Summary
An ordinary family man, geologist, and Mormon, Soren Johansson has always believed he'll be reunited with his loved ones after death in an eternal hereafter. Then, he dies. Soren wakes to find himself cast by a God he has never heard of into a Hell whose dimensions he can barely grasp: a vast library he can only escape from by finding the book that contains the story of his life.
In this haunting existential novella, author, philosopher, and ecologist Steven L. Peck explores a subversive vision of eternity, taking the reader on a journey through the afterlife of a world where everything everyone believed in turns out to be wrong.

Unexpected with layers
absolutely loved this book, I've listened to it 3 times now. Well read with clarity and a nice pace. The way it is written wraps you up in the story which is brilliant, fresh and thought provoking. Just disappointed there is not more books by this author!!!

Meaning in chaos?
If you feel like you've been endlessly searching the library of Audible, take a moment to stop and read this one. Meaning wrapped in absurdity wrapped in infinity. This book has a haunting quality that will stay with you for years. This is my second reading, it has been many years since my first read, and it's just as good as an audiobook.
If you're interested in philosophy, infinity, and the mystery of existence, you'll enjoy this.

Gripping
I was hooked from start to finish and listened to this in one sitting. This is one of the better audiobooks on this site - the narrator is perfect and the story is fantastic. Well worth a credit.
