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.

An ok-ish sci-if adventure covering a blatant attempt at the commentary on state of the world in 2022.

Political commentary masquerading as science fiction

Very good humor, pretty straight forward. I like it a lot and can only recommend it. If you like complicated settings you might dislike it for me this is gold. The speaker does a good job in giving live to the characters.

This book is even better than I hoped

Ray Porter is doing a marvelous job yet again!

Brilliant

Very different from Taylor's other works and not really my taste. It's not necessarily bad and the snarky parts were definitely fun but I enjoyed his more serious works far more.

It's more of a lighthearted adventure story with more action and less world building. It has its moments but overall there's just too much handwaving and goofyness for me personally. The heavy reliance on conspiracy theories and fake news to explain away all kinds of events struck me as kind of cheap and a bit derogatory towards the reader and the rest of the world really. I get the idea and that it's part of the goofy alien setting but it's such a serious topic that it struck a bit of a nerve with me. I'm looking forward to the continuations of his other book series.

As usual, Ray Porter is great to listen to. Probably my favorite performer. The occasional cuts in the recording and subsequent shifts in voice quality were a bit annoying though.

A little goody but still entertaining

Dennis E. Taylor is a genius! Fantastic story, hilarious writing, super entertaining. Thankfully Ray Porter narrated the adventure, he's the best!
Awesome experience, 5 stars.

Great story, great performance!
