Summary

When a mysterious invisible barrier appears on a Montana ranch, no one knows what to think of it.

Drake, a retired police detective, receives a call in the dead of night from an alien-obsessed podcaster. He hastily departs for Montana the following morning.

The phenomenon continues all over the globe. What are they? What do they mean?

Britt is on assignment for a digital magazine when she encounters one of the Glass in a tragic boating accident, leaving her no choice but to follow the lead. Panic ensues as mysterious creatures are sighted.

Will has never left the relative safety of his small town, having begun to accept a life he doesn’t want. Now he must venture into the unknown with the girl of his dreams.

The Glass seem innocuous, until they start to glow…

Ransom, a washed-up Broadway actor and single father, tends bar in the Upper West Side. His daughter shares his knack for knowing things, and they head west as their intuition guides them to the source.

Together they must discover the truth behind the Glass, or risk losing their world forever.

The Other Place is an epic post-apocalyptic science fiction tale from the best-selling author of Lost Contact and First Life, brought to you in audio format by award-winning narrator R.C. Bray.

story dragged a bit

the story could have been half the length and still acheived the same outcome. some plot points feel like they need more detail and some a lot less.
there were more than a few editing/narration mistakes which made it difficult to focus as I kept pulling my phone out thinking I had scrubbed/skipped parts.

its alright

This book was alright, nothing amazing.
The narration is flawless as usual.

There's a few moments in book 1 that grabs you, which is enough to get you on to book 2.

Great Listen

I love Nathan's writing and this story is full of detailed characters and a page turning (ear turning ???) storyline.

RC Bray narrates it extremely well providing depth to these characters.

Highly recommend!

erm...Gerrard is a knob...

not feeling that name at all...maybe it's a personal dig at a previous review...
However it's a fantastic book with a trio of adventures brought together with masterful writing...
I highly recommend CAST UNDER AN ALIEN SUN by OLAN THORENSEN...

Quite the adventure

I don’t think this book has any swearing in, which is unusual for science fiction with quite a lot of horror. But it worked. No need for the swearing. I wasn’t quite sure if this book was great, it was good enough as an adventure, just a bit all over the place. I guess that means it’s got twists and turns, but really it’s confusing. And annoying with there being so many unanswered questions that are blatantly ignored. I’m not sure about the prophetic dreams either. It’s like throwing a tarot card reader into an alien science fiction story, it just doesn’t work for me. I think I’ll just treat this as one adventure without going onto the next in the series. This one had a tidy enough ending. That’s good at least.

Such a great book!

Had me hanging on to find out what was going to happen. Great characters, detailed but not to much.
Small snippets of information to work with without giving anything away and yet another knock out from R C Bray!
