About this listen

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.

Dennis Taylor’s stories certainly start to blend together when you read enough of them (coffee addiction, somewhat static female auxiliary character held in high regard, similar mannerisms from the protagonist) but the story is still engaging. The writing style dips a toe into young adult/incel tropes a bit more than I like, but there is still a charm to it.

Ray Porter is a fantastic narrator and comes through with his usual professionalism and polish.

Exactly what you expect from Taylor.

Loved the characters and story. I would hope there will be a sequel and a series!!!

Amazing writing!

Dennis E. Taylor nous livre encore une fois un roman bien ficelé. Dans celui-ci, la prémisse très simple ouvre sur un monde gigantesque, mais exploré à échelle humaine.

Ray Porter est probablement le meilleur narrateur du genre.

Another breathtaking novel from Mr Taylor

Very like the bob series. The same narrator adds to the feel of the work. It’s a little juvenile but honestly that adds to the appeal.

Good listen

Sheldon, the sentient AI was an awesome character. I found myself laughing out loud on my morning walks. Performance was what you’d expert from Ray Porter- flawless.

Loved this book!
