Summary

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.

good! certainly more entertaining than the majority. i found it a bit short and, mainly, annoyed that this took priority over the next bobiverse release. narration by Ray was excellent, as always

good but not Bobiverse good

The way the story ties in with current world events is great. Although a bit childish at times it's a classic Dennis E. Taylor

Very clever and entertaining

Another delightful enjoyable book by Dennis & read by Ray Porter, you smashed it yet again. Thanks heaps!

Wonderful!

Sheldon is a bit of a stand in for Skippy from Ex Force but it's a good book nonetheless. Different enough that it doesn't feel like a copy but close enough that those who like Expeditionary Force will like this. It's certainly got the Taylor touch as well and is a familiar style for those who have listened to the Bobiverse series.

If you liked Skippy, you'll like this
