Great Galactic Reset, The

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. The Great Galactic Reset is a fast-paced, action-packed, and surprisingly philosophical romp through the cosmos, where a grumpy space trucker, his sarcastic AI, and an ancient alien race with a terrifying agenda collide in the most absurd of ways. Meet Doug "Trucker" McAllister, your typical spacefaring blue-collar guy. He’s got a spaceship, a questionable taste in coffee, and a sense of humor that’s as dry as the space dust he’s constantly hauling. His days consist of hauling everything from suspicious crates to unpronounceable intergalactic cargo, all while trying to avoid any situation that might resemble "saving the galaxy." Unfortunately for Doug, that’s exactly what he ends up doing when he stumbles upon a mysterious, cryptic crate—and suddenly finds himself in the middle of a galactic showdown with an ancient alien race known as The Architects. The Architects, it turns out, have a serious bone to pick with humanity, and they’re hell-bent on resetting the species to something “less problematic.” It’s up to Doug—who’s really only interested in getting paid—to stop the reset and keep humanity’s mess-making potential alive. Along for the ride is Freddie, Doug’s AI companion, who loves to channel Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s soul and his dry wit and sharp, satirical tone. Think of Freddie as the perfect blend of snarky commentary, existential dread, and excellent advice—just without the mildly pungent body odor. With humor that walks the fine line between absurd and profound, The Great Galactic Reset is the kind of story that makes you laugh, think, and wonder just how far a guy with zero interest in saving the universe will go when he’s got an AI constantly reminding him that he has to. Warning: This book may cause unexpected existential musings, dry laughter, and a desire to never, ever haul illegal space bananas.
