Story
Graduate students from a local university are dying, and former lover and FBI agent Maggie Trent is the only person who believes their deaths aren't as accidental as they appear. But the truth can only be found in something from Corrigan Bain's past, and he's not interested in sharing that past, not even with Maggie. To stop the deaths, Corrigan will have to face up to some old horrors, confront the possibility that he may be going mad, and find a way to stop a killer no one can see.

Story
Corrigan Bain was retired. It wasn’t something he ever thought he’d be able to do. The problem was that the job he wanted to retire from wasn’t actually a job at all: Nobody paid him to do it, and nobody else did it. With very few exceptions, nobody even knew he was doing it. Corrigan called himself a fixer, because he fixed accidents that were about to happen. It was complicated and unrewarding, and even though doing it right meant saving someone, he didn’t enjoy it.

Story
Annie Collins is back! Becoming an overnight celebrity at age 16 should have been a lot more fun. Not helping matters: she’s the only kid in school with her own pet spaceship. She would love it if things found some kind of normal, but as long as she has control of the most lethal - and only - interstellar vehicle in existence, that isn’t going to happen. Worse, things appear to be going in the other direction.

A disease threatening the lives of everyone - human and nonhuman - has been loosed upon the world by an archenemy Adam didn’t even know he had. That’s just the first of his problems. Adam’s also in jail, facing multiple counts of murder, at least a few of which are accurate. He may never see the inside of a courtroom because there remains a bounty on his head - put there by the aforementioned archenemy - that someone is bound to try to collect while he’s stuck behind bars.

When Adam decides to leave the safety of the island, it’s for a good reason: Eve, the only other immortal on the planet, appears to be dying, and nobody seems to understand why. But when Adam - with his extremely capable girlfriend Mirella - tries to retrace Eve’s steps, he discovers a world that’s a whole lot deadlier than he remembered. Adam is supposed to be dead. He went through a lot of trouble to fake that death, but now that he’s back, it’s clear someone remains unconvinced.

Nothing last forever, though, and that includes the opportunity to do nothing. One day, unwelcome visitors arrive in secret, with impossible knowledge of impossible events, and then the impossible things arrive: a new species.

Dib is an Earthlike planet, only slightly smaller, with shorter days and longer years, in orbit around twin suns. On the continent of Geo, in the city of Velon in the nation of Inimata, a man lies dead in his study. In life, Professor Orno Linus was a world-class scholar: an astrophysicist, a dead-language linguist, and an expert in (and apparent true believer of) the religious concept of the Cull, i.e., the end of the world. Widely respected, nothing about Linus’s expertise suggests somebody might want him dead.

Civil war looms in the Bobiverse in this brand-new, epic-length adventure by Audible number one best seller Dennis E. Taylor. More than a hundred years ago, Bender set out for the stars and was never heard from again. There has been no trace of him despite numerous searches by his clone-mates. Now Bob is determined to organize an expedition to learn Bender’s fate - whatever the cost. But nothing is ever simple in the Bobiverse. Bob’s descendants are out to the 24th generation now, and replicative drift has produced individuals who can barely be considered Bobs anymore.

When a spaceship landed in an open field in the quiet mill town of Sorrow Falls, Massachusetts, everyone realized humankind was not alone in the universe. With that realization everyone freaked out for a little while. Or almost everyone. The residents of Sorrow Falls took the news pretty well. This could have been due to a certain local quality of unflappability, or it could have been that in three years the ship did exactly nothing other than sit quietly in that field, and nobody understood the full extent of this nothing the ship was doing better than the people who lived right next door.

Publisher's Summary
When Oliver Naughton joins the Tenth Avenue Writers Underground, headed by literary wunderkind Wilson Knight, Oliver figures he'll finally get some of his wild imaginings out of his head and onto paper.
But when Wilson takes an intense interest in Oliver's writing and his genre stories of dragons, aliens, and spies, things get weird. Oliver's stories don't just need to be finished: they insist on it.
With the help of Minerva, Wilson's girlfriend, Oliver has to find the connection between reality, fiction, the mythical Cydonian Kingdom, and the non-mythical nightclub called M Pallas. That is, if he can survive the alien invasion, the ghosts, and the fact that he thinks he might be in love with Minerva.
Unfiction is a wild ride through the collision of science fiction, fantasy, thriller, horror, and romance. It's what happens when one writer's fiction interferes with everyone's reality.
Unfiction is the latest novel from Gene Doucette, the best-selling author of The Spaceship Next Door.

Perfectly Captured Tone and Well Matched Wit
It's not uncommon for me to grit and white-knuckle my way through an audio book's questionable mode of narration for the sake of a good story. Unfiction was pleasantly absent of such a compromise. Author Gene Doucette writes with sharp wit and the keen observation of a true student of the human experience. With nostalgic nods to all our favorite old stories Doucette playfully spins a yarn that is contemporary and new yet warmly familiar.
Narrator Brad Wills captures Doucette's voice with impeccable timing and delivery. Clear and articulate, Wills delivers the story at a pace that matches the tone and feeling of the story: quick and abrupt when the action is hot, steady and deliberate when delivering the more introspective moments of the piece.
It's unfortunate that Wills is not the narrator of Doucette's The Spaceship Next Door as it is next on my list of must listen audio books, as I have enjoyed both the story and its narration immensely.
Listen close and look for the clues as Wills delivers the story of Oliver Naughton's constantly shifting reality in Gene Doucette's Unfiction. You won't be disappointed!

UNREALITY IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE
Rod Serling (The Twilight Zone) would be proud of the masterful story telling and performance of this unique and highly entertaining book that drags the characters and the reader through myriad clichés and tropes of sci-fi, fantasy, adventure, writer geeks, intrigue, chicanery and mixed mayhem and mystery mingled with flying alien bugs, dragons, magicians, sexual innuendo....all captivatingly managed with lighthearted, self-abasing humor, and hardly ANY run-on sentences!
Highly recommended!!!!

Wonderful.
I had no idea where the story was going. Or stories. It had me laughing out loud in places. The section where the protagonist was trying to write a romance had me cracking up.
I've been appreciating Steve Carlson's narration of Gene Doucette's other books and was surprised to find a different narrator. I almost didn't get it because of that and I would have missed out on this gem. Brad Wills was perfect for this book.
Keep writing books and I'll keep reading them. Or listening to them.

I’d like to wake up?
What a strange and compelling story. I went from wanting to get to the end of a short story, to waiting to get the the end of many short stories. I found the book exasperating and hard to put down. It wasn’t what I expected, but I enjoyed the journey. I have been working my way through Gene Doucettes library and have found all of the books enjoyable.

I had a bit of trouble getting into this story for the first couple chapters but I'm very fond of the author so I pushed through. I'm very glad I did this is probably one of the most creative weaving of stories that I've read in a long time! one of those books that you like more and more as you listen and are sad when it ends

This book sucked my will to live.
I'm normally a huge fan of Gene Doucette's and I hate even writing this review, but man I so dearly wanted my money and my 9hrs and 32mins back. The book actually starts out kinda promisingly, but between a terrible reading by Brad Wills and where the story eventually takes you...DEAR SWEET BABY JESUS I could not get out of this world fast enough. And what's worse is the book ends with...well, I'm not going to ruin what someone else might enjoy by giving away an ending. But, be forewarned, this is not a good representation of what has become one of my favorite authors works. I will continue reading (listening) and hope this was somehow a bad fever dream on both mine and the authors part. It would be a shame if someone started with this book and turned away from this author for not liking this book. Try some of his other stuff. The Immortal series RULES!!
