Book description
After the Fall by Edward Ashton - A Refreshingly Twisted Take on Alien Domination
Let me get this straight: what if the aliens won, but they're just as broke and dysfunctional as we are? Edward Ashton's After the Fall flips the script on post-invasion narratives with a sharp, darkly comic audiobook that's equal parts satire, sci-fi, and survival story.
The story follows John, a human "pet" living under the care of Martok-a gray alien who's supposed to be one of the "good" ones. But Martok is broke, erratic, and now he's gambled away John's bond to buy some abandoned house in the woods. Suddenly, John's not just navigating a world where humans are at the bottom of the food chain-he's also stuck playing detective, mediator, and potential hero in a mess involving shady underworld figures, feral humans, and something genuinely dangerous lurking in the trees.
Ashton's writing is snappy and full of dry humor, and the audiobook format really brings out the personality in each character. You'll find yourself laughing at the absurdity of it all, even while the stakes keep climbing. It's not every day you get a story that questions what it means to be domesticated, all while delivering genuine moments of friendship, desperation, and rebellion.
If you're into offbeat sci-fi with a side of biting wit-think The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy meets Station Eleven-then After the Fall is well worth your listening time. Ashton has crafted something weird, wonderful, and surprisingly heartfelt.
