About this listen

You think you’re struggling to find your place in the universe?

Consider poor old Colin Douglass, a terminally ill insurance agent who awakens from centuries in cryogenic freeze to find Earth is a devastated wasteland. Now, he’s being pursued by a homicidal interstellar tourist board, and calculating insurance dividends is as outdated as making stone axes.

Sci-fi-hating technophobe Colin embarks on a desperate struggle to find a cure for his illness, as well as a place for himself in this strange new galaxy where toilets talk back, and door handles are a long-forgotten relic. Only by teaming up with his rescuer, hard-boiled, space-traveling archaeologist Tyresa Jak (that’s Doctor Jak to you), can Colin hope to succeed before time runs out.

Along the way, this galactic odd-couple must evade the Erd Tourist Board - a powerful mega-corporation which will do anything to ensure the mythical Earth stays mythical - and deal with a crackpot religious cult who not only possess a cure for Colin’s illness, but who also believe there is more to this caveman from Earth than meets the eye....

Don't miss the start of this side-splitting intergalactic adventure. It's perfect for fans of Guardians of the Galaxy, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and Space Team.

What a great surprise. There are so many snippets of plots classic 80’s & early 90’s films in the book it really made me smile.

The book moves along at a good pace and is entertaining throughout (even if you do want to grab the lead character by the shoulders and shake some sense into them)

Will definitely be listening to the second book.

Very enjoyable and entertaining

First two hours of this book were honestly a one star, however the author seems to pick up confidence as it progresses, getting better and better towards the end as it begins to focus on characters other than the annoying protagonist.

The author wears his influences openly, with clear nods to Hitchikers Guide, Red Dwarf and Monty Python. It felt like a cheap parody of all of the above at certain points before the author seemed to establish his own identity in the final third.

Feels like the author is finding their own style

I was lucky enough to be offered a free copy of this book for an honest impartial review, so here it is.

I might just have picked this up anyway as I have seen a few adverts for it and it has been on the Audible front page and the story is right up my street.

The premise without giving too much away is that our protagonist Colin gets sick and sells up his house and life to be put in stasis for a few years until medical science has found a cure for his illness. Unfortunately he's asleep for a little longer than that and this book focuses on the afterwards part and Colin's journey from being woken up to try and get his cure.

I must admit from the point of Colin waking up I thought the book would go in a very different way to what it did. He meets a sort of Interstellar female Indiana Jones type Dr Tyeresa Jack (have I spelled that right? Hard to know when you're listening!) And the book follows their journey along with some other very likable characters for what is a very light-hearted and enjoyable story.

This is definitely what I would describe as a "holiday read" being not too long, funny and easy to dive in and out of and not get lost.

Steve West the narrator does a good job and I find him best suited to humorous books with his deep bassy voice, he can take a little getting used to but really grows on you as listen.

The book is set up for the sequel which is already out and already on my wishlist. I have a feeling that now the origin story is out of the way the real adventures can begin!

Great as a holiday read

Decent enough story about Arthur I mean Colin / you see there is the issue it’s ok to pass sometime and some interesting positions but the Adams influence is there - at least for me - and this doesn’t quite hit the mark. Performance was good and engaging and would look to see more from this narrator

An interesting albeit Douglas Adams like romp

Took a chance on this one and glad I did. A little predictable in parts but ultimately well done enjoyed this read very much and went straight to the next one.

Well worth a read
