WHEN THE MOON HITS YOUR EYE

Wil Wheaton narrates the newest comic sci-fi novel by John Scalzi. When the moon unexpectedly turns to cheese, humanity has to deal with the aftereffects. Wheaton chronicles the reactions of a sweeping cross-section of Americans during the first lunar cycle post-change: Scientists and government officials, billionaires and moguls, cheesemongers and retirees--literally everyone is affected. Wheaton's occasionally bombastic style excels at highlighting the general absurdity of the situation, but he also proves adept at the quietly powerful scenes; for example, when the pastor comforts his congregation, who are grappling with doubt about the nature of salvation, and when the terminally ill former rock star chooses to end his life on his own terms. Equal parts hilarious and comforting, Wheaton's narration is an all-around delight. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2025]
