About this listen

The world needed a hero. Instead, they got Jack.

Dr. Erik Manheim needed a warrior. A Navy SEAL. Someone who could help him confront the threat he uncovered in ancient ruins—evidence that a rogue planet brings devastation every time it passes Earth.

Instead, he got Jack Schafer, a hungover bush pilot in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Now, Jack is swept into a mission he was never meant to survive—one that stretches from the Alaskan wilderness to the stars beyond. Humanity's future hangs in the balance… and its best hope may be a reluctant pilot who wasn't supposed to be here at all.

Accidental Astronaut is a gripping, fast-paced blend of survival thriller and epic science fiction—perfect for fans of Andy Weir, Michael Crichton, and James Rollins.

this was a great listen really enjoyed the story had me laughing quite a few times had me In suspense the rest, can't wait for the next book/s. p.s Scott aiello dose another great read

excellent storyline

The science and plot are wild. But the comedic self awareness really makes this book. Get ready for high octane hi-jinx with corny one liners coming at you like an artillery barrage. The accents had me cringing as much as the jokes. But if you want a fun filled ride very far away from reality than this book is for you.

Action, laughs and crazy adventure

Great new twist, I love the premise and the characters bring the narrative to life with a freshness that is a welcome change.

New and refreshing
