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.

Fun, frolicking adventure sci fi story, exploring many of Taylor's favourite themes and favourite story devices (incredible disguises anyone?). I ONLY listen to Taylor's work when read by Porter (as opposed to reading actual words) cause it's just too good! If you've listened to the duo before (the Bobs, Outland), then you'll know what I'm talking about. Alternatively, if you enjoyed Porter reading Project Hail Mary (Andy Weir) I recommend you give this a go.

If it's Dennis and Ray, I'm here for it

Auther and Narator both as allways take a simple premise and spiral it into a laughable adventure. You won't be disapointed but... There's a lot going on so don't drift off and expect to know what's going on when u refocus 5mims later.

Dam good listening

Enjoyed the story and narration. The ending felt a tad rushed but otherwise was an enjoyable listen with a unique take on an alien/sci fi story.

Good original story

as ever, Ray Porter rocks the narration.
Not a deep cerebral story, but thoroughly entertaining and well paced.

Entertaining.
