Summary

Everyman Theo Hoover accidentally becomes Grand Oversee -- humanity's supreme leader -- managing the terraforming of Sunnyside, mankind's potential new home planet. But people are dying. And aliens are coming. And his brother is missing. And Kate Kingston of all people has been assigned his Chief of Staff. But chaos is only the beginning, as the fate of Sunnyside – and humanity – comes to rest in Theo's shaky hands.

With Sunnyside, Rob Dircks (#1 Audible Bestselling author of You're Going to Mars! and Where the Hell is Tesla?) tells a tale of First Contact, unlikely heroes, political twists and turns – and everyday people trying to figure out what it means to be "home."

The Black List describes it as "a distant future filled with irony, madcap characters, spaceships, a few bureaucratic conspiracies and an utterly unique voice with a pace and energy that moves at warp-speed.”
