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.

Delightful read!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 6, 2023

Who doesn't want to stumble (literally) onto a spaceship? Hang with friends, save the world and make a few galactic connections? This book was a fun, snappy ride from start to finish. I really enjoyed it.

Funny, engaging, fast paced

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 10, 2023

Targeted at teenagers, funny but at the same time quite deep story of aliens attacking Earth and a trio of young people trying to stop the invasion.

I enjoyed it a lot.

Pulp fiction at its finest.

Read through in a couple of days. Easy. Good fast paced action with snarky conversations. Dreadful cover though. Really dreadful cover.

Teenagers find invisible spaceship and chaos ensues

This is the 6th of his books in a row I have read, and this one is just as entertaining.
Like all his books, great snappy dialog, absolutely laden down with contemporary nerd culture - it would be helpful if you knew the difference between Star Trek and Star Wars. Funny. And like his other books, all the best lines are delivered by an artificial intelligence. Its all very wholesome stuff, no sex or real violence, would make an excellent teen young adult selection, which doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it as an ancient adult.

He is recycling his ideas a lot - the use of AIs, machines that can semi-magically make whatever you want, but the stories move along, the dialog is funny, the characters are likable, I enjoyed reading it.

Guffawing levels of entertainment

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on March 11, 2023

That it's sci-fi (not hard sci-fi) is pretty obvious from chapter one.

The insanely snarky, cynical, sarcastic AI gave me cramps from laughing so hard.
Do I want a continuation?
Oh yes, please, with sugar and sprinkles on top.
It's zany on a level of Looney Tunes meets Doctor Who, with a nice sprinkle of Encounter of the Third Kind.
Fun, entertaining, definitely calling for more.
Are the protagonists relatable? Yes.
Do they do some pretty dumb stuff at times? Hell, yeah.

Nette Variante der "Twens retten die Welt" Erzählungen

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on February 4, 2023

Dieser Roman hat mich nicht so sehr gepackt wie das Bobiversum, aber er ist sehr unterhaltsam und schlachtet den Craig Alanson/Skippy Querverweis der späteren Bobiversum Romane noch mehr aus. auch die unrühmliche Rolle sozialer Medien und berechtigte Oligarchen/Millardärskritik kommen nicht zu kurz. Unterhaltsam, aber mir ein wenig zu oberflächlich im Vergleich zu anderen Büchern dieses Autors. Nichtsdestotrotz lesenswert!
