About this listen

It's hard to fit in where you don't belong...particularly if you belong on a planet 2,500,000 light-years away.

Despite living on Earth for almost 30 years, Simon Armstrong knows he is not of our world.

Still, with his interplanetary mission almost over, he’ll soon be saying goodbye to a life he’s struggled to navigate and the humans he doesn’t much like. The only creature he’ll likely miss will be Merle, the antisocial cat he shares his home with.

Simon does, however, have a minor problem—he has no idea how They will orchestrate his extraction from our planet. With the threads of his earthly existence unraveling by the day, all he can do is wait patiently for a sign.

Then, with time running out, he stumbles upon a significant clue to his departure. What Simon doesn’t know is that clue could uncover a truth more arcane than any alien world.

Critic reviews

“With hints of Gail Honeyman’s Eleanor Oliphant and Matt Haig’s The Humans, Pearson’s latest gem is every bit as compelling as both. A fantastic story, superbly told.” (Gillian Andrews)

Different from other Keith A Pearson books & took a little longer to get into than some of his other books. If you find the same, do persevere as I felt myself really rooting for the main character & keen to know the outcome. Good narration by Sam Legg. Very enjoyable & highly recommended

Unexpectedly enjoyable

I’ve listened to most of Kieth’s books and for the most part have enjoyed them all. Perhaps less so this one but it wont won’t stop me from looking for his next read.

Ok
