Publisher's summary

Heen Gru-Bares has been SERIES 5 for most of his adult life, traveling from planet to planet collecting data and filing reports for the CHAIRS, who run the universe.

And then he lands on the planet Firdus for his next assignment, and he meets Borns and Lan Zing and Ziga Mey and Dill Tudd, and something unsettling begins to stir within him, something unnerving and profoundly disruptive. Out of all the planets he's been to over the decades he's been doing this job, what is it about this one particular planet, Firdus, that so subversively affects him like it does?

And then Noon Yeah shows up, and he learns that she's a SIGN 7, sent to Firdus to do a graining, because of his failure to execute the task at hand—it's more than he can bear as what he thought was his life begins to unravel around him....

Will Heen make it through this devastating turbulence?

What will happen to Dill Tudd?

And is all of this a setup, one of the symptoms of a larger malaise that will continue to spread through the entire universe, unless someone does something to stop it?

It's a galactic saga of struggle and survival. It's an interplanetary tale of love, loss, and bread. It's book one of the where'd You Park Your Spaceship? series.

Welcome to Firdus.

Great Performance!

Best narration by an author ever! Like listening to your best friend reading an awesome book!

Fantastic story of life love and adventure

This fabulous book makes you think and smile and imagine how huge the universe is; all while introducing you to beautiful characters and possibilities. I admire Rob Bell for this creative writing.

Fun meaningful story, somewhat amateurishly read by the author.

Rob Bell fans will love everything about this book, content and style. Personally, I can’t quite decide whether I was more endeared or annoyed when the author stumbled over his sentences or butchered the names he had way too much fun creating (looking at you, Barbara Barabar). Don’t get me wrong: it’s a fun read, the story about grief, love, and redemption is oddly captivating. And Rob Bell is being Rob Bell. But at times I wish there’d been an editor, or someone who looked over the messed up formatting of the kindle version, or an audio person who’d dare to say, Rob, let’s do another take here.

Read by the author!

Loved the story and I kept listening to it , I never have listened so quickly to a book and plan on reading it again!

A mysterious, meaningful & multilayered book

I thoroughly enjoyed the unexpected twists, turns, easter eggs, humor, joy and sorrow. It's a difficult book to describe but I loved it. I can't wait to listen to the next book in the series. Highly recommend.

Great story! Rob Bell has an amazing voice.

The story was inspiring in an unusual way that cannot be described (so you just have to read it). I have never listened to a book quite like it, it was an incredible experience. Rob Bell has such a unique voice in his writing, and in the context of this book it fits very well. The novel feels personal and real. It’s an amazing listen!

Joy and tears

A joyful culmination of many Robcast ideas and thoughts. Thank you for writing and putting your thoughts in fiction where there is no controversy and only ideas

Heart on a sleeve, but a spacesuit sleeve!

I love that this book sounds just like I’m in the room at a real author reading. I like listening to authors read their own books because they put inflection and emphasis exactly where they meant to it to go.
As for the book, I loved it. I didn’t want it to end so I’m glad we were told this is a series. I can’t wait to hear what happens next. I’m new to fiction. I’ve been in a rut of reading non-fiction. This book is a great mixes real issues and aspirations into an imaginary world(s) and it brings up so much internal creativity.

A rosemary sermon lovingly baked into a loaf of delicious, intergalactic bread

I laughed, I gasped, I cried, I cheered. Several times I rewound to hear a certain line again and then would press pause to contemplate life for a bit. Characters as satisfying as a perfect pomegranate. An engaging story, full of that beloved signature Rob Bell sense of wonder and delight, that playfulness that quitely escorts wisdom into the room while you were busy laughing. A rosemary sermon lovingly baked into a loaf of delicious, intergalactic bread.

A truly delightful experience

I absolutely adore this book. The only person who I think was more surprised and tickled by reading it was Rob Bell himself.
