About this listen

A secret too terrible to keep. And too dangerous to reveal.

In the depths of an ancient Egyptian tomb, archaeologists make a baffling discovery: the mummified body of a man clad in a space suit.

Halfway around the globe, exobiologist Dr. Katherine Shepard and intelligence officer Colonel Devon Peters are summoned to the site of a downed UFO. To their amazement, they find one of the occupants alive. Even more shocking, he appears to be human.

As Shepard and Peters delve deeper into the enigma, they expose a chilling truth: aliens have inhabited Earth far longer than anyone could have imagined, and they are not alone. An ancient, hidden war is being waged, with humanity’s survival hanging in the balance.

Thrust into a perilous world of shifting allegiances and veiled motives, Shepard and Peters must race against time to decipher the aliens’ true intentions and shield humanity from a revelation too shocking to comprehend.

The Fifth Kind is a gripping, high-octane hard science-fiction thriller that will leave you listening late into the night.

Saved by the narration

This has the potential to be a good story with a good plot and suspense. However, the writing isn’t good and both the writing and dialogue are cheesy/cliché.

Debating on continuing the series.

Disappointing writing, lackluster performance

Disappointing writing - this reads like it was written by a precocious teen who mostly has an impressive vocabulary, but has favourites that limit his overall word choice. Sometimes descriptors are either clearly off or jarringly self indulgent, a la Danielle Steele for the dumbed-down- Michael-Crichton set. The performance is lackluster, boring, and unsophisticated. There, I said it. 😳
