K-Pax

By: Gene Brewer

Narrated by: Tom Casaletto

Imagine a time and space traveler from another planet. One that looks human and exemplifies the ideal world he comes from, a world free from human nature's greed and cruelty. That creature would be "prot", as he calls himself, the newest patient at the Manhattan Psychiatric Institute.

Prot seems to know more than he should about faster-than-the-speed-of-light-travel. And besides drawing constellations as viewed from K-PAX, the name of his home planet, "prot" can describe its orbit around double suns in unpublished detail. Who is "prot" and where did he really come from? Why does he have the ability to cure severe mental cases? And to disappear at will? And to charm everyone he comes into contact with?

Bizarre delusion or reality? Listen in as a psychiatrist who specializes in delusional behavior documents his sessions with the man from K-PAX.

loved it! ive listened to it 3 times!

this is such a great story and the performance is amazing. i have to look for more audio books by the author and performer. wonderful!

deep story

amazing novel, better than the movie, most of the time reading a book before the movie is better, but I will say watching the movie first, did help me with the novel, it made it much easier for me to understand the story and think deeper about it without having to listen again and again, and I found myself more interested trying to find the differences between the novel and movie of which there are many. beautiful story, can't wait for the next one

Better than the movie!

I really liked the movie, but the book was a titch better with the added backstory. Great read!

Dense and unpredictable story

This story had me guessing all the way through. At first I found it too dry, but I’m glad I gave it s chance.

Most unusual story

This is such a heartwarming story . What the human mind can do is an amazing thing ….
