About this listen

You can listen to this science fiction story for free on your device with the Audible Stories Skill. Just say “Alexa, read me a sci-fi story,” or “Alexa, read me a story” to hear more free genres.

Aliens searching for a new home planet have studied humans through the “archives” they’ve discovered, specifically, Hollywood musicals. They arrive on Earth ready to integrate with the world through song, but find the world does not greet them the way they expect. Think Galaxy Quest with musicals!

Veronica Bane is a writer and ghostwriter who has worked with both indie and Big 5 publishers on multiple genres.

There’s just over 6 minutes of my life I will never get back. If I could give less than 1 star, I would.

Don’t bother

I don't understand what the deal is with this cringy little thing. It's barely a concept, and the execution digs beneath that lowest possible bar to dribble warm diarrhoea directly into your ears.

Spoilers away because who could possibly care? Alien invaders confuse politics with entertainment & think Marilyn Monroe is the leader of the planet. Screaming is singing. I am really overselling this.

Sure, whatever, just go be pathetic & boring somewhere else. I wouldn't listen to this again unless I was being reasonably compensated for it.

At least it was over quickly?
