Publisher's summary

What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning?

Half the world would become trapped in endless night, the other half in relentless day. Global communications would be crippled. The oceans would migrate to the Earth's magnetic poles, and global tremors would threaten the stability of the entire planet. In other words, things would be bad. Very bad.

That's what happens in Skybound. And the clock is ticking.

The world is in chaos. Theories about the impossible phenomenon run the gamut from broken physics to little green men to the dawning of the end times. But everyone agrees on one thing: The massive metallic object that suddenly appeared in the sky is to blame.

In his debut novel, Lou Iovino weaves a modern-day fable that traces the path of two small-town siblings who find themselves thrust into events that will reshape humanity, and grappling with the question that has plagued mankind for eons: What's up there?

Not what I expected

This was not what I expected, the story had more low points than high points. The dramatic high fell short with me and the ending left me with more questions than answers. I’d give it a higher rating but I feel I was left hanging without closure.

Good reader, decent story, fun sci-fi, flat ending

The story was exciting enough to keep me listening and interesting enough to get me googling locations and some of the science behind the fiction. The characters were diverse in background and ethnicity which I appreciated. The voice actor was very good and kept me at the edge of my seat on several occassions. Overall, entertaining and worth a listen but I found the ending to be unsatisfying, thus my three star rating instead of four.
