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.

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 …

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.

Jan reviewed Außerirdisch by Dennis E. Taylor

Im Gegensatz zur Bobiverse-Reihe sehr enttäuschend...

2 stars

Als dieses Buch von Dennis E. Taylor rauskam freute ich mich sehr, denn seine Bobiverse-Reihe fand ich ausgesprochen interessant, kurzweilig und spannend. Leider kann das Buch nicht daran anknüpfen. Gefühlt handelt es sich um ein Kinderbuch - und dann wäre es einigermaßen ok. Die Protagonisten kommen sehr flach daher, sie essen regelmäßig bei McDonalds, Pizza Hut und Co, dass man meinen könnte, die Fastfood-Ketten hätten den Autor gesponsort. Die Story ist recht vorhersehbar und einfach gestrickt. Und das Raumschiff hat für quasi alles eine passende Lösung parat. Ich habe mich durch das Buch gequält und bin froh, dass ich nun damit durch bin.
