The Sol Majestic is a big-hearted and delightful intergalactic adventure for fans of Becky Chambers and The Good Place.

"A feast of a book.”—Hugo Award-winning author Seanan McGuire

Kenna, an aspirational teen guru, wanders destitute across the stars as he tries to achieve his parents' ambition to advise the celestial elite.

Everything changes when Kenna wins a free dinner at The Sol Majestic, the galaxy's most renowned restaurant, giving him access to the cosmos's one-percent. His dream is jeopardized, however, when he learns his highly-publicized "free meal" risks putting The Sol Majestic into financial ruin. Kenna and a motley gang of newfound friends—including a teleporting celebrity chef, a trust-fund adrenaline junkie, an inept apprentice, and a brilliant mistress of disguise—must concoct an extravagant scheme to save everything they cherish. In doing so, Kenna may sacrifice his ideals—or learn even greater lessons about wisdom, friendship, and love.

Utterly charming and out of this world, Ferrett Steinmetz's The Sol Majestic will satisfy the appetites of sci-fi aficionados and newcomers alike.

Exceptional Audiobook

Very well performed, James Fouhey brought all the characters to life across a very wide range, from the Barnum-esqe head of the Sol Majestic to the monk-like lead.

Sooo Good!

I don’t know why this book doesn’t have more awesome ratings! I don’t think the description did the book justice- “motley gang of newfound friends” made it sound like this was going to be a fun adventure like book but it was instead a thought provoking amazing journey. I enjoyed every minute of it going from highest of highs to lowest of lows with the characters. I finished the book feeling inspired. Do yourself a favor and give it a try 🥰

Wow - Surprising, Enlightening, Illuminating

Over and over I said, "I did not see THAT one coming. A great story with characters that surprise in delightful and heartbreaking ways.

Great audible book!

Overall it was a good book! I read it based on the reviews. Loved the ending and the narrator was phenomenal! James Fouhey was outstanding like normal. I don’t think I have ever listened to a bad narration by him. He is such a good narrator I’ll listen to almost any book if he is the narrator.
