go to save the human species?
Heart to blood, muscle to bone, tourist flesh above my own. It’s the bridgers’ directive: risk your own life to save tourists bridging to alternate worlds. Bridger Infinity Fowler has no qualms about the directive. Risking death is just what bridgers do. But now the earth is dying. Bridgers have a new directive—save as many humans as possible, … have a new directive—save as many humans as possible, even if some must be sacrificed in the process. Sacrificing lives is not what Infinity signed up for.
Desmond Weaver, determined to help save the human species, has volunteered to be Infinity’s partner. He has ingenuity and grit, but is this enough to make it as a bridger?
Their mission: bridge 718 refugees to a new world and establish a colony. If the world is occupied, avoid conflict and learn to coexist.
Once bridging begins, there is no turning back. The new world is indeed occupied, but not by humans, and avoiding conflict isn’t so easy. As violence erupts, Infinity and Desmond realize they may have only one hope of saving the colony—sacrificing refugees they have sworn to protect.

What once was an optional excursion of adventure has now become a necessary means of survival. Most people won’t get the chance but for those that do there is an enormous degree of anxiety about what lies ahead. They will venture into the unknown facing unfamiliar life forms and circumstances. Can they adapt in order to survive and preserve the human race? What do we gain and what might we lose in the process?
The premise of this series is what keeps me interested. There is so much potential to observe what our human natures are capable of and what we might not have thought we were capable of when push comes to shove. Is our goal to attempt to dominate or to learn from and look out for one another?
Typically, this genre is not my cup of tea. I much prefer a good mystery mixed with a bit of romance. However, there is mystery in venturing into unknown territory and a hint of romance or how else will a population avoid extinction? But, and this is a big BUT, this series (so far) contains a lot of grisly violence. If you can get past all the gore (which seemed to increase in the 2nd of the series) than there are thought provoking ideas to consider that give the story substance. I liked the first book and gave it a four star but since I didn’t find all the violence to be entertaining (although, perhaps necessary to the story) I could only give this book 3.5 stars and yet I am hopeful that the next in the series might be more to my liking.
Allow yourself a day for this PG-13 survival story that picks up where Bridgers 1 ends. I read an ARC (I know, it is LONG delayed) and this voluntary review is my own opinion

“To those who think twice before sacrificing what they know to be moral and just.”
Book 2 is about the transport of human refugees to other planets, a means for survival. It’s an undeline poignant reference to the ever present depressing and sad situation in our reality. A tough and decision mindset for Infinity and Desmond. A Ferocious, non stop action full violence and drama, thought provoking and emotional.
“You don’t get to decide who’s right and who’s wrong. No time for that.”: this is a precise and exact description to the plot. Really an edge of the seat and compelling story! Worth reading!
Thanks to the author for the ARC. This is my honest and voluntary review.
Choose: Bridging or the end of the world?! The tension builds and builds and is sustained throughout the entire book! Can anyone survive bridging? What a thriller!
