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.

Loved that this story hooks you right in from Chapter 1 with no set up chapters required. One of my favourite ever books and I think the fastest I have ever listened to an audiobook.

Loved this, just bought a house and redecorating, needed something that would capture my attention but could be listened to while doing those oh soooo mundane tasks, loved this, hit all my needs and I’m looking forward to listening to the next in the series, this time in my garden with a wee glass of Pinot!
Highly recommend!
