I have, on occasion, previously stated that other books were the best I’d written. That doesn’t mean I’m lying about all but one of them. I think authors should be allowed to have multiple favorites. And I do. And this is one of them. From the setting, to the characters, to the science, this one is solid from beginning to end. Not only that, but I have a special connection to the main character–which you can learn about when you read the dang thing. No spoilers here! ARTIFACT was a blast to write and is one of those books that has advance readers saying it should be a movie. I agree! Now, let’s make this thing a bestseller.

*Scratching record noise* Okay, before we get to that, you’ll notice that the banner above has all three editions of the book listed as for sale TODAY. But…that’s not the case. Due to factors beyond my control, the ARTIFACT audiobook has been delayed until September 9. You’ll get a second newsletter from me then, reminding you that it’s out (lucky you). Okay, now…

ONTO THE BOOK!

Fans of THE THING will feel right at home in this sci-fi thriller set in a small town in the middle of an Alaskan winter. More than that, fans of the late great Michael Crichton will feel like they’ve traveled back in time and–okay, okay, I can’t go that far. BUT, I was aiming for Crichton territory with this one, and for the most part think I nailed it, but with my humor, first person storytelling, and a complete lack of three-page info dumps. 🙂 The cover is a clear homage to Crichton in his prime, and the book is dedicated to him.

If, like me, you like video trailers, this is for you. If not, scroll down and keep reading!

THE STORY:

In an isolated Alaskan town, the local sheriff uncovers a secret lab where generative AI and bioprinting have unleashed something monstrous . . .

Sheriff Colton Graves prefers the quiet life in Raven’s Rest, Alaska, a remote town accessible only by tunnel and home to a hardy mix of locals and secrets buried in the ice. But when a camel wanders down Main Street―its head grotesquely sprouting a dozen eyes―Colton knows his quiet days are over. The bizarre incident leads him to NovaGen, a nearby research facility constructed inside a Cold War bunker, buried in the mountains above town. There, a trail of blood and eerie silence hints at something far more sinister than an escaped animal experiment.

With his deputies―the sharp-witted Tali and rookie Ethan―Colton recruits a few trusted locals, including the unshakable Marit, Tali’s sister; the intimidating “Grizz” Norval; and Edgar “Old Red” Rydell, an aging man plagued by demons from when he worked at the bunker during its covert days.

Together, they investigate the abandoned lab. What begins as a search for missing scientists soon reveals chilling evidence: pools of blood without bodies, cryptic warnings left behind, a bloody six-fingered handprint, and the revelation of a generative AI capable of printing living organisms. As they descend deeper into the lab, it becomes clear the answers they seek may come at a terrifying cost―and what was made in the dark may not be content to stay there.

New York Times bestselling author Jeremy Robinson reclaims his title as one of the best Michael Crichton successors with this harrowing blend of suspense, science, and survival. Artifact takes readers into a frozen abyss where innovation and nightmares collide.

The Infinite Timeline wrapped up in 2024 with SINGULARITY, the final novel that pulled together twelve previous books—nine standalones and three crossovers—into one mega-crossover brain-melter. This isn’t a sales pitch for the series, I promise. But when readers finished it, I started getting variations of the same question over and over:

“What is up with your brain?”

I also got called a “savant.” A couple times: “idiot savant.” Charming.

The questions got louder when I revealed that I didn’t outline any of the Infinite Timeline. No plot notes. No spreadsheets. Just… vibes and memory. The settings. The plots. Dozens of character arcs and voices. All woven together in the final book, mostly from what I could remember. A few things slipped through the cracks, sure, but not much.

Cue the DMs, emails, and comment section theories. “Why is your brain so different?!”

And that got me asking two questions of my own:

1. Is my brain different?
2. If so… why?

The Diagnosis I Didn’t See Coming

My big satchel of support, full of all the things I need to make me feel like I can handle the world.

The answer to #1 was easy. Yes. In so many ways, yes.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I’ve wrestled with an assortment of baffling issues: anxiety, depression, nerve pain, sensory overload, mysterious neurological symptoms, and a wild imagination that rarely shuts off. No one could figure it out. Treatments helped sometimes—but mostly just dulled the symptoms. I didn’t feel better, just muted.

Then one day, while discussing all this with my wife, she said:

“Maybe you’re autistic.”

What is RobinsonFest?

With fans turned friends. Back when I had golden locks.

