About this listen
“Too bad 21st century telescopes were poorly designed & the supposedly habitable planets found were actually desolate.”
Elton Cuauhtemoc John is taken hostage before he can start his dream job. Now, he & a multicultural science team are racing against humans’ inevitable self imposed demise to invent an Faster Than Light phone. After all, how useful is another Earth after civilization collapses?
Civilization goes through cycles. Humanity’s First Test explores how humans will react to encountering a similarly advanced alien civilization. With a supremely powerful AI predicting world events, humans must navigate through internal struggles, new challenges & interference from a new galactic neighbor. Will we default to old habits of conquest & exploit or will we move beyond to a galactically inclusive society and pass our first test?

This narrator needs to narrate my life!
Space operas aren't my speed personally. The author wrote the story well. But, the narrator was absolutely amazing! She was not dull or monotone. Her inflections and character transitions were spot on.

Intriguing, Fresh
Humanity is faced with relocating and limited tools to discover other earth like options. Humanity’s race to create a new device to find truly viable and habitable worlds, working with AI, new challenges, and facing adaptations is just beginning.
The author, Ignacio Ramirez Bautista, slowly builds the narrative outlining in great detail the different cycles and generations of folks reaching to solve the problem faced by humanity from different points of view. The storyline revisits familiar premises but adds intriguing twists and concepts, making it engaging and fresh. For instance, the concept of sending humans out on an exploratory mission with the crew not knowing they cannot return or discover a viable planet before their demise in space adds a unique dimension not previously explored. The characters are well-developed and further the narrative smoothly. The dialogue is rich and provides further depth to the narrative and characters.
Kaitlyn Craft, the narrator, provides a rich experience for the listener. Her delivery is flawless, she projects appropriate levels of energy and appropriately placed inflections. She transitions from each character smoothly. Given the epic length of this book, she did an amazing job of consistency and moving the story forward at a steady pace.
This is an interesting book that keeps the listener engaged and thinking. I would have preferred and appreciated having it in multiple books rather than in one epic-length production as it becomes too much at once.
There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.

Not interesting
Story is not cohesive and lacks structure. The characters are poorly developed and the uninteresting.
