Roadkill

Author: Dennis E. Taylor
Genre: Sci-fi
Released: 04 August 2022
Rating: ★★★★☆

Jack Kernigan, a down-on-his-luck delivery driver in Ohio, hits something large, furry, and invisible with his truck. It turns out to be an alien — and suddenly Jack finds himself at the centre of a galactic conspiracy that could threaten the entire human race. A fun, quick-paced standalone sci-fi adventure from Taylor that combines his signature humour with a genuinely engaging first-contact scenario.

I’ve read many of Dennis E Taylor’s books at this point and I generally enjoy them. He isn’t the kind of writer to build massively detailed fictional universes, like Sanderson, but he is great at writing immediately enthrawling sci-fi, and Roadkill is no exception.

It’s a short book, at only 300 or so pages, so can be read in a few sittings. Which I did, because like his other books, I couldn't put it down.

Another really enjoyable read from Taylor; well worth a look.

The latest Bobiverse book recently came out, so I think I'm going to read that next.
