À propos de cet audio

A lighthearted science fiction novel about first contact, exploration, and desperately trying not to screw up from an up-and-coming sci-fi author.

On humanity's first extra-solar mission, the exploration vessel Magellan, or, as she prefers, "Maggie", discovers an alien artifact. Deciding that finding advanced alien life is too important to ignore, Captain Allison Ridgeway chooses to return to Earth while ordering her crew to reverse engineer technology far beyond anything back home.

Meanwhile, at mission control, the governments struggle to maintain the existence of aliens a secret while also combating bureaucracy, the military industrial complex, and everyone else who wants a piece of the science that could skyrocket humanity into a new technological golden age.

Little does everyone involved know that the bumbling of a few highly evolved apes in space hasn't gone unnoticed, and the people of Earth have put themselves on a collision course with a far wider and potentially hostile galaxy.

When I really enjoy a book, it is difficult for me to stop reading it, and I finish it in no time. This is one of those books.
My only salvation is to find more books like it, or really long good books.
It's intelligent and funny, as are many of the characters. I want to burble about it, but that will cause spoilers.
Suffice to say it discusses cutting-edge science and technology, while skewering and flipping the tropes of classic sci-fi at the same time.
Read it!

Give me more like this.

This was a technically intricate and accurate story (as much as Sci-Fi can be accurate), which kept my engagement throughout the story. The narrator does a great job of giving voices to all of the characters. It's too bad this is not a series, I'd love to hear more about these characters and story.

Very enjoyable

I was looking for stress free reading, I don't need overly dramatized story lines in my novels, I use these books to relax. Throughout the story I kept wanting to listen to more, I loved the narrator, the characters were amazing (Go Felix!). Definitely a Douglas Adams feel to some parts of the story.

I really enjoyed this book.

The story has loopholes and problems with it but overall had a great idea. Some of the references were lengthy and unnecessary. The voice actress had the voices down great but the reading sounded more punctual than fluid. I finished this book because I bought it and the story was appealing but found myself wanting it to be finished.

Entertaining

Good fun!

Just the right amount of comedy for something not too campy but fun, combine with some very well thought out real science makes this a very enjoyable story for a sci-fi fan.

Perfectly light hearted

Lightheaded and refreshing. I felt the style a cross between A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and The Expense

Engaging and funny

Tomlinson's antagonists are flat, stereotypical and worse yet unnecessary. he sets up what could be an interesting premise and then pollutes it with unbelievable encounters and predictable walking cliches left and right and then to add insult to injury adds shallow military combat that reads like it was written to appeal to 16 year olds.

30% solid, 50% mediocre and 20% terrible
