Summary
"You were on your way home when you died. It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me. And that’s when you met me."
A short story about the universe.

interesting concept
nicely read. very relaxing voice. and an interesting idea. but, I still feel an 8 minute rendition can't be classed as a book. nor a story. it's barely a page! and I genuinely think this should of been FREE. perhaps as a taster... for the main event? which maybe Andy should write. based on this idea, he could write a super Novel I'm certain. so... come on Andy... let's write something thought provoking, and interesting about this God? who is he? where's he from? and if one soul is EVERYONE in this universe. who is the soul in the next universe? and the next, and the next? there is a higher purpose here... tell us your thought's on it, make it at least a 10 hour book. and maybe, just maybe this idea will be snapped up by Ridley Scott too! but I doubt he can do much with 8 minutes..

An odd but interesting look at life.
I got this after riding the high from the Martian, while it is utterly different I am not disapointed. 8 minutes, what do you have to lose?

Really?
An interesting 8 minute snippet, describing the kind of philosophical SF conceit that Arthur C Clarke et al would have popped in to a book of short stories. Of course it's well-written and beautifully told - but £1.92p's worth (more for new subscribers)?
Sorry Audible - this should have been a freebie taster. It truly is a teeny weeny rip off I'm afraid.

Intriguing
What an intriguing premise. And so well conveyed in such a short story. I enjoyed it so much I listened twice!

Very cool little short story, with a nice premise.
Not at all what I had expected, but left me with a nice feeling, and is worth a listen (though 8 minutes for the money is a rip off...)

interesting concepts but only a few minutes long
I was a bit disappointed overall the story had an interesting contact but hardly lasted at all so I wouldn't bother

Short but sweet
Really enjoyed it the concept thought it was very interesting. A nice teaser and I get that's the point. just wish there was a full length book.

Interesting
An interesting idea which I believe could be expanded upon as the story is over all to soon. A good performance by Mr Bray as always.

Odd!
I really enjoyed the Martian so thought I'd give this a whirl.
Really it was odd - nowt nor sommat, as they say. I wish that I had listened to the sample - as I would have realised that it wasn't for me. The book is actually only 8 mins long - so the sample does give a real indication of whether or not one would enjoy it.
