About this listen

From the author of the Themis Files and the Take Them to the Stars series comes a new, riveting story of first contact.

What kind of message would you have sent into space?

I wouldn’t have.

Why not?

Because they might hear it, and then they might come.

A mysterious radio signal is picked up from a neighboring star system. A group of experts is brought to the floor of the Grand Canyon to investigate its origin and its meaning as the planet suffers one natural disaster after another. Cut off from the rest of the world, they must question everything, including each other, if they hope to solve the mystery.

What they discover could be the difference between life as we know it—and the end of the world.

I enjoyed this tremendously while driving to Germany. Finished it on my way there; it made the trip more pleasant and shorter.
A group of scientists are asked to decipher a code that might have been sent by aliens.
We read / listen and discover what that has to do with some highly unpleasant things happening around the Earth.

This audio drama just randomly popped up as a suggestion. I had no expectations whatsoever. Honestly I thought it’d be boring. Oh how wrong I was. A must-listen. Sci-if, romance, drama and comedy all in a 2,5 hour long package. Absolutely lovely ending as well

Just lovely

Something a bit different for me (narration by the cast) but enjoyable all the same. Intriguing start and a bit of light humour throughout makes it an easy listen.

Entertaining

What a pleasant family listen on this 1st May holiday day. Thank you for the performance & the story. Very pleasant voices to listen too, & the accents were believable. I had not heard of this author, Silvain Neuvel, & listened because it was a freebie. I’ll look out for this author now.

Thank you - an enjoyable respite
