Summary

Anomaly examines the prospect of an alien intelligence discovering life on Earth. The technological gulf between humanity and the alien species is measured in terms of millions of years. The only way to communicate is using science, but not everyone is so patient.

Humanity's first contact with an alien intelligence is far more radical than anyone has ever dared imagine. With a technological gap of millions of years, mankind is barely able to recognize the arrival of an alien space craft outside the gates of the United Nations in New York.

Enjoyable listen

I found this audio book by accident and really enjoyed it! Great characters and well narrated! Would love to see more of the two leading characters in some sort of continuation of their adventure.

Ok story, emotionless narrator

The story was fine but I struggled with the narration. The narrator's voice was monotonous, hardly any emotions came through. The story also had some points where the characters described things as if they were writing a novel. I wouldn't expect a person in shock to speak like that. The concept was interesting and was nice to see the anomaly from different perspectives as well.

Nice original take

On a first contact scenario, enjoyed the characters and narration is good. This is the third of this series I’ve listened to and I’ll listen to more in due course.
