About this listen

An audiobook featuring award-winning narrator Charlie Thurston, celebrated for his work on Demon Copperhead.

When an augmented hard drive meant to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program falls into the wrong hands, the world edges closer to obliteration. Special Agents Steven and Avra are back! Along with Cindy, the spiritual eyeless doll, they’re at the heart of a sting operation to trick the infamous Iranian terrorist, Garf Zeman, into acquiring this tech—designed to let Israel destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Everything goes to plan… until it doesn’t. Chaos erupts, Israel and Russia clash, and aliens show up—speaking Ancient Hebrew. Fasten your seatbelts. In a world teetering on annihilation, one man and a doll hold the key to humanity’s salvation. It’s a race to decode the extraterrestrial message, stop the war, and maybe even save Steven’s heart.

Reach for the Stars is a geopolitical and interstellar mission of survival, satire, and intrigue. Catch-22 meets Men in Black—with a dash of Porky’s. This genre-bending ride blends espionage, absurdist humor, sci-fi, and heart. Perfect for fans of Carl Hiaasen, Christopher Moore, and Joseph Heller. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a Cleveland Ranger, a telepathic doll, and a Mossad black op collide with aliens speaking Ancient Hebrew—this is your book.
