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.

4.5 hearts

Due to an early wake up and getting right to my emails, I was lucky enough to get a working code to receive this audiobook on Audible from the author's newsletter. I love scifi and it is relatively short so I thought it would be fun.

The basics here are aliens coming to earth to see about colonizing it with humans as their food source. The aliens start by capturing people who are in remote areas like parks. They run some tests on them and also store many of them to eat. Clint is chosen, as a physicist, along with a few other scientists, for additional tests.

I enjoyed A Question of Navigation. What happens is uplifting and horrific. Without some humor, this would just be a horror story. Some of it is gruesome yet inspiring. Intelligence, heart and Science win in the end.

Narration:
Luke Daniels is brilliant. He has distinct, incredible voices for our characters including the aliens. He will always be a top favorite narrator of mine. I listened at my normal 1.5x speed.

A different Kevin Hearne Story

Overall a good Audible production. Luke Daniels once again nails it with his narration.
Gloom despair and agony on me and well you probably know the rest. To me that is how the main character is portrayed. I especially loved the endings little twist.

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

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.
