Histoire
When an experiment to study quantum uncertainty goes spectacularly wrong, physics student Bill Rustad and his friends find that they have accidentally created an inter-dimensional portal. They connect to Outland - an alternate Earth with identical geology, but where humans never evolved. The group races to establish control of the portal before the government, the military, or evildoers can take it away. Then everything changes when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts in an explosion large enough to destroy civilization and kill half the planet.

There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure. The first item on his to-do list: Spending his newfound windfall. On an urge to splurge, he signs up to have his head cryogenically preserved in case of death. Then he gets himself killed crossing the street. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.

Histoire
The Galahad, a faster-than-light spacecraft, carries 50 scientists and engineers on a mission to prepare Kepler 452b, Earth's nearest habitable neighbor at 1400 light years away. With Earth no longer habitable and the Mars colony slowly failing, they are humanity's best hope. After 10 years in a failed cryogenic bed - body asleep, mind awake - William Chanokh's torture comes to an end as the fog clears, the hatch opens, and his friend and fellow hacker, Tom, greets him...by stabbing a screwdriver into his heart. This is the first time William dies.

Commander David Bryce is scheduled to lead a routine re-supply run for the Orbital Development Group (ORB) to the fledgling colony on Mars. Without warning, he’s taken away by government agents and told the mission parameters have changed. They’ve discovered something. And it’s drifting closer to Earth.

When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Three are killed. The lives of the families are shattered and the rifts between them ripple throughout the small town.

But an unexpected offer from the US military has brought her to Lisbon with a new mission: posing as a librarian while working undercover as a spy gathering intelligence. Meanwhile, in occupied France, Elaine has begun an apprenticeship at a printing press run by members of the Resistance.

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find.

Description
Three 20-somethings are all that stands between an otherworldly threat and the survival of Earth in the latest thrill ride by Dennis E. Taylor, author of the Audible and New York Times best-selling Bobiverse series.
Jack Kernigan is having a bad day...a bad year...a bad life. After being booted out of MIT, he’s back in his Ohio hometown, working for the family business, facing a life of mediocrity. Then one day, out on a delivery, his truck hits...something. Something big...something furry...something invisible. And, it turns out, something not of this Earth.
Fate can play funny tricks. Which is why Jack suddenly finds himself the planet’s best hope to unravel a conspiracy of galactic proportions that could spell the end of the human race. All Jack and his best friends, Natalie and Patrick, have to defeat an alien threat is their wits, a lot of coffee, and a rather snippy AI named Sheldon. Plus, their own spaceship.
After all, if you’re going to rescue the world, the least you can get out of it is your own spaceship.

Entertaining, but Dennis E Taylor formulaic
An entertaining listen. It’s a quick listen - clocking in at about 9 hours, and Ray Porter is awesome as always. However, you can see characters from his other series - or at least characteristic quirks - in this book. Nerdy, intelligent yet social aware character? Check. Strong female character that “don’t take no guff from nobody”? Check. Star Wars and Star Trek movie lovers that toss out countless references to either franchise? Oh that’s a check. Large amounts of the story devoted to characters craving coffee? Double check. Hell, triple check.
With all of that, it is a grand adventure. Neat twists, amble tongue-in-check humour, funny dialogue between the characters, great descriptions and scene painting. I won’t listen to it repeatedly like I do with the “Bob” series, but was a fun listen - finished listening to the book during my commute, dog walks, or yard work over three days.

Just Meh
You'll likely enjoy this if you're a big fan of the Bobiverse series. The story was somewhat similar to Taylor's earlier work, except more "young-adult" in nature. However, this story is a little too full of repeated nerdy allusions and fairly flat characters.
It's entertaining the same way Netflix-in-the-background is. It was very easy to pickup and put-down.
Ray Porter gives a great performance, as usual. No complaints, overall. Just Meh.

Lazy writing
The characters are basically the same as the characters in Outland, from the same author. The pop culture references are a repeat of Outland. The witty AI feels like an attempt to copy the Skippy character from Craig Alanson’s Expeditionary Force series.
Doesn’t feel original at all and overall very disappointing

Skippy rip off
The snarky AI is a skippy rip off from Craig Allison books starting with Columbus day, so far the story is meh and the character development very basic. If not for Ray Porter , it would get a 1 over all.

A fun listen - Similar to Bobaverse series
I enjoyed the Bobaverse series, although I found the last book kind of lost its way. I decided to give Roadkill a try. I confess, it was strange at first because with the same narrator, it was essentially another Bob book. The main character might has well have been Bob. But after the first 30 minutes or so, I just got into the story. It flows well, and has the same fun, sarcastic, nerd oriented style. I really liked that it is a stand alone story, although it wouldn't surprise me if there is a sequel.

I'm only and hour into this novel and already giddy with delight. While I would never say anything to reveal the plot line, strap in because it moves at lightning speed. Finished this novel now and know this is one of the most satisfying novels I've read. Don't wait to purchase or read!

