Summary

Brought to you by Its Majesty's Government. Greatest Britain: For a Global Universe.

Strap yourself in and maybe put on a crash helmet, Agent Isaac Steele has another case to crack.

The theft of the Best Idea in the Universe from Thresia's Intergalactic Bank of Ideas plunges the Discovered Universe into chaos. With a robotic partner who’s not the machine he fell in love with and a mind as cool and measured as a forest fire, Isaac must unravel a cosmic conspiracy that stretches further than the reaches of even his depraved imagination.

Earth and Thresia teeter on the brink of war as the race to recover the Best Idea intensifies. Yet in this bizarre Universe, truth proves stranger - and far more perilous - than fiction.

So put on that helmet and possibly add kneepads actually for a mind-bending journey through space, time, and the occasional bar in this latest adventure from the brilliantly warped mind of BAFTA winner Daniel Rigby.

Available in Dolby Atmos

The New Hitchhiker’s

I grew up a massive Douglas Adams fan, and this scratches an itch that I feel has been getting steadily more and more annoying for years. It’s silly, all over the place, but brilliant and creative. It’s just a really good time.

Somehow hilarious and serious

A hilarious follow up to the forever man, a true sci fi adventure if sci fi was always written by some sarcastic pillock trying to tell a story half remembered.

Fantastic follow up to book 1

Absolutely brilliant, again. A total gem which made me laugh out loud as well as deeply care about the characters. I’d love another please ?

Very dry and funny

This is a very weird and dry show, looking for to listening to more from this series. I can honestly say I didn’t see the twists coming.

More, I need more.

I love it's very British humour and for it to be free this time around was an absolute treat. Also loved the author in Flowers.

Brilliant sequel - more please!

This book is just as much fun as the first one. I love all the characters and will never not laugh at “and then my eye went big”. Hoping there will be a third instalment as it’s certainly set up for one. Only slight negative (and it’s so minor) is that the audio is glitchy in a couple of places. But none of it distracts from the story.

A fabulously entertaining sequel

This jumps straight back into the story, so was a great excuse to "pause" and re-listen to The Forever Man beforehand (which I enjoyed just as much the second time around). The characters are engaging and the story is well paced and very funny.
This series may not be for those that find swearing distasteful.... my language could make a sailor blush

Wonderfully and insanely imaginative

I have thoroughly enjoyed this second journey into the wonderful chaos of Isaac Steel's world. Daniel Rigby's narration of his own story is excellent. Looking forward to more 💖💖💖💖💖
