God's Junk Drawer

De: Peter Clines

Narrado por: Ray Porter

God’s Junk Drawer is a mind-bending tale of mystery and adventure set at the dawn of time.

Welcome to the Valley …

Forty years ago, the Gather family—James, his daughter Beau, and his son Billy—vanished during a whitewater rafting trip and were presumed dead.

Five years later, Billy reappeared on the far side of the world, telling an impossible tale of a primordial valley populated by dinosaurs, aliens, Neanderthals, and androids. Little Billy became the punchline of so very many jokes, until he finally faded from the public eye.

Now, a group of graduate astronomy students follow their professor, Noah Barnes, up a mountain for what they believe is a simple stargazing trip. But they’re about to travel a lot farther than they planned …

Noah—the now grown Billy Gather—has finally figured out how to get back to the Valley. Accidentally bringing his students along with him, he’s confident he can get everyone back home, safe and sound.

But the Valley is a puzzle—one it turns out Noah hasn’t figured out—and they’ll need to solve it together if there’s any chance of making it out alive.

Pulling from Earth’s past, future, and beyond, Peter Clines has created a complex, dangerous world, navigated by a dynamic ensemble cast, and a story that is thrilling as it is funny and heartfelt.

Cline does it again.

li went onto this thinking it was going to be all of Peter's other books I have read. This isn't isn't a horror/Lovecraft story. That absolutely isn't bad thing! At its heart is a story about the love between a brother and a sister, and the lengths their bond drives them. Fantastic start to finish. Ray Porter as always kills it.

Peter Clein strikes again

As with other Peter Klein novels, this one takes the reader on a roundabout journey with multiple brilliantly, executed plot, twists. His look back method of character development as texture to the story, and is willingness to sprinkle it with gut punches makes the ending that much more satisfying..

best of the Cline books

First, you definitely need to download at least two of his older books, especially 14 and The Broken Room. Second, just enjoy.

didn't much care for the books where the only other character was effectively death.

this book is my favorite of them all

Excellent entertainment!

The story is well plotted and the characters are interesting to follow. And Ray Porter as the narrator? Perfection! My only issue (and it's a tiny one) is that it doesn't seem to leave a lot of room to revisit these characters in another book, which I sorely wanted as I was racing towards the end. I wish Mr. Clines had left it a little more open. Still fully recommend this title!

Great listen

Great story, it was well performed by Ray Porter. I burned through this one in just a few days.
