Resumen del Editor

Adrian Monk has journeyed into the realm of the cult science-fiction show Beyond Earth, where he meets fans just as obsessive-compulsive as he is. Monk is at their convention because there may be a killer lurking in the Beyond Earth community: someone in a starship uniform has very publicly gunned down the show's legendary creator, Conrad Stipe. Could a fan be that furious at him for selling out to an exploitative Hollywood producer? Or is there more going on behind the scenes in Stipe's life?

Crack another case with Monk.

Excellent!

Another great Mr. Monk book! The story was extremely enthralling with excellent narration. Highly recommend.

OK Book

The book was OK, but the end didn't make sense. Apparently, some pages were skipped because Natalie was in the building, in the car, then in the building again. And she mentioned driving through the window, which never happened - at least in the reading it didn't! Please be sure the entire book is read; otherwise, why are we buying them from Audible???

Seed's view

Classic Mr. Monk. I think I lost some of the ending so will listen on cloud and re-download if necessary. Otherwise great story.

Who changed the channel when its getting good!?

What made the experience of listening to Mr. Monk in Outer Space the most enjoyable?

I have always been a fan of the Monk TV series and continuing books. This story follows Monk like you would expect. One thing is that it goes into a more complicated plot than a TV series would have allowed.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Mr. Monk in Outer Space?

Mr. Monk attend the Sci-Fi convention is classic. I also enjoyed revisiting the Monk brothers relationship.

What three words best describe Angela Brazil’s voice?

Clear, Sweet, Comfortable.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The universe is going to get a serious cleaning.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the book but was very confused by the conclusion. At the height of the action at the conclusion, there seems to be a good 5 minutes missing from the story. There is a jump cut of Mr. Monk and Natalie at the security desk getting a look at the killer to Mr. Monk sweeping up glass and Natalie's car spontaneously moving from the street where it's parked to inside a building somewhere. I had to look up the book on Wikipedia just to figure out what happened. I wonder if anyone else's recording was similarly flawed. This is the single reason why I only gave the performance 3 stars. I would have rated it higher otherwise.

True To Character

I actually stumbled upon the Monk books on Audible by accident. But they are well done. They maintain the characters like the TV show (or vice versa as the case may be). Lots of little giggle moments in there. Recommend them all.

Monk vs nerds

This one was a little hard to get through. Not going to go into spoilers here but when you expect Mr. Monk to have issues with germs, nudism, even odd numbers. When confronted by someone he knows who is part of a cult following, Monk becomes as cold as Stottlemeyer. It was interesting to see Monk show this side of himself. The murder and mystery were quite interesting to listen to. My only complaint was listening to Monk be so far out of character.

Too much filler

As other reviewers noted, part of the story near the end is left out. Other than that, I have two chief complaints: 1) There's WAY too much time taken up by Natalie's constant musings over things like her situation in life and what makes Monk the way he is . 2) Compared with the TV show, Monk is just too annoying in the book. His character annoys people in the TV show, but there is almost always a degree of humor in it. Few instances of Monk's being annoying in the book are amusing.

Gotta love Mr. Monk

A comforting and easy to listen to story about Mr. Monk and Natalie. Love every one!

Hello ComiCon

Truly a Monk tale. Not the greatest but still will have you laughing and guessing. Lay back relax, just listen.

Good Overall

Liked the book. The overall story was good. HOWEVER Lee Goldberg’s writing seems to be “fat-phobic.” I do not like that and it turns me off to the rest of his books.
