  • Summary

  • In this scripted comedy/sci-fi Audible Original, a quick-witted young blogger turned investigator, Cassie (Sophie McShera) travels to the sleepy English countryside, only to discover a paranormal threat beyond humanity’s worst nightmares. 

    Following a strange event, frustrated British paranormal researcher, Cassie Chambers is thrown together with uptight American, Glen Hedley (Adam James), an agent for a shady government organization. This mis-matched duo soon discover, not only do they have a mystery to uncover, but also they’re humanity’s only defense against malign ultra-terrestrials from a different dimension. With interfering locals, obstructive bosses and a fanatical cult getting in the way, and only Cassie’s best friend Amanda (Mandeep Dhillon) as reliable help, Cassie & Glen must figure out why this unique enemy is here and turn it back before it’s too late - for all of us.

    Cassie and Glen try to contain the fallout of their argument – with further arguments. Unsurprisingly, this plan proves less than effective and something terrifying gains a foothold in our world.

Cassie & Glen’s plight only gets worse when a new visitor arrives at the pub.

Great story for the most part

the story in places just felt a bit disjointed but it still felt like I wanted to finish the book. the actors made it feel like it was worth the listen to.

A witty and fun adventure and remarkably clued up

Funny and surprisingly accurate in its portrayal of both quirky ufo obsessed people (such as myself) and also the bizarre aspects of the UFO related phenomena and the paranormal ... all as background before the fun science fiction kicks in. Brilliant comedy! Loved it.

another first class original

Thoroughly enjoyed this story. It could be given to teens as well so I will reuse it. some sound effects are a little home made etc but look past this to the drama unfolding. a little like the ild TV series about strange things happening.
