Mike Baker HQ, 2026

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice of the author, Mike Baker, created with ElevenLabs AI voice technology. For his fiftieth birthday, Nick wants to play hockey beneath the northern lights. His teammates would settle for matching socks. At forty-nine, Nick has a marriage he loves, a thriving construction business, and a goldendoodle named Stanley who rarely leaves his side. He also has early-onset Alzheimer’s. In the locker room, his oldest friend has started remembering conversations Nick can’t. For years, Nick has dreamed of playing on a frozen lake in Iceland. Now he’s taking his family and the Spare Parts, the beer-league team he’s spent two decades losing with, to a tournament that means more to him than he knows how to explain. There will be beer. There will be questionable defense. There will be people who cross an ocean for him and still refuse to let him get away with his usual bullshit. Nick has always shown his love by taking responsibility. But as his illness progresses, making arrangements for everyone begins to collide with what his wife, Liz, and their daughter, Kate, actually want. In a near future where assisted dying is an available choice, the hardest conversations reach far beyond whether he has the right to decide. The Away Game is a funny, tender novel about friendship, marriage, and the complicated work of loving someone through a future you cannot fix. At its heart is a man who still has a game to play, and people determined to share whatever comes after.
