AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY AND INDIE BESTSELLER!
A spine-tingling standalone novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune—a supernatural road-trip thriller featuring an extraordinary young girl and her two unlikely protectors on the run from cultists and the government.
There's nothing more human than a broken heart.
In the spring of 1995, Nate Cartwright has lost everything: his parents are dead, his only brother wants nothing to do with him, and he's been fired from his job as a journalist in Washington, DC.
With nothing left to lose, he returns to his family's summer cabin outside the small mountain town of Roseland, Oregon, to try and find some sense of direction. The cabin should be empty. It's not.
Inside is a man named Alex. And with him is an extraordinary ten-year-old girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Artemis, who isn't exactly as she appears.
Soon it becomes clear that Nate must make a choice: let himself drown in the memories of his past, or fight for a future he never thought possible. Because the girl is special. And forces are descending upon them who want nothing more than to control her.

Kirt Graves skillfully performs a stand-alone sci-fi audiobook set in 1995. Nate Cartwright is surprised that his estranged parents bequeathed anything to him upon their deaths. Newly jobless, he takes the truck he inherited from his father and travels to his remote cabin, where he finds Artemis, an unusual girl, and Alex, the man protecting her. Soon Nate is embroiled in their ordeal. While the story is shared as a detached account of the past, Graves's performance captures Nate's inner turmoil, Alex's gruff protectiveness, and Artemis's peculiarities. Secondary characters are distinguishable from one another, though some are given more unique voices than others. Graves's tone and pacing keep the production moving forward as he provides an entertaining listening experience. A.L.S.M. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
