Accidental Astronaut

Accidental Astronaut, Book 1

De: J.N. Chaney, Rick Partlow

Narrado por: Scott Aiello

The world needed a hero. Instead, they got Jack.

Dr. Erik Manheim needed a warrior. A Navy SEAL. Someone who could help him confront the threat he uncovered in ancient ruins—evidence that a rogue planet brings devastation every time it passes Earth.

Instead, he got Jack Schafer, a hungover bush pilot in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Now, Jack is swept into a mission he was never meant to survive—one that stretches from the Alaskan wilderness to the stars beyond. Humanity's future hangs in the balance… and its best hope may be a reluctant pilot who wasn't supposed to be here at all.

Accidental Astronaut is a gripping, fast-paced blend of survival thriller and epic science fiction—perfect for fans of Andy Weir, Michael Crichton, and James Rollins.

A good story

Well performed and a good story to listen to. I give 4/5 fir this.

Flash Gordon by any other name

Even the nic name for the pilot is “Flash” Lion men forest prince a famous Ph.D and a powerful woman fun romp but it is a Flash Gordon Redux

Accidentally being kidnapped and becoming the hero.

Book could have been a little longer. Just as the best part started it was over.

It’s Flaah Gordon.
