About this listen

When you discover a deadly threat to the solar system from your backyard

Peter Kraemer, a physics teacher with a passion for astronomy, makes a discovery that he himself can hardly believe: Stars disappear from one day to the next, with nothing left of them. The researchers he contacts provide reassuring and logical explanations for every single case. But when Peter determines that the mysterious process is approaching our home system, he becomes more and more anxious. He alone perceives the looming catastrophe. When he believes he has found a way to avert the impending disaster, he chooses to pull out all the stops, even if it costs his job, his marriage, his friends, and his life.

A difficult review to write without spoilers, but I found the main characters almost-blind obsessiveness to be well portrayed as both a positive and negative trait.
The main story itself felt like an Arthur C. Clark short story woven together with hard-sci-fi fabric.
The only downside is that, in audiobook form, the chapters of alien language aren’t needed (should be abridged?) as it isn’t possible for them to function as intended.
Looking forward to listening to the next book!
