Publisher's summary

Aubrey St. James is in trouble. She's locked in a cell at a government black site. She doesn't know where that site is or how the hell she got there. But she knows that it has something to do with the stranger she rescued from the river. Someone - or something - called Johnny.

Saul Tarson knows that the thing he's locked up is dangerous, because it left a trail of six dead cops in its wake, all killed in a way that defies explanation. It is Saul's sworn duty to get to the truth about Johnny before more people die - a lot more.

All Johnny wants is to return home. But he has a mission to fulfill first. And what he does in the next 20 hours will either save mankind - or bring it to its knees.

Johnny is the new breakneck science fiction thriller by Audible listener favorite D. J. Molles, New York Times best-selling author of The Remaining series.

Narrated by Marc Vietor with additional voices by Scott Aiello, Lauren Fortgang, Amanda Ronconi, Therese Plummer, and Josh Hurley.

Critic reviews

"Marc Vietor narrates Johnny's earthly adventure in a deep, sombre tone reminiscent of the voice-overs of televised stories of extraterrestrials....his portrayals of the resigned alien and the berserk agent make this alien breakaway compelling listening." (AudioFile)

Here's Johnny!!!!

Wow. What a ride. If this is indicative of the in-house productions from Audible, we all have a lot to be excited about. Great production, rollicking yes suspenseful story, and a classic ending ( with the promise of potentially more to come! )

A solid performance by Marc Vietor, a thrilling ride by DJ. Gosh, you sure can't beat it for the price either!

Highly recommended.

Good idea but stunted in development

Molles had a good idea here. Unfortunately it got a bit loss along the way. Too much detail in some of the escape scenes and not enough explanation of motives, thoughts of aliens resulted in a bit of disjointed feeling. The story could easily be expanded into something quite interesting but I really thought it was being written to be a tv script. Sorry!
While Vietor does a decent job with the voices, the last 'chorus' of voices just came across hokey. It was actually jarring at that point.

I will try the author again but I will be a bit more careful with my credits.

Great find

I was just bouncing around and found this book and just happy I did great little twist and turns. Wonder will this turn in to a series? ?

A good yarn with potentially interesting sequels.

The story starts at pace with hints of science fiction. Then there are miles and miles of really good story telling that is very well narrated but with little or no science fiction in sight. The story ends with a fascinating (science fiction) premise for future development. I hope this story line has a future. Recommended.

just no

to not give any spoilers, this was like re writing E.T. for the hundredth time. making the story and plot predictably boring.

Interesting premiss

Well done and the story line makes sense, but I would have shortened it some.

Inventive but slow.

The story was inventive. But the piecing was very slow. The descriptions were somewhat repetitive. The writer is very inventive in his descriptions.

Good story but it ended badly and to suddenly

It could have been a great story or the character development was superb and well thought out but not enough was done to tell about where they came from or how they got to be on earth. Yea it eluded to why but didn’t develop the idea. The ending was terrible. Just ended badly It was like he was done it’s the book and wanted to end it now! Yes I would listen to this again but I just wish the author developed that part of the story better.
