🧐 My rating: ★★★★☆ (4 stars)

Jack Kernigan is having a bad day…a bad year…a bad life. After being booted out of MIT, he’s back in his Ohio hometown, working for the family business, facing a life of mediocrity. Then one day, out on a delivery, his truck hits…something. Something big…furry…invisible. And, it turns out, something not of this Earth.

Fate can play funny tricks. Which is why Jack suddenly finds himself the planet’s best hope to unravel a conspiracy of galactic proportions that could spell the end of the human race. All Jack and his best friends Natalie and Patrick have to defeat an alien threat is their wits, a lot of coffee, and a rather snippy A.I. named Sheldon. Plus, their own spaceship.

After all, if you’re going to rescue the world, the least you can get out of it is your own spaceship.

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.
