About this listen

Brought to you by Its Majesty's Government. Greatest Britain: For a Global Universe.

Strap yourself in and maybe put on a crash helmet, Agent Isaac Steele has another case to crack.

The theft of the Best Idea in the Universe from Thresia's Intergalactic Bank of Ideas plunges the Discovered Universe into chaos. With a robotic partner who’s not the machine he fell in love with and a mind as cool and measured as a forest fire, Isaac must unravel a cosmic conspiracy that stretches further than the reaches of even his depraved imagination.

Earth and Thresia teeter on the brink of war as the race to recover the Best Idea intensifies. Yet in this bizarre Universe, truth proves stranger - and far more perilous - than fiction.

So put on that helmet and possibly add kneepads actually for a mind-bending journey through space, time, and the occasional bar in this latest adventure from the brilliantly warped mind of BAFTA winner Daniel Rigby.

Available in Dolby Atmos

Worthy successor to Douglas Adam’s

Rigby is the only worthy success to Douglas Adams that I know of. The narrator also rises to the occasion. He adds a lot.

Oddball and quirky. Very enjoyable. Funny. If you’re looking for something new or different, this is it.

slightly wierd but quite entertaining

so you will have an idea on ocasi that the writer is taking the piss, a gun is a bang bang etc. but there is an interesting world to explore in the and the previous book. it's a highly entertaining read especially with headphones that support atmos

Utterly ridiculous and tremendously fun

Classic British humor and irreverence, an entertaining follow up to the first story in the series, I preferred the voice production in the first book better, that was easier to hear somehow, but it didn’t interfere with the overall experience. Highly recommend!

sam spade in spaaace

rigby fixes the one shortcoming in douglas adams-ish sci-fi : fleshed out characters.
steele is such a well realised character, as are the rest of the cast. continues to have phenomenal joke density, surprisingly poignant moments, and growing sharp political commentary.

Great humor

Well written and performed
Rigby is super talented and also is a great nickname for a quantum pet (prob a dawg)

SUCH A CLIFFHANGER, AHHHH

Another amazing, hella fun listen. I literally listened to it in a day— I COULD NOT STOP. I love this strange universe and all the strange, strange beings in it.

One of my fav things about this book was how different Steele had to approach life after losing his ~favorite coping mechanisms.~ The growth he seems to undergo is quite significant, and I’m SO excited to see where this leads. I’m waiting the next book with bated breath, because this one leads with SUCH a cliffhanger— I’m going crazy!! 😨

I can’t wait for more— these have been great so far and I’ll be listening to them on repeat, I can already tell.
