  • 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.

in the spirit of The Hitchikers Guide books.

A terrific story, well acted, and funny. a fun cast with tongue firmly in cheek. I very much look forward to any continuing adventures of Cassie and crew. Highly recommended for fans of the genre.

Hilarious and witty!

Loved this "audiobook". Acted out by a huge, amazing cast, instead of just read to you by a narrator, this book was thoroughly entertaining with some of the most humour-filled dialogue I have ever listened to. I laughed out loud dozens of times. But also a great story and enjoyable characters.

Fun, decent quality.

Wacky hijinks and mad strangeness. Enjoyable characters and narration. Uncomplicated and somewhat unrefined. Will listen to season 2

Great fun

I thoroughly enjoyed this Audible treat. Fun story line, engaging plot and entertaining characters. I found myself listening to several episodes back to back as I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next.

The voice actors were excellent and really brought the story to life. A top production in the tradition of first rate radio plays.
