Summary
The sun is dying. The temperature around the world is rising by the hour with no sign of any respite. At this rate the planet will soon become uninhabitable; all life extinguished. It might be weeks away, it might be days...we may only have hours remaining. Society is crumbling. The burning world is descending into chaos.
Steven Johnson's wife is hundreds of miles away and all that matters is reaching her before the end. He has to act now, no time to stop and think. Every second is precious. Tomorrow is too late.

A highly recommended listen
Listening to the ‘Straight to You’ audiobook during a covid pandemic has been an interesting experience. I went through this book during my afternoon “allotted exercise” walks; taking in the descriptions of a desolate landscape, humanity under threat by something out of their control was eerily close to points of 2020. What brought it more close to home was how the book starts, the first few hours of the audiobook concentrates on the relationship between the two protagonists with descriptions of the ever increasing heat peppered throughout, there is no sudden burst of sun that happens immediately like there would be in a Hollywood disaster movie but starts slow, in the background, some people taking it seriously and others acknowledging it and going about their daily business. Being months into covid all of this rings so very true in what happened, what was obviously a very serious thing was downplayed or ignored when people should have made plans and measures put in place much earlier. The relationship between the two characters, Sam and Steve, rings true, the dialogue between the two isn’t over the top nor overly dramatic and, with the rest of the writing is grounded much in reality.

Hot stuff
Another great story of people by David Moody, once again he shows his mastery of character building. Creating real people, flawed souls who struggle with their surroundings. This tale really opens your mind on the struggle of a man who leaves it almost too late to let his wife know how he really feels. A story of romance, heartbreak, and relationship trouble … oh and the word is ending as well. The narrator Matthew Jackson gives a worthy performance but lacks the listenability of some of the performances by others who have narrated David books; that said it didn't take away from the overall experience.

WOW!
Mathew Jackson brings this fantastic tale alive with his emotive reading of Davids story. The story is written beautifully taking you through the ultimate disaster tale while simultaneously focusing on the normal lives of the 2 main characters as the world falls apart around them. I loved every minute of it.