Only the coolest gathering of the most amazing people on the planet, that’s what! The less exciting answer is that fans from around the globe join Jeremy Robinson (me!), Kane Gilmour, and an assortment of other guest authors for a long weekend of fun events, adventures, and gatherings that give fans unprecedented access to their favorite (I hope) author. This year we’re going to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side of the border. We’re going to get wet from the falls, going to cause havoc on an epic go-kart track, eat at fabulous restaurants, and spend bonus time hanging out, really getting to know each other and making new and lifelong friends. It’s like summer camp for adults!

Wearing a horrifying mask of myself…posing for a family photo with my Canadian RFest peeps!

Now, I’m keeping this short and sweet because all of the very detailed information about this year’s Fest is available on the registration page. Space is limited and it’s possible that our hotel block could fill up, so don’t dilly dally, and get your hotel discount code. ALSO, keep in mind that this is in Canada. You will need a passport. So if you don’t have one, apply for one now. There is time, especially if you put a rush on it.

I hope to see you there!

Well, that sounds cool, but what the heck are you talking about?!

Breakneck Comics is the product of a lifelong dream to be a comic book creator. Long before I was a writer, I was an artist, and comic books was my medium of choice. Over time, I realized that my art was all about storytelling and I started writing as well. While I was…okay as an artist, it turned out I was a better writer and I ended up landing on writing novels for my bread and butter. But my dream of creating comics has never faded, and thanks to my success as a novelist, I can now pursue this dream in a big way. Most reasonable people would start with a single book. But I’m not reasonable. I’m ambitious. So we’re kicking things off with FIVE graphic novels. Four are original stories: EXCOMMUNICATED, NECTAR, 1001 SAVES THE WORLD, and GROTESQUE. The fifth is based on my novel, soon to be TV series, PROJECT NEMESIS.

Over the past two years, Kane and I have been working with an unbelievable team of artists from around the world, and we got started without knowing exactly how they’d be published. But I believed in the books so I was all in from the start. After a year of working on the books, we were fortunate enough to  be connected with the amazing people at Vault Comics. Feels strange to say they were “blown away” by the books, but the result was a five book partnership deal, so I think they must have been pretty impressed!

READ ABOUT THE DEAL at COMICSBEAT.COM.

What’s a partnership deal?

Other than a phrase I just made up, it basically means that Breakneck (me) and Vault are co-publishing the books. I’m focusing on what I do best–telling stories and art directing–and they’re focusing on the publishing, distribution and marketing of the books, which is something I couldn’t do on my own.

When can we get the graphic novels?!

Glad you asked. The first of the five books will be released in Summer 2026 and then one book per season after that. If all goes well, we’ll be publishing many more than these five books.

It’s hard to explain how excited I am about these books, some of which I’ve been working on since I was 17. I just love the medium and am thrilled to finally FINALLY be creating my own comic book worlds. Stay tuned for more!

If anyone had asked me two years ago, if I thought I’d ever write a novel about–

(SPOILERS AHEAD – If you haven’t read Book 1 or Book 2 yet. What the heck are you doing here?! Go grab those, read them, and then come back.)

–talking dogs from space, I’d have laughed and said, “ludicrous.” Then I’d probably have thought about it some more…and some more…and then started asking what people thought of the concept, expecting them to laugh and say “ludicrous!”

But this is exactly how GOOD BOYS came to be. Alex Maddern, a cat person, weirdly enough, pitched the concept while we were gaming. It was a fun idea despite his take being more about dogs being gross and dumb. My first thought was that he was bonkers.

But then the seed he planted began to grow and I started asking other people what they thought of my refined take on the idea…and was surprised when everyone loved it. Feeling energized from the very positive response, I dove into Book 1 and fell in love. The standalone novel quickly became a trilogy and I spent an entire year writing about doggos. It was probably the most fun I’ve had as a writer and was made even better because as I was writing a story about Grover the Golden Retriever, I was also raising the actual Grover the Golden Retriever.

Every chapter of these books was written with Grover by my side, sometimes sleeping, sometimes gnawing on my arm. And I’m happy to say that my relationship with the actual Grover is an accurate reflection of Micah and Grover in the novels. We both are our calmest when we’re together, and are largely inseparable. If you have a pet-friend in your life–even a cat–these books, more than anything, are a celebration of how our furry friends change our lives. If you haven’t read them yet, pick up all three and join the party!

GOOD BOYS

Sometimes when writing a novel, you get to the end and think one of two things. “I’m glad that’s over,” or, “I wish that didn’t have to end.” For the most part, I’m an option two kind of guy. I have a long list of novel worlds I’d like to keep exploring, BUT I also come from an art background and “knowing when to stop” is an important lesson.
