Summary

The Audible UK #1 bestseller from the author of The Stone Man!

What do the dead do when they can't leave...and don't know why?

The afterlife doesn't come with a manual. In fact, Hart and Bowler (two ordinary but dead men) have had to work out the rules of their new existence for themselves. It's that fact (along with being unable to leave the boundaries of their city center, unable to communicate with the other lost souls, unable to rest in case The Beast catches up with them) that makes getting out of their situation a priority. But Hart and Bowler don't know why they're there in the first place; if they ever want to leave, they will have to find all the answers to be able to understand the physics of the dead.

What are the strange, glowing objects that pass across the sky? Who are the living people surrounded by a blue glow? What are their physical limitations in that place, and have they fully explored the possibilities of what they can do?

Time is running out. Their afterlife was never supposed to be this way, and if they don't make it out soon, they're destined to end up like the others. Insane, and alone forever....

In this creepy, mysterious debut novel from the author of the Amazon and Audible number-one best seller The Stone Man, the richly-built world of The Physics of the Dead will slowly draw you in with an icy grip until you are left gasping.

I don't know what it is about Luke's reading but he has the ability to take you on a journey in which the road goes on for miles and you want to just keep driving. I listen to audio books as I drive a lot and the journeys are never long enough!! So exciting, so enthralling, so exhilarating! Another stunning listen!

Another superb book and read from Smitherd!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Physics of the Dead to be better than the print version?

Luke Smitherd grew on me as a narrator. I was not overly impressed in the first ten minutes or so but by the end of the audiobook, his dulcet tones were a perfect fit.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Physics of the Dead?

The expertly crafted world and the intriguing characters that Luke creates are captivating, making the majority of the experience unforgettable. With ordinary people in extraordinary situations, this book makes the impossible seem plausible.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I got this audiobook when it was an Audible Daily Deal and was not expecting to be so enthralled with every moment. I made excuses and found reasons to carry on listening.

Any additional comments?

I never write reviews as a general consumer as I spend most of my spare time writing game reviews for a popular PlayStation-centric site. However, The Physics of the Dead compelled me to add a few comments and urge people to give it a try.

Fantastic writing and narration. Loved it.

Normally don’t like authors reading own work - usually flat and disappointing. However the reading was just right. Clear, not intrusive and quietly gripping. Thank you

Original premise and totally absorbing
