Diego, a part time thief and our hapless protagonist, gets involved with agents from other worlds trying to take over our world. If you are sick of current political ideologies, you might be entertained as Diego encounters people with these ideologies on his quest to save the Earth. Narrator is great at all the voices.

Entertaining satire on current ideologies

This was both silly (in a very entertaining way) and quite profound. The narrator's performance of the text was probably the best I have heard on an audiobook.

Great performance and a very entertaining yarn.

Fabulously unique story with a fun relaxed character. Unfortunately the narrator narrates like he is having a panic attack which dose not really work with the feel of the story.

great storyline weird narration

A great story about our political and social extremists makes it all seem so narrow minded and scary 🤔

A sign for our time’s

I loved the whole thing. I'm a big Max Barry fan from way back. The story is quirky, the ideas are fabulous and the grasp of human nature is deep. I highly recommend this audiobook.

Even the chapter titles made me laugh out loud
