Publisher's Summary
I'M LOST. I'M SCARED. AND THERE'S SOMETHING HORRIBLE IN HERE.
My name is Gary Rendell. I'm an astronaut. When they asked me as a kid what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said, "astronaut, please!" I dreamed astronaut, I worked astronaut, I studied astronaut. I got lucky; when a probe exploring the Oort Cloud found a strange alien rock and an international team of scientists was put together to go and look at it, I made the draw.
I got even luckier. When disaster hit and our team was split up, scattered through the endless cold tunnels, I somehow survived.
Now I'm lost, and alone, and scared, and there's something horrible in here.
Lucky me.
Lucky, lucky, lucky.

Can’t believe this was free. Best listen in recent memory
This was hilarious. A number of times I was laughing out loud like a madman in the gym or while driving alone. Adrian Tchaikovsky is a surprisingly excellent narrator. I’d give him 6 stars if possible. His portrayal of the protagonist was just perfect. Throughly enjoyed and will listen to again at some point. Thanks Mr Tchaikovsky

The humour. I thought the naration was great too.
Good story with a twist. Told with great humour and doses of realism amongst the fantasy.

Enjoyably diverting
Rendered ina very English understated humour.
Quite diverting and also well read.
Not pretending to be serious SF.

Short but conveys great breadth
Short but conveys great breadth and a fun play with tone and unreliable narration. Xxx

A disappointment
I've read many of Tchaicovsky's books, and am normally a big fan... but this one feels like a rushed, lazy job. Disapointing, flat characters, poor voiceover... (just pay someone).
It is not what you'd hope for this author. A waste of time, unfortunately.

Not as advertised....
This is a novel concept, well written, well narrated. But the moment you spot what’s happening, if you were expecting a sci-fi novel, things become quite uncomfortable. This is a psychological horror story. If that’s your thing, you’ll note the story turns and expectations turn downhill rapidly. It’s not mine, and I’ll be returning it, but if it’s yours, enjoy!
