About this listen
"Unseen and hidden away in the dark, damp cellar within the house down dirt lane, a unseen presence stirred. It showed no preference for young or old, male or female, race, color, or national origin, mercilessly devouring all. It was a silent killer, often going unnoticed until it was too late."
Samantha, a young, bright analyst at the CIA, finds herself in a dire situation when her lifelong research reveals alarming information linked to atomic bomb testing. A monster created from the fallout poses risks to both the environment and the general population.
True events weave with political conspiracy as covert government forces close in, determined to silence Samantha forever. With her life hanging by a thread, can she outsmart her ruthless pursuers and expose the truth before it's too late?
In this gripping and suspenseful novel, fiction blends with real-life events, creating a fast-paced story. During the 70s and 80s lives were cut short by cancer, possibly linked to nuclear fallout from - more than one thousand US government atomic and nuclear tests conducted between 1951 and 1992 at the Nevada Test Site. The impact of these tests, previously shrouded in secrecy, was unveiled during a 1997 congressional hearing.
The creature in this book is a metaphor for cancer, an insidious disease that we try desperately to defeat but relentlessly returns and shows no mercy.This book is dedicated to the author's dear friends Kevin, Tracy, Jon S., Tammy, John H., and Brad. Each fought bravely against cancer, and all but Brad lost the battle at an early age. To the author's sixteen-year-old grandnephew, Cohen (Coco) Jones, your valiant battle against cancer inspires us all. For almost three long years, you have fought with an unbreakable spirit, a testament to his character and strength. Keep fighting, Coco, and know the love and support of your family is withyou every step of the way. To Jeff, To Jeff, departed too early due to other events, this book is also dedicated.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Story
I used to have it all. My ex-boyfriend and I were madly in love and dreamed of starting a family. When I found out I couldn’t have children, it broke me. Now, at my job at the fertility clinic, I give other couples what I could never have. The day my ex and his new wife walk into my clinic, my heart shatters all over again. He’s back. Now, I stand here with a syringe trembling in my hand and an impossible decision to make: Do I help them conceive a child—even though I know he’s keeping a dangerous secret? Or do I protect his wife—my patient, now—and take what’s rightfully mine?

This is not my house, and they are not my rules. So I step aside, and I let her in. Am I paranoid to think that she’s watching my every move? What am I supposed to do when she rests her head on my husband’s broad shoulder, a glint in her eye that only I can see?

WOW! truly amazing
First the Audio: Aaron Smith blew me away! What a talented reader!!! His voice is so distinct for each character and narrator and consistent throughout the book. I didn't get lost or distracted by the performance. He spoke clearly and was intriguing to listen to. Definitely will be adding him to my list! 10/10!! AMAZING!
Second the Book: I was excited to read this book because I lived in Brigham City for a while. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. WOW! I was not expecting that! It was amazing! I was so intrigued on the plot and characters I couldn't stop listening! I finished the audio book in 2 days! I loved everything about this book. the story lines are so different but when they all come together they fit so well. The author did an amazing job on writing a suspense/thriller but also an action book with FBI and CIA agents, government cover up, a monster and a little sprinkle of romance! this book has it all! AND IT ALL WORKS SOOOO WELL!!!!!!!! To top it off, there is no profanity, no nudity, and no vulgar language! I enjoyed every minute of this book!
I can honestly said I've never read anything like it! this year my goal was to read 40 books and this was my 40th one and I'm so glad it was! My bookclub will be reading this is January.
This is the Author's first book and I hope he keeps them coming because he has a lifetime fan!

Gripping Thriller
"House Down Dirt Lane" by Todd Hugie transported me back to my childhood, reminiscent of daring adventures and eerie old houses that peppered my neighborhood. The story evokes the thrill of youthful dares to knock on haunted doors, a step I never dared take myself.
Hugie's writing style, akin to Mary Higgins Clark, masterfully builds tension by shifting between characters at the peak of suspense. This keeps readers on the edge of their seats, eagerly turning pages to uncover each twist and turn.
The book is a captivating read for middle schoolers through adults. It follows kids on bike rides, exploring and getting into mischief. Simultaneously, it weaves in adult elements with intriguing characters like the older couple, the junkyard man, Elmer Fudd, and the thrilling CIA scenario involving Samantha and Peter. The tension is palpable, especially as Samantha is pursued and the swamp monster looms.
Aaron Smith’s audio narration brings depth to these diverse characters, particularly the old couple, Elmer, and the various operatives with deeper voices. This narration adds another layer of enjoyment, enriching the experience of the story.
Overall, "House Down Dirt Lane" is a thrilling blend of youthful adventure and adult intrigue, making it a gripping read for a wide audience.

From the Author; Enjoy House Down Dirt Lane
Many thanks to Aaron Smith; WOW, what a narrator!
Dear Reader, Thanks for getting my book. I had many friends pass away during our childhood. They were young. This book contains many true stories of our childhood adventures. It is dedicated to them. The book is written for young adults and adults. I hope you enjoy the fast-moving story.
In the gripping historical thriller "The House Down Dirt Lane," I explore the chilling metaphor of cancer through an unseen predator lurking in a damp cellar—silent yet brutal. This entity, much like cancer, strikes without mercy, affecting people of all ages, genders, races, and cultures, lying in wait for the right opportunity to attack.
The story centers on Samantha, a sharp CIA analyst uncovering dark truths about nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site. As she becomes a target of ruthless Atomic Energy officials, her desperate escape entwines her fate with a group of adolescents ensnared in the danger represented by the lurking creature.
"The House Down Dirt Lane" compels readers to confront and fight against the shadows that seek to overwhelm us.

Excitement throughout the entire book!
I read and listened to this book in one weekend. I liked and wondered why the chapters had different story lines and when the story lines came together, it was exciting and as it all fell into place. It ran like a movie in my head. Loved it!

If this is only his first novel, I'd better keep an eye on him.
I've never read anything quite like this before. the combination of stories from Todd's past, mixed into a thriller is unique. Even though the CIA plotline feels reminiscent of the kind of shenanigans you'd find in a Jack Carr novel, the most intense and stressful parts for me revolved around the misadventures of the hapless band of children. What I thought was a one-off novel, left me wanting more. what happens to our protagonists? Do they succeed? What price is paid in order for the truth to finally come out? Only Todd knows, and I desperately hope he shares it with us.
