À propos de cet audio
Where did mankind really come from? Why are we here? We can't understand the past until we embrace the future. These critical mysteries take center stage as Earth emerges into a galactic society that is far more perilous than anyone could have imagined. Our history is far more complicated than we could have known. Can a few brilliant minds find a way out for Earth?
One saving grace is that there are those who believe ancient clues foretell that Earth has a destiny, and if we can survive our present difficulties, we might just find out what that destiny is....
Dr. Mark Spencer was a young, up-and-coming history and anthropology professor who was all too familiar with what happens to less advanced civilizations when suddenly exposed to others of considerably higher technology. There's only one survivor, and the culture witnessing magic isn't it. When modern-day Earth suddenly finds itself on the losing end of that proposition, a team of the world's best scientists is put together to find a solution. Of course the advanced society being friendly, Earth's citizens uniting, and the world's politicians working together for the common good would help tremendously, but...what if none of that were true?

Charlie Sheen narrating??
ok
here's the deal
I like political intrigue, culture, futurism, that kinda stuff. as a story it was ok, this was listenable, but lacked depth.
my main example... ship AI introduced in once sentence, female, never heard from again... I don't get it
oh that's right
.. everybody has an AI.
narration hear me out... get it!
I am not a fan of Kafer, I took a chance and my opinion of his narration has only gotten worse
if you ever want to listen to Charlie sheen talk for 18 hours and then in a crappy female pre-op trans voice or.... or even crappier Italian accent....this is the book for you!
kafer turned what could have been an ok book into a STRUGGLE
I had zero idea who was taking
ZERO
if I had paid for this I would have dumped it early and gotten my credit back. lucky it was free, so it only cost me 18hrs of listening to Charlie Sheen
FML this was a painful listen

Strong start but lacks follow through
In all not a bad book. Good premise and interesting characters. About the halfway point I get the feeling that the book is not fully thought out.
Probably the most important dynamic is lacking, the emotional investment in at least the main characters is non existent.
The narrator doe’s a good job but still middle of the road.

First contact cubed: innovative and intriguing
Highly imaginative sci-fi that is well thought out. Performances That are a little stilted and maybe too masculine. It would also been interesting to have a woman narrator. The thinking is radical and intriguing. Like all good science-fiction Wilson creates a world highlighting our present struggles towards equity and freedom.

Aliens and sex and sex with aliens
If you take anything from this story is human males are sex gods. And even when human society is about to be obliterated there’s always time for a roll in the hay because the aliens in charge are slutty females. And they love AC/DC and rock and roll. Pretty much all humans are only good for music and sex. Not a bad story just wish there was more action though there was much “action”.

Great poyemtial unfulfilled
The overall premise of the story is sound but told through the eyes of a horny army major, it has lost potential. Also, the reader did everything in the same tone which made it hard to know who was speaking. Don't waste ypur time on this one, there are far better books around.

Has interesting plot points, but that’s about it
I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. The story has an interesting premise and the author obviously knows or has made good research to make it plausible. I just couldn’t get into the over-the-top cheese of how women are represented. The Americans are the best, France is useless, women are sex objects. Meh, skip.

Cringe
I could barely get to the plot through the cringy protagonist who seemed like a 14 year old boys idea of a man.

The amount of sexism in this book is incredible
The amount of sexism in this book is incredible. it's almost like the author went out of their way to put in as much as possible! it's also a bit of a shock that it was published in 2015.
The premis of the book was interesting and I've read lots of older science fiction so I let the first bit go. But it just kept coming, one after the other.
A few hours in and I had to stop. Thankfully it was included with Audible and free.

Hard to get through
Really didn’t like this book. Why every chapter needs to be salt and peppered by the main character’s thoughts on how hot those around him escapes me. Especially when meeting a new alien species. Just out of place.
