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)

Unexpectedly enjoyable
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

Waiting In The Sky
This has been the final of all Keith's books that I have listened to. I have thoroughly enjoyed it! The title didn't grab me at first, hence leaving it until last. How wrong was I. Great story and narration. Roll on your next!

This was an unusual story and I really enjoyed it. The narration was also very good which always helps.

Another success
Yet another masterpiece from the author.
I have found myself spending money in credits not wanting to wait for the next month.
A great story well told.

10/10 for me
I dont agree this book is classed as science fiction in audible, but I understand why it was.
Simon Armstrong is a wonderful character! Mental health, neuro-diversity and self discovery are all key topics in this book. You will experience frustration, annoyance, humour, sadness, warmth and understanding throughout this book and I entirely recommend the read 📚 👌
