Publisher's 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.

Very clever and entertaining
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

good but not Bobiverse good
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

If you liked Skippy, you'll like this
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.

Great stand alone story
A lighthearted easy listen. Simple but engaging story with likeable characters. Refreshing to listen to a standalone story without knowing there will be another 17 books and 12 years to go!

Pretty good
Not my favourite of Dennis’ books but it kept me entertained and provoked some thought. Ray’s narration was top tier like always.

What a fun read
I loved this, and my favourite character has to be Sheldon, some laugh out loud moment with him. The narration was brilliant and brought the book to life.

A science fiction convert for life!
Never thought of myself as ever being a science fiction fan, butwhat a pleasure to listen to, engaging story and I'm already a fan of the narrator and the author!
