Welcome to the WBZ book Club.
I'm Jordan Rich. When it comes to

2
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:07.040
science fiction, most of us love
stories that are challenging, imaginative, and

3
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:10.919
in my case, fun, So
I have a very playful science fiction book

4
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:16.320
to recommend called Cosmic Egg Inc.
It's a first time novel by Marrow Andrews.

5
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.160
A young guy, a college kid
basically minding his own business, is

6
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:25.760
tasked with doing something rather astounding,
saving the world from destruction. He's college

7
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:29.000
sophomore Peter Kane, who, while
spending time on Long Island with his aunt,

8
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:33.280
comes across a strange messenger who tells
Peter he's got a big job to

9
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.960
save the world, and to help
him a wisecracking dog, not a real

10
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.119
dog, but one AI fueled.
His name is Sam, and he's the

11
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:45.640
perfect sidekick with catchy one liners about
pop culture that I really enjoyed, lots

12
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.479
of jokes and lots of surprises along
the way, including a very clever ending.

13
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:51.880
You don't have to be a science
geek to enjoy it. It's a

14
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:56.679
witty, playful story called Cosmic Egg
Inc. My first time writer Maro Andrews.
