Dan Aykroyd makes his literary debut with this mind-bending, page-turning speculative adventure about a regular guy caught up in a battle between warring aliens, told with equal doses of humor, suspense, and cosmic intrigue.
Dan Aykroyd is an Emmy winning, Oscar and Grammy nominated actor best known for his roles in Ghostbusters, Coneheads, Trading Places, and Driving Miss Daisy, among many others. He currently hosts The UnBelievable with Dan Aykroyd for The History Channel for which he also serves as Executive Producer.
“A sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartwarming, and always clever, fast-paced, charming, and tense firecracker of a novel that could only have been written by someone who embraces the idea that we are not alone. I had a great time.” – Matt Dinniman, New York Times bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl
“Soulhider is thrilling and haunting. Dan Aykroyd raises questions about who we are, and why we’re here, all of it fantastically and beautifully told.” – Patricia Cornwell
Doug Beeston is an ordinary insurance adjustor in his mid-thirties, living an unremarkable life with his wife and kids in central New York State. Until one day, out of the clear blue sky, Doug is tapped by alien lifeforms to take on an extraordinary mission. The assignment? Hide the human souls they’ve harvested for mysterious reasons of their own in various locations across Earth—using his prowess as a risk assessor to assure their precious commodities will not go missing.
Doug embraces his responsibility with pride, believing he’s playing a crucial role in something far bigger than himself and enjoying the lucrative side of his new vocation. But as he soon discovers, he’s not just a courier—he’s a pawn. Multiple alien species are locked in a silent interdimensional rivalry, using Doug as an unwitting middleman in their cosmic chess game. The more he understands his role, the more Doug realizes that the fate of Earth itself may hang in the balance.
Channeling Dan Aykroyd’s signature hilarious wit and deep fascination with the supernatural, Soulhider is a high-stakes, hilarious ride that only he could write, exploring the unseen forces shaping our world—both terrestrial and otherwise.
