From electrifying horror author Nick Cutter comes a haunting new novel, reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian and Stephen King's It, in which a trio of mismatched mercenaries is hired by a young woman for a deceptively simple task: check in on her nephew, who may have been taken against his will to a remote New Mexico backwoods settlement called Little Heaven. Shortly after they arrive, things begin to turn ominous.

Story
A strange plague called the "Gets" is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget - small things at first, like where they left their keys... then the not-so-small things like how to drive, or the letters of the alphabet. Then their bodies forget how to function involuntarily - and there is no cure. But now, far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, deep in the Marianas Trench, an heretofore unknown substance hailed as "ambrosia" has been discovered - a universal healer, from initial reports.

Story
Once every year, Scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a weekend camping trip - a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story around a roaring bonfre. The boys are a tight-knit crew. There’s Kent, one of the most popular kids in school; Ephraim and Max, also well-liked and easygoing; then there’s Newt the nerd and Shelley the odd duck. For the most part, they all get along and are happy to be there - which makes Scoutmaster Tim’s job a little easier.

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

Publisher's Summary
John Hawkins is counting down his last days as chief of police on the Lone Crow Reservation in the lonely, frigid woods of the Yukon. But when a faceless body with mysterious wounds washes up on the shores of the Porcupine River, he’s pulled deeper in than ever before.
Hawkins and coroner Jacob Littlecorn suspect the disfigured body is that of theoretical physicist Graham Raphelson, also known as the “molecular madman of Trinity College”, who recently disappeared. The two investigators enlist Meg Gilday, a charter boat captain, and Linda Raphelson to examine the place where her husband was last seen alive. There, they find a house infested with more than secrets: bugs wriggle behind the walls, and in the attic sits a bizarre machine cobbled together from toy parts and electrical wire, a device that might be able to tear a hole through the fabric of reality itself. When Meg and Jacob get bitten and someone goes missing, Hawkins realizes that firing up the machine might be the only way to solve the case.
Buzzing with suspense, this dark, gripping mystery from acclaimed horror writer Nick Cutter will leave listeners’ skin crawling.

Pretty good scary story
I thought this was ok, not one of Cutter's best but I like the story and his writing style. 3.5 stars rounded down to 3, just because I didn't really care for the narrator.

Nick Cutter Does It Again
What an absolute master of the genre. This story is such a crazy ride that could only come from the mind of Canada’s gift to horror. Cutter deserves serious recognition for his creation of recognizable, flawed, likeable, doomed characters, and of course for making the readers skin bubble and crawl along with his creations.

Recommended, Albeit a Bit Frustrating
I want to make it clear that I am an avid fan of Nick Cutter, (the horror-fiction pen name of Craig Davidson). The Troop is universally lauded as a masterpiece for good reason, and I'd stake that The Deep is just as good. In terms of weaving science fiction and horror, and in terms of extrapolating a concept to its most horrific possible extremes, Cutter is unmatched. I would go so far as saying that he is, quite possibly, a front-runner for the title of the very best living writer in his genre.
And this fanatical love of his other books may be the reason I was so disappointed with The Breach. In his prior books, Cutter strikes a perfect pace, building tension and foreshadowing without tipping his hand too early. In this story, the characters, buildup, and even the core concept of the story, are all sort of set up and passed over in a mad dash to bring out the body horror scenes. It all just rushes by too quickly. The narration is short and clipped, not doing enough to paint a picture of the setting. Where the island in The Troop, the research station in The Deep, and the cult compound in Little Heaven are all grand Gothic locations, the house and wilderness in The Breach is lacking in character. Finally, while the key rule of modern horror (whether you prefer to call it Weird Fiction, Cosmic Horror, Lovecraftian or Post-modern) is 'never explain anything'; The Breach suffers from having not quite enough explanation. There's the Philadelphia experiment, and some horrible parasitizing extraspatial presence that used it to break through to our world, then there's wasps, and maybe the wasps come from another world, or maybe they're normal wasps that have been corrupted. Who knows? The pig says "Cleanse" and bad stuff happens. There's all these separate pieces and we never get a clear view of how they're connected.
The second half of the book seems to recover. There's a particular scene that stands out, where two of our heroes meet a pair of squatters living in the woods, and it feels incredibly tense. There seems to be a longer, better book hidden in here, but it hadn't quite gestated properly before clawing its way out of its quivering, gelatinous pupa.
The performance was also spotty at times. The reader's voice was fine, but he did very little by the way of inflection to give each character a distinct sound. This can be OK, but the clipped, sparse narration makes it unclear which character is speaking at times, and you're left to suss it out from context. There are also multiple breaks in the audio track where one take is stitched to another, but the volume isn't corrected, so there is a noticeable leap up or down. I think a few more takes and a little more polish in editing could have cleaned it up just fine. In a word, I would call it 'rushed.'
If you're still reading this, you're probably confused by how I can still recommend this book despite complaining about it so much. The fact of the matter that the very worst Nick Cutter story is still leaps and bounds better than anything else in the same vein. The core of the story is interesting, the imagery in the later scenes is truly horrible (which is a feature, remember this is a horror novel), and I still enjoyed the last leg of the journey. I've had quite a few credits go to waste on books so lousy I didn't bother finishing them, so this is still worth picking up. But if this is your first book from this author, do yourself a favor, and don't let it be the last. Go grab The Troop, as well.

This story was just interesting enough to keep me reading, but it didn't make a ton of sense and the characters weren't overly compelling. Kinda just reads like an old episode of The Outer Limits or something. Not terrible, not great. Meh.

Oh, Nick... what happened?
The Troop and Little Heaven made me a Nick Cutter fan; even The Deep and Acolyte - although not as good - kept me wanting more of the author's ability to spin an intriguing yarn with plenty of strong characters who are plunged into plots that drag them into the other-worldly. So, I am amazed that Mr. Cutter wrote The Breach - a novel that has so little character build that I really didn't care much about any of them. As well, the reason behind the sci-fi mystery is disjointed and never adequately explained, making the story line flimsy at best. Even the creepy creatures could not save this unfortunate novel that concludes with a very predictable ending. On a happier note, Marc Vietor's narration is quite good.
