Book description
Imagine Jack Kernigan's life hitting rock bottom: kicked out of MIT, stuck back in Ohio running his family's business, feeling utterly ordinary. Then his truck smacks into something invisible-something that changes everything. Welcome to Dennis E. Taylor's Roadkill, a wild, laugh-out-loud audiobook adventure where your worst day becomes Earth's last hope.
Taylor, master of the sci-fi romp (and the Bobiverse series), delivers pure, unadulterated fun here. You'll hear Jack's voice crack with frustration as he's dragged into a galactic conspiracy, not with flashy heroics, but with sheer, coffee-fueled wit. His best friends, Natalie and Patrick, are equally relatable-no superpowers, just brains, heart, and the kind of banter that makes you lean closer to your headphones. And then there's Sheldon, their snarky, brilliantly voiced AI companion. The way the narrator nails Sheldon's dry, exasperated one-liners? Chef's kiss. You'll find yourself laughing out loud at lines like, "You're trying to solve a problem with a hammer and a prayer. That's not a strategy, that's a suggestion for a bad movie."
What makes this audiobook magic? It's the humanity in the chaos. Jack's journey from "mediocrity" to accidental savior feels real, not overdone. You root for him as he stumbles through alien tech, dodges bureaucratic nonsense, and-yes-demands his own spaceship as compensation for saving the world. Taylor's pacing is perfect: quick, witty, and packed with tension that'll have you hitting 'play' for just one more chapter. The narrator's energy is infectious, turning every coffee-fueled debate and near-disaster into pure, addictive listening.
If you loved the humor and heart of Bobiverse, Roadkill is a perfect next stop-a smarter, funnier ride where the real stars are the messy, brilliant humans fighting the unimaginable, one sarcastic AI quip at a time. Trust me: you'll be quoting Sheldon by the end. And honestly? You'll be glad Earth got rescued.
