"Hatchet meets Lost in Space in this epic tale of survival, faith, and mystery! Fun, thrilling, and captivating, Jake Rogers' Planet is a great read for anyone, but especially for boys and young men. The tension between the elements of survival and the discovery of unique creatures on an alien planet is perfect and kept me turning page after page."—Joshua C. Chadd, award-winning author of The Brother's Creed

The ending tied it all together.

A story of insecure adventuring that takes all kinds of philosophical twists and turns for an inspiring dramatic ending.

Jake Rodger’s planet

What a wonderful story. Loved the narrator. Loved modern references. We all could use a little more God in our life! Give it a try you’ll not regret it. MES

Fantastic Story

We loved listening to the story on our recent trip to Albuquerque. My 14 year old daughter loves the Jep character and wants to get the book to read and absorb more of the story.

Star Trek meets Hatchet

I loved this book so much, that the second I finished listening to it, I immediately turned around and started it all over again with my kids. My 11-year old son in particular is loving this book, and every time we get in the car he asks to listen to it!

I don't know if it's Jake - the kid who doesn't quite fit in with his family and feels like he's living in his older brothers' shadows, a cross country and track runner instead of a football star, interested in bird-watching more than mountain climbing - or all the references to Minecraft and other video games that first captured his attention, but he is loving it!

When Jake falls through a portal into a totally alien world, he struggles at first to understand what has happened to him. Then he struggles to survive in this new and dangerous wilderness. His constant talking to God along the way feels natural and gives him someone to talk to, since he is all alone otherwise, and never felt forced or "preachy" - which my kids recently pointed out as something they noticed.

This book is part sci-fi, for sure... with some very Star Trek-style elements. But mostly, it felt like the wilderness survival type stories I read as a kid. It brought back memories of Hatchet, My Side of the Mountain, White Fang, and Call of the Wild.

Highly recommend to anyone who loves a good adventure or survival story. Very clean and family friendly. My kids, ages 8 - 17 are all loving it!
