Summary
Lennox is a troubled teenager with no family. Ava is eight months pregnant and fleeing her abusive husband. Heather is a grieving mother and cancer sufferer. They don't know each other, but when a meteor streaks over Edinburgh, all three suffer instant, catastrophic strokes...only to wake up the following day in hospital, miraculously recovered. When news reaches them of an octopus-like creature washed up on the shore near where the meteor came to earth, Lennox senses that some extra-terrestrial force is at play.
With the help of Ava, Heather, and a journalist named Ewan, he rescues the alien - who they christen 'Sandy' - and goes on the run. But they aren't the only ones with an interest in Sandy. Close behind are Ava's husband, the police, and a government unit who wants to capture the creature at all costs...

Loved it! Wonderful book, I’m so sad it’s ended!
I downloaded this after hearing about it on Between the Covers. I haven’t enjoyed a book this much in ages. I’m so sad it’s over but the ending suggests to me that there could well be another book so here’s hoping!

Well it's fiction and that fits very well !
I loved this book from start to Finnish .I listened to it all in one day .I don't know where he comes up with his story's because I couldn't come up with them .Sometimes a story just takes you on an amazing journey .It did not disappoint one bit it was just what I needed .What a fantastic writer who lives in portobello just outside Edinburgh .One of the most exciting places to live .I liked the reader and his voices .local Scottish accent so performance wise it's a no brainier .There's something a book that has been to many places we have as a family .I'm really glad he swears makes it more real .
So I loved it .............just too short for me .........lol

Pleasant surprise
I don't usually read/listen to sci-fi books but took a chance because I liked both the author and narrator. I loved this book, very different, and Angus King's brilliant performance brought humour, warmth and empathy to the main characters.

What a story!
Bought this after I read the details. Had never heard of the author but knew the narrator. Gave it a punt, and I am so glad I did.
An excellent yarn, well read. Pace is excellent, draws you along effortlessly. A real find from my viewpoint, will be picking up others by this author.
