Earth Bound

Matt Granger was once a star journalist until his career imploded five years ago and he was relegated to newsmen’s purgatory - cruising the countryside writing tabloid fodder for the masses. But for Matt and his team, one of these stories is about to become very real.

Now Matt would learn what it means to be taken. Now Matt would discover that there really is a truth out there, one that nobody had ever suspected. His team wasn’t the first and that begged the question: why had no one else returned with this truth before?

Time is Matt’s enemy and he needs answers, especially for what he really wants to know: Can he survive?

Earth Bound is a brilliant ride! Reminiscent of Michael Crichton, Taylor plays with readers' minds in a compellingly vivid story full of gut-writhing suspense. Written so that the reader is engaged in every moment of Matt's experience, it is breathlessly real. Anyone trying to anticipate where Matt’s journey is headed soon finds that Earth Bound is wildly unpredictable, building to a finale that is utterly shocking.

“A witty, fast-paced novel about a hack journalist and an unbelievable headline come to life. Taylor renders the psychology of the younger Granger in an authentic, competent indirect discourse; Granger’s thoughts, observations and anxieties are at once charming and exasperating as his witty, keen consciousness charms readers to his side…Taylor writes carefully and craftily in a story that pays homage to the absurdity and pathos at the heart of a culture that wishes crop circles were more than just pranks on a grand, if not cosmic, scale.
A romp through mystery, science fiction and popular culture that will please readers looking for a smarter breed of fantasy.” - Kirkus Reviews
