Isaac Steele and the Forever Man

The Isaac Steele Chronicles

De: Daniel Rigby

Narrado por: Daniel Rigby

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

Agent Isaac Steele has problems. He spends all his splibs on drink and drugs. He has some deep-seated and very much unresolved issues with his parents. And his robotic partner at Greatest Britain’s Department of Clarification, Dr Timothy Stephens, is ruled more by his heart than his hard drive.

But all these issues take a back seat when Isaac stumbles upon a case involving the most sensitive information in the cosmos - a Never File, inaccessible to all except those with the highest clearance. He is expressly forbidden to involve himself. So naturally he does.

So begins an investigation that will take him across the Discovered Universe, into the path of the mysterious Forever Man, and eventually to answers about his past. Along the way, he will have to contend with aliens, robots, monsters, bureaucrats and, perhaps most deadly of all, his own numerous flaws.

Written and narrated by BAFTA award winner Daniel Rigby (Eric and Ernie, Flowers, Black Mirror), not since The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy have listeners been offered such a joyful, anarchic and insightful universe.

Funny and Original

Ok, so I’m hoping that there’ll be a few (or are) sequels to this. Well fleshed out characters and frankly nothing really like the introduction “warning” made one believe. No graphic gay sex, nothing else to worry about as long as you are not a prudish anti-gay A$$#**|. Not for juveniles but for certain violent concepts, not sex.

For me quite an odd story but good

I didn't know what to think at first but found I enjoyed the story

Most entertaining listen on Audible

Effectively like the advert says. It's a great intergalactic romp in line with Douglas Adam's Hitchhikers Guide except more of a commentary on the classic private eye Gumshoe detective with the added humor of internal government inefficiency.

All in all a great read, performed well.

One of a kind sci-fi

As an avid consumer of all versions of Sci-Fi, it was excellent to find something fresh and new. The narrator’s voice was great. The audio features were that of a radio show. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

So clever. So funny.

I don't think I have listened to an audiobook this clever or funny in recent memory and I have been an Audible member for 20 years. Daniel Rigby does it all with a story and an audio performance so good, that I don't want it to end. I'm so happy to have found his book and sad that there aren't like, a zillion more sequels. British humor might not be your coupa, but it is mine. Besides the humor and interesting characters, Rigby also creates so many cool alien and colorful concepts, that I will probably need to listen again to catch all the creative elements. I got this book through the Plus Catalog but I will gladly pay for more Rigby . . . like right now!

GOBSMACKED!!!

Great job Daniel! Thank you, you are destined for stardom.

What fun! I laughed! I cried! I went to the liquor store looking for Plube!

More! More! MORE!!

Excellent sci-fi detective comedy

This book was a blast! The brisk pace and snappy dialogue kept me hooked and I loved Rigby’s narration. Just well done all around. I hope there’s a sequel soon!

Very British

The story kept me laughing but I didn't like the narration. Although a good performance it seemed dry and monotone.

Fun

Fun futuristic story with unexpected twists and turns. The narration was perfect, the characters were hilarious, hope there's a sequel!

Great performance and nice humor

Well done book, I was left looking for more of Agent Steele adventures and wishing there was a movie about it.
