Live From Up There: A Comedy Thriller Out of This World
About this audiobook
What do you do when your career is over, your best days are behind you, and suddenly you're offered a ticket to space?
Miles Burry is a washed-up 1990s comedy star, surviving on nostalgia, small roles and the occasional corporate appearance. Then, through a bizarre chain of events, he's sent into orbit to become the unlikely face of a daily live broadcast to Earth.
Five professional astronauts aren't thrilled about having a comedian in their midst. But Miles soon discovers that something isn't quite right aboard the station. Locked areas, strange behavior and questions that nobody seems willing to answer leave him wondering why he's really there.
As the cameras keep rolling and the distance from Earth grows, the jokes become harder to tell and the mystery harder to ignore.
Live From Up There is a comedy thriller about fame, ego and paranoia — where the most unlikely person on the station may be the one who notices what everyone else has missed.

About the author
Tony Wilson is an Australian author who asks the questions others don't think to ask, and then refuses to let go of the answers.
His stories span wildly different worlds, but always follow ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances. What connects them is a cinematic eye, sharp wit, and a deep fascination with the unexpected.
He believes every great story starts with a simple "what if?" and that the most interesting answers are always the ones nobody saw coming.
