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.

Outstanding!

This short piece has a big impact. The mystery central to the plot is great fun in and of itself, while ultimately delivering a deeper message that is unexpectedly moving.

Sylvain Neuvel does it again!

Sylvain Neuvel has a talent for depicting what it is to truly be human through the thoughtfulness of his characters. The plot was compelling as always, I only wish it could go on for hours more!
All in all another 5/5 star book by my favourite author.

I was not expecting that......

With multiple voice actors the story and characters are easy to follow and kept me enthralled. The story went in a direction I was totally not expecting, too bad it was so short.

Interesting, but a little cheesey

I found myself rolling my eyes at some of the cheesey or unrealistic conversations, but it didn't hinder my overall appreciation of the book. I found the story unique and interesting. Would recommend for some easily listening.

One of the most creative stories I've heard lately

Creative, engaging, entertaining, informative - as a past English teacher, this would have been marked high for creative writing... loved it!
