Summary
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.

Second Part
I thought it was good, very imaginative, pure sci-fi disaster, I'll have to get part 3 to find out how it ends.

Too simplistic and predictable too be really good
The story idea is not new exactly, but it presents an interesting twist and the writer is talented. However, the level of stereotyping and the simplicity of the characters is a real let down. The story has the psychological sophistication of a 70s James Bond or Indiana Jones movie. The bad guys/girls are one-dimensional, narcissistic, blond, blue-eyed villains (think "James Bond villain meets bunch of Indiana Jones antagonists from World War II") and the good guys/girls are extraordinary, loving, selfless, culturally diverse heroes whose only problem is that they are quite literally too good to be true. And so it goes: the story never rings true, not even for a short while. Another problem always accompanying such a cast of simplistic characters: the end is way too predictable. Such a shame, this could have been so good.
Performance: the narrator does her best to stick to the stereotypical concepts of the characters, even going a bit overboard at times. For example: just because a character has a Spanish or Indian name, is it strictly necessary to go down the Homer-Simpson's Apu road of overexaggerated dialects? I thought that kind of ethnical stereotyping was a thing of the past?
Still, this has/had the potential to entertain, though. The most disappointing thing is that it could have so easily been so much better. Therefore 2 stars instead of one for both story and performance. Not much harm done, however, one may argue, as these titles are part of the "plus catalogue" thus free of charge. (Books 1 to 3 resemble three chapters/stage acts of a single book more than three stand-alone books in a series.)
