I don't read very many sci-fi novels, but the title piqued my interest. And I really didn't remember ordering the audio, but since it was in my queue and I had an hour's drive ahead of me, I hit the play button, and I was off of a most exciting galactic adventure without having to leave the safety of my 'auto-shell'. There are only two main characters in the novel, one of whom speaks Earth's language; the other uses a language similar to Earth's whale songs. Both are on a solo mission to find a way to save their home planets from an invasive organism that infects and kills every other living organism on the planet by harvesting all the energy, if I understand it correctly. But that technicality is only the vehicle for the relationship story of the two alien-to-each-other astronauts.
It is a fairly technical jargon-laden story, but have no fear, the narrator does an amazing job of breathing life into all the foreign technical language . . . so much so that you don't even notice nor care whether it all makes sense. Sci-fi buffs may relish all the strange-sounding words, but those of us who aren't that sci-fi savvy can still thoroughly enjoy the ride. I had a great time listening to Roy Porter vividly portray Andy Weir's one-man, one-alien struggle to maintain their respective species. Play the sample audio. But be prepared to be hooked.

Although Sandbrook touched on only 6 instances of possible highjacked histories, it does give one reason to pause and look deeper into the absolutes that we the public are bombarded with daily. Well worth listening to.

This book eloquently and understandably affirmed what my heart knew but my mind and words could not verbalize. Chapter and verse (of the Bible) were presented in a new light that helped banished the dark and murky institutionalized edicts of old. So much food for thought. A book that I will visit again and again.

The recording is a fictional store i.e. novel, but as all good novels, there is the ring of truth in its premise that makes it worth reading/listening to. I suggest that it will be worth your investment of time. It certainly was worth my time!
