Publisher's summary

"Kirt Graves skillfully performs a stand-alone sci-fi audiobook set in 1995...Graves's tone and pacing keep the production moving forward as he provides an entertaining listening experience."—AudioFile Magazine

A spine-tingling thriller by New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, about a 10-year-old girl with an impossible power, her father, and an unlikely stranger, who come together to confront the dangerous forces that want her at all costs. A strange story of family, love, comets, and bacon. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things.

In the spring of 1995, Nate Cartwright has lost everything: his parents are dead, his older brother wants nothing to do with him, and he's been fired from his job as a journalist in Washington, DC. With nothing left to lose, he returns to his family's summer cabin outside the small mountain town of Roseland, Oregon, to try to find some sense of direction. The cabin should be empty. It's not. Inside is a man named Alex. And with him is an extraordinary little girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Artemis, who isn't exactly as she appears.

Soon it becomes clear that Nate must make a choice: let himself drown in the memories of his past, or fight for a future he never thought possible. Because the girl is special. And forces are descending upon them who want nothing more than to control her.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.

TJ Klune is as Amazing as Ever

TJ Klune is an amazing author with such a variety of books. This book was different from any others of his I have read/heard. It was a fascinating story with great characters. Kirt Graves did a great job narrating. I highly recommend this, and all TJ Klune books.

A beautiful story of what it means to be human

I loved this story. It hit all the feels. It’s a beautiful tale of love, family, grief and acceptance.
Kirt Graves is fantastic as always, he is so good at bringing characters to life.
My only criticism is the completely unnecessary vegan bashing. It had nothing to do with the story. One shot might have been overlooked, but multiple shots was obnoxious.
Read this story, listen to this story - you won’t be sorry.

A cute story about love and aliens

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It reminded me of how me and my now partner initially interacted and showed physical affection (no, he didn’t hold a gun to my head). I really enjoyed the intimate scenes. I have never read/listened to a book with explicit scenes like that. Well written and well read.

Incredible

TJ Klune is an absolute genius. I’m loving reading his back catalogue and each novel is better than the last. I highly recommend this book which explored what it means to be human and to love.

So good, I love this author!

I didn’t know what to expect. I really enjoyed <<House on the Cerulean Sea>> and I was not disappointed with this book either. Excellent characterization and just the right pace of storytelling. So freaking good, can’t wait to read what’s next.
