Publisher's summary

Do you ever hear anything when you listen to the sound of running water? Something other than the sound of the water itself. Shandon Ray does. As a child growing up in Maine, he realized that he had a connection to the substances that made up the world around him unlike anyone else seemed to have. For fear of becoming a total outcast, he kept this secret to himself and did very little to expand upon his strange ability.

As an adult, he’ll need to expose himself for what he really is and learn to harness these abilities quickly in order to help save the planet from an all-out invasion by aliens who are looking to massacre humanity and take the planet as their own. Can one man stand alone against an entire alien race bent on domination and destruction? Listen to I Talk to Atoms by Pete Gustin to find out.

I felt the playfulness

I felt the playfulness all through the story. It was so fun and flowing. The concepts were amazing! I didn’t get bogged down in many details, and of course a voice I grew up with :) ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

wonderful as always

Pete is a fantastic storyteller, and this book is no exception. I started this book and finished it the same day... I didn't want it to end. I am really hopeful that he will continue to create these magical worlds and fantastic characters.

Inventive and original

This is a very satisfying book for fans of classic science fiction. The central character is appealing in his vulnerability and uniqueness. Gustin is wonderful as as a voice actor - each character’s personality and characteristics are distinct and relatable. Truly original story - I read it in one day.

Perfect in every way

What a fantastical story, with adventure, excitement and humor. The narration of this tale exceeds every other story I've ever listened to. If you like wonderful characters and Sci-Fi, read by an amazing narrator, get this book. You will love it.

Great read, I really enjoyed this one

This was an interesting concept and honestly I wasn't super confident on where it was going in the beginning, but seeing the character growth through the whole story really pulled me into the book. It's well written and well performed great job Pete! I would love to listen to a sequel to this one day I think the door is open for (potential spoilers warning) more people who can talk to atoms and maybe they could wind up working together to repel the inevitable return of the aliens. Keep up the good work I've enjoyed all 3 of your books and I'm a regular YouTube viewer/subscriber for your videos.

I couldn't stop listening

The story is so captivating, I had to listen to it in one go. Shandon is an incredibly relatable character. I'm crossing my fingers for a sequel!

Excellent

A great story
Great characters.
Thoroughly enjoyable, and I am now looking for more books by Pete
Very clear to see the character grow and watch that development was thoroughly enjoyable

Pete hits another one out of the park!

I finished this wanting more. Seeing Shandon grow into his powers was the best listen I’ve had in a while. I hope Pete finds the time to visit again.

Wow!

I chose this as my first book of the new year. I can already tell you that this will be one of my favorite books this year! Just wow! I discovered this author/narrator on tiktok. Pete Gustin is a blind guy the enjoys surfing. Yes, you read that right. Then I find out I've heard his voice many times, as well as most of America. He does a lot of voiceover work for movie trailers, commercials, and the NFL. Through his tiktok I found out about his newest book, I Talk To Atoms. I had to check this out! He's also written two other books I've already bought and plan to start soon. One is narrated by him and the other is from a female perspective, so he has another narrator. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who loves sci-fi, superheroes, alien invasions, or just a good fun listen! I really hope Gustin plans to write a sequel to this book. If not, I hope to listen to more of his work very soon!

superhero cute

Pete's naivety and endearing vulnerability permeates his sonorous performance. The story was a little basic and could have used a little fleshing out but the characters were awesome. My mother heart was warm and smiling. MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING, and I really hope there is an "I talk to atoms too!
