About this listen

Captain Maxwell Davis and his entire unit scrambled to engage alien ships over Iowa. The aliens snatched him out of his destroyed jet before they continued on their interplanetary hot pursuit. Then they informed Max that Earth was too far outside regular shipping lanes to return him to his planet.

So Max ends up in an alien spaceport looking for work. To afford a ticket home he can either spend 300 years working with linguists to improve the computer's questionable ability to translate English or he can take a job as a nanny for an unpopular alien. That way he can afford the ticket in four years. The problem is that the computer may have mistranslated the word "nanny" and there might be a reason an alien is willing to pay such a high fee.

One of the best books ever! I was mesmerised by this incredible story. My goodness! I’ve just purchased the second book with my audible credit and can’t wait. John Solo is as fabulous as always! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely Wonderful

USAF Capt Max Davis is a long way from home, having been captured by an alien ship and transported across the universe. To earn his way home he takes a nanny position for a many-tentacled alien he calls ‘Rick’, only ‘nanny’ might be a mistranslation. I was surprised by how much I liked this, I think I was expecting schlock and instead it was a sweet and funny interspecies MPREG romance. Told from Max’s POV, this is basically a two-person (creature?) play with minimal secondary roles, and I was amazed that Lyn Gala was able to develop Rick’s many-tentacled character, imbue him with emotions, vulnerability, hopes, and dreams. I’ll definitely chase up more by this author! 🎧 John Solo is the king of quirk and he is supremely suited to narrate books like this - very entertaining and great fun to listen to.

Very entertaining and great fun!
