Über diesen Titel

It is 2019. NASA astronaut Nigel Walmsley is sent on a mission to intercept a rogue asteroid on a collision course with Earth. Ordered to destroy it, he instead discovers that it is actually the shell of a derelict space probe - a wreck with just enough power to emit a single electronic signal.

In 2034, a reply is heard. Searching for the source of this signal, which comes from outside the solar system, Nigel discovers the existence of a sentient ship. When the new vessel begins to communicate directly with him, the astronaut learns of the horrors that await humanity. For the ship was created by an alien race that has spent billions and billions of years searching for intelligent life… to annihilate it.

Listening to the story was partly difficult. the writing style changed often and the reason is hard to understand. Partly the changes fit partly they don't.

In total it is in interesting read but I would recommend other novels first if you haven't read them yet.

Hard to find the right rating

Naration is good and fits the storytelling quite well. The story is complex, but compelling. Although it aches under somewhat confusing writing/storytelling. Especially towards the end, it needs some attention and focus to get the gist.
Overall a good novel which sets up the Galactic center series nicely.

Complex story with a few weak points
