About this listen

A peaceful organization of civilized planets is faced with a threat to their very existence. Desperate to save themselves, they turn for help to the most brutal, backward, violent species in the known galaxy: humans.

Growing up in the aftermath of an apocalyptic event known as "The Bad Week" hasn't been easy for Cross Agarwal. Decades ago, in a world before The Bad Week, he would have been graduating from college, starting a career, and living on his own. But in a post-apocalyptic time when mankind is in ruins and on the verge of self-destruction, Cross works in his father's subterranean cobra farm, tries to avoid getting involved in the turf war between his town and the Southern Basin, wondering if his future will ever be anything but bleak.

When a group of aliens appears by surprise and invites a select group of humans to join them, it could be Cross's chance to not only find his own place in the universe, but to also help prove that humanity is good for more than just violence.

Love the characters, plot twist and story. Keeps you on your toes. Little bit of language but not too bad.

Zany enough to actually make sense!

I will read every book by Scott Meyer narrated by Luke Daniels. This is laugh out loud funny and Luke’s voices are amazing.

Another great book

I have followed this author for years. This sci-fi entry to his catalog, is 100 times better than the fantasy he usually does. Loved it!

Good intro to Cross

This is one of my all time favorites. It’s such a clever take on the high concepts involved and reads like a Wes Anderson screenplay.

Very creative story with lots of humor. Well developed characters that, although ridiculous, are believable. Luke Daniel’s, as always brings life to the story with a plethora of unique accents and personality

Fast paced and funny

Scott Meyer brings his unique brand of humor to this story, leading to a steady stream of unexpected dialogue and twists. Fans of his "Basic Instructions" webcomic will love this.

It opens with a post-apocalyptic setting, referencing the never-explained "Bad Week." I'm not much for post-apocalyptic literature, but the author is so funny I would have listened to the entire novel if that had been all. Instead, most of it is science fiction.

What can humanity offer the greater universe? Brutality.

I also appreciate the author creating more diversity, in physical form and motivation, amongst the alien races than are ever seen in most sci-fi movies.

Highly entertaining
