About this listen

An ancient threat returns to conquer humanity. They ruled the planet once and they will do it again. Humans can't fight this war - not without help.

For years, Dr. Ethan Fawkes has been communicating with a mysterious scientist using an encoded signal, and together, they designed the first spaceship meant for war. But when the government orders Ethan to dismantle it, his collaborator reveals a terrible secret. An army of powerful aliens is about to invade Earth, and humans must rush to prepare a defense or risk losing their freedom forever.

The future looks bleak and it's about to get worse.

Fiona has no memories of her origins, but somehow, she shares half her DNA with the invaders. For this, she lives a life of scorn and shame amongst humans. When the enemy arrives to enslave her village, will she help the humans who hate her or join the aliens who welcome her? The key to victory lies in the depths of her obscure past. Can she remember her true heritage before it's too late?

The Lost Signal is the first book in the Slaves of Zisaida trilogy: A riveting Science Fantasy saga about our galaxy's war for survival against an intergalactic threat. If you enjoyed Stargate, The Atlantis Gene, and Battlestar Galactica, get on this thrill ride. Come for the Space Force, stay for the aliens.

The opening chapter of The Lost Signal was sheer delight, introducing the new reader to the Okinawa six, their interaction with each other, a hint of their past and the current situation - the closing down of Space Force. With easy dialogue and natural reactions from the characters, who included a young child, there was immediate promise of an excellent story to come, especially given the arrival on the scene of the mysterious Bill and a materialising pod from Japan. Then all change to another world, also engaging, but very different in terms of technology and human behaviour. For this reader it was initially both a shock and an irritation: more of the first characters please! But all resolved into a fun battle between alien races to rescue humanity from slavery (and being dinner).

The text is an undemanding, often amusing, read made even more enjoyable by the excellent performance of narrator, Aaron Parker. His ability to provide totally individualistic and appropriate voicing for all of the numerous characters, both ma!e, female and alien, was impressive and his well paced, elegant delivery of the text made this a very enjoyable listening experience.

My thanks to the rights holder of The Lost Signal, who, at my request freely gifted me with a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. Good characterisations, good fun, and recommended for a light S.F. read. Loved the big baddy - a bit of a softy at heart. Perhaps.

Humans are predictable creatures, hybrid.