The least helpful review of Roadkill
Uh… yeah… well, I didn’t not like it. It was entertaining. However, I expected more from Mr. Taylor. He’s in my top five favorite authors list. My “pause whatever else you’re doing and listen to his new book” list.
So, what went wrong?
This was a little too tongue-in-cheek for me. Too rushed. Too influenced by Craig Alanson. The characters acted in unusual ways. Most of the time authors do this to force the plot along, but in this case it was different in a way I can’t quite describe. Example: “Oh, I’m the first human ever to make extraterrestrial contact? Wow. Cool. Well, it’s my bedtime. See you tomorrow.” WTF! No one acts like this! I kept thinking that this was a great story concept, but slow down! Explore the nuances. Hash out the details. This audiobook could have been half again as long and it would have been for the better.
Seriously, Dennis E. Taylor is one of my favorite authors. If you’re unfamiliar with him, don’t start here! Go listen to the Bobiverse series. Do this now! I mean, right now!
So, what went right?
Two words: Ray Porter.
That’s all I got.

Good story, but political injections.
The first two thirds of the book are fun and exciting, then the author goes left, and draws on real controversial issues, it seems most authors these days minored in political science. Just tell the story, to be fair, the politics are minimal, but very annoying, annoying to the point of hitting the 30 second skip button to get past it.
Update: Downgraded story score after hearing the characters take time to argue over AI pronouns. Also, this story is a giant rip off, no originality, did the author just copy and paste from the Expeditionary Force series? A snarky artificial intelligence and wormhole manipulation as a weapon. Zzzz...

Worst Dennis Taylor story so far
I’m a big Dennis Taylor fan overall. I loved the bobiverse and his other books so this was a bit of a surprise. Lazy, dull story. Unlikable and generally glib characters. About 90 mins in I found it difficult to pay attention to and that I didn’t care what happened next in the story so I just stopped listening. Waste of a credit.

Don't skip this one!
As an avid Dennis E Taylor fan, I had this one on pre-order. I was not disappointed. It is another quirky sci-fi adventure narrated by the absolute best narrator on Audible, Ray Porter. It has the same tenor as his other novels, but they are also voiced by Ray Porter so it is easy to imagine the stories are similar, but this is a stand alone adventure which doesn't borrow any themes from his previous novels. If you are a fan of Dennis E Taylor or just want a fun sci-fi jaunt across the solar system, don't skip this one!

I really liked the book I guess
it was a decent story it just felt like a forced money grabbing scheme and not like a world and story he inhabited. it also was very poorly veiled "criticism" of current political leaders/ideas that everyone seems to be capitalizing on. i mean to have the bad guys have orangish skin with white around the eyes and weird tufts of hair, I wonder who you are talking about. this is not a story that will be remembered in the decades to come.
Ray Porter is great no negative points to him. give him a raise.

Very entertaining and not too long.
I just finished this very entertaining book and it wasn’t that long, which was nice, in a good way. The narration is exactly what you’d expect from Porter and the story and comedy is what you’d expect from Taylor’s writing. It doesn’t have as much depth as any of the Bobiverse books but I don’t believe it was meant to. Perfect for a road trip. Wondering if he listens to a lot of Jimmy Dore though…

Dennis and Ray do it again
This Audiobook is well worth the credit. Love the premise and the humor.
Dennis E Taylor Has become my favorite SF author. I await each of his books like I did Isaac Asimov's books - yes, Dennis is that good and yes, I am that old.
I waited up until 2 a.m. CST to download this gem and when it was finally available at 2:20 a.m. I promptly fell asleep in ten minutes. Not that the material was any good - far from it - but because this is the effect Ray Porter has upon me. Ray Porter is the Vin Scully of the Audio Book World.

Classic Dennis E. Taylor
With Ray Porter at the mic, this latest novel has all of the hallmarks of what makes for a thoroughly enjoyable D.E. Taylor audiobook: an imaginative premise, a plucky and intelligent hero, a couple of faithful friends, plenty of wit and cheeky banter, a bevy of futuristic gadgets, a lineup of bad guys that menace and threaten, and enough twists and turns to keep it all interesting. The only negative is that it all goes by too quickly. In fact, on the whole, I am unable to say much more about this one other than it entertains and doesn't have to drag its characters through nine circles of hell to accomplish it. Dare I say, it's family friendly? Well, yes, it is...so long as your family can handle the occasional profanity. "Roadkill" (a title that sounds much more disturbing than it actually turns out to be) is fine for kids and is practically YA lit. (The protagonist is still in college.) In terms of themes and political leanings, Taylor does have a bit to say about our current cultural climate, especially regarding fake news, conspiracy theories, and the persistent disunity in American society. None of it is especially overt, but those who have an ear for it certainly will get the message. On an unrelated note, some may accuse Taylor of taking cues from author Laurence E. Dahners when it comes to populating his story with underestimated, youthful protagonists, who always seem to possess more than enough ability to save the day (ahem, Mary Sue), but so what? If the trend is away from tales of revenge and bloodletting and towards tales of character and ingenuity, then I welcome it. But, I digress...."Roadkill" is a fun, warm-hearted SciFi adventure read by a masterful narrator.

So bad I'm without words
Can't believe Bobiverse and this book came from the same author. It might just be that Roadkill is the worst Sifi book ever written. And I'm not even joking.
Ps. It's also a ripoff of Expeditionary force, and a really, really bad one!

Does it again…
Once again D.E.T. does it again and tells a compelling story with dram, humor, snark and an A.I. I really enjoyed the story and the voicing, it stands along with his other books as some of my favorites!
