À propos de cet audio
PLEASE NOTE: An earlier version of this audiobook had chapters out of order, but this error has been corrected.
Truth of the Divine is the latest alternate-history first-contact novel in the Noumena series from the instant New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times bestselling author Lindsay Ellis.
The human race is at a crossroads; we know that we are not alone, but details about the alien presence on Earth are still being withheld from the public. As the political climate grows more unstable, the world is forced to consider the ramifications of granting human rights to nonhuman persons. How do you define “person” in the first place?
Cora Sabino not only serves as the full-time communication intermediary between the alien entity Ampersand and his government chaperones but also shares a mysterious bond with him that is both painful and intimate in ways neither of them could have anticipated. Despite this, Ampersand is still keen on keeping secrets, even from Cora, which backfires on them both when investigative journalist Kaveh Mazandarani, a close colleague of Cora’s unscrupulous estranged father, witnesses far more of Ampersand’s machinations than anyone was meant to see.
Since Cora has no choice but to trust Kaveh, the two must work together to prove to a fearful world that intelligent, conscious beings should be considered persons, no matter how horrifying, powerful, or malicious they may seem. Making this case is hard enough when the public doesn’t know what it’s dealing with—and it will only become harder when a mysterious flash illuminates the sky, marking the arrival of an agent of chaos that will light an already-unstable world on fire.
With a voice completely her own, Lindsay Ellis deepens her realistic exploration of the reality of a planet faced with the presence of extraterrestrial intelligence, probing the essential questions of humanity and decency, and the boundaries of the human mind.
While asking the question of what constitutes a “person,” Ellis also examines what makes a monster.

hope and despair collide.
This story drew me in and wrecked me. It speaks about Humanity, trauma, despair and hope. I enjoyed the narration of Cora the best, but the text of Kaveh. I was saddened by the ending but hope that some of the despair at be rectified in the next volume.

An intense experience
This sequel takes the original alien love story and kicks you in the feels.
The voice acting is incredible and makes you believe the intense trauma that the main characters are going through.
It does deviate from what the first book's general theme was, so if you were expecting more of the same you might be disappointed.
Contains some heavy topics that may make people uncomfortable.

Lovely follow up to a wonderful story
Stephanie Willis in another brilliant performance portraying some deeply felt emotions. the anguish at points were beautifully painful to share with the protagonist. tarnished though by a poor showing by her cast mate that left one eager for the perspective to shift back to our heroine.
thank you ms Ellis for another great story!

A tragic sequel
This one took me awhile to get through… primarily because I was frustrated with some decisions made by the characters. But here we are and I guess I’ll read book 3.

I don't know how I feel
I am still in shambles over the ending so let me just say it's not for the faint of heart. I might update the review later when I have recuperated from this existential crisis.

Intense
An excellent sequel to Lindsay Ellis's debut novel Axioms End. This tale is very intense and deals with challenging subject matter in a thoughtful and intelligent way. I am already looking forward to the 3rd volume in what is becoming my favourite science fiction series.
