A Question of Navigation

De: Kevin Hearne

Narrado por: Luke Daniels

The only favor the aliens do for Clint Beecham when they abduct him is give him a shirt that says "Do Not Eat" on it in their language. He’s told that as a physicist, he is to be reserved, along with five other scientists, for a mysterious purpose.

But 50,000 other humans on board the interstellar scout ship are scheduled to be butchered and frozen, a food supply for the long journey to the alien homeworld. Clint and the other Reserves can’t stand by and let that happen.

Ayesha is a biologist and Deepali a geologist; Oscar is a meteorologist and Gregory specializes in robotics; Hanh is a researcher in marine biology. Together, they’re humanity’s last unlikely hope. Because if they don’t find a way to stop the ravenous aliens from reporting that they’ve found a planet full of delicious creatures to eat, the 50,000 humans on board will only be the first of billions: the entire Earth will become an all-you-can-eat buffet.

a great short story

this was a very funny sci-fi story. it was intence for how short it was. i did NOT care for the blooper chapter at the end

Like

Very good relatively short story. Introduced new characters and villains with a lot of the predictable Kevin Hearn humor I was very entertained would’ve liked a more definitive ending.

Awesome

loved it, wish it was longer, a very fun and dark scific short. I love that it showed the humans going all in and really stepping up no matter what. Luke is perfect as always.

Loved it

I wish it was four times the length. Write more sci-fi please, great storytelling and characters.

BLOOPERS!

As always Mr. Hearne, you are keeping my family entertained & very inspired. As for You Mr. Daniels, we all forgive you for our flood of tears from laughing so hard with your much loved bloopers. Thank you Both forever!
