About this listen

Brought to you by Its Majesty's Government. Greatest Britain: For a Global Universe.

Strap yourself in and maybe put on a crash helmet, Agent Isaac Steele has another case to crack.

The theft of the Best Idea in the Universe from Thresia's Intergalactic Bank of Ideas plunges the Discovered Universe into chaos. With a robotic partner who’s not the machine he fell in love with and a mind as cool and measured as a forest fire, Isaac must unravel a cosmic conspiracy that stretches further than the reaches of even his depraved imagination.

Earth and Thresia teeter on the brink of war as the race to recover the Best Idea intensifies. Yet in this bizarre Universe, truth proves stranger - and far more perilous - than fiction.

So put on that helmet and possibly add kneepads actually for a mind-bending journey through space, time, and the occasional bar in this latest adventure from the brilliantly warped mind of BAFTA winner Daniel Rigby.

Available in Dolby Atmos

Good fun sequel. Really enjoy Rigby’s sense of humour, succinct structure without much flannel, and his delivery.

Shoutout to whoever does the little sound effects.

I know he’s an actor but if he could put a couple of these books each year it would make me very happy.

Performance is amazing

This was a really good comedy sci-fi series and a great world builder I can't wait to see what happens next book

A brilliant sequel

You really must read the Forever Man first, as this sequel wastes no time in establishing itself and rips along at a giddy pace. It's silly at times and poignant at others, characters come and go and it's all very linear in terms of narrative, something happens that requires the next scene to play out, wherein something happens and we're off to scene three. But it's all done with such wit and humanity and pathos that it's just so warming and comforting to listen to, exactly like Douglas Adams, think Dirk Gently and the restaurant at the end of the universe and you're well on the way.
The first book was a revelation, but did feel like a pandemic novel with every possible idea crammed in to one crazy breakneck story, and I was worried that the author may have exhausted their plot bag all in one explosion of a novel, but this new story is just as hyper and cartwheeling as the first one and I genuinely can't wait for the third one. Well done Audible for commissioning a new author and giving them such freedom.
There's an interesting decision to provide background scene noises that are almost subtle enough to ignore, on my bluetooth speaker the incidental sounds were a little distracting as I kept feeling the speaker was picking up interference, but on headphones the stereo games being played worked much better,

Wonderful sequel keeps the laughter coming

another really good story, the world and character building really brings it to life. I'll definitely be re-listening to both books while waiting for the next!

please don't wait so long for the next one!

Never thought a second part would come but here we are and I found myself as enraptured as with the first book. The style is still very much the same with comical expressions and descriptions that really bring a smile to my face. Plus we finally continue to learn more about the universe of Isaac Steele and I love it. More please
