THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The alternate history first contact adventure Axiom's End is an extraordinary debut from Hugo finalist and video essayist Lindsay Ellis.
Truth is a human right.
It’s fall 2007. A well-timed leak has revealed that the US government might have engaged in first contact. Cora Sabino is doing everything she can to avoid the whole mess, since the force driving the controversy is her whistleblower father. Even though Cora hasn’t spoken to him in years, his celebrity has caught the attention of the press, the Internet, the paparazzi, and the government—and with him in hiding, that attention is on her. She neither knows nor cares whether her father’s leaks are a hoax, and wants nothing to do with him—until she learns just how deeply entrenched her family is in the cover-up, and that an extraterrestrial presence has been on Earth for decades.
Realizing the extent to which both she and the public have been lied to, she sets out to gather as much information as she can, and finds that the best way for her to uncover the truth is not as a whistleblower, but as an intermediary. The alien presence has been completely uncommunicative until she convinces one of them that she can act as their interpreter, becoming the first and only human vessel of communication. Their otherworldly connection will change everything she thought she knew about being human—and could unleash a force more sinister than she ever imagined.
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press
"Axiom’s End is one of the most unique science fiction novels in years. It’s a heartfelt story of alien first contact, but, luckily, unlike so many “big idea” sci-fi books, it’s utterly unpretentious." --SYFY.com

What killed it a little bit for me was the reading. While the reader was obviously very engaged and used her voice to give life to the characters(especially Ampersand), there were two things I didn't like at all:
- in the beginning of the book, all the spoken parts are really quiet and very hard to understand. This gets better as the book progresses.
-I disliked the emphasis and the imagined punctiation the reader set. There was more than I imagine would likely be in the text. While I understand the wish to make the text seem more.. alive, I do wish the reader hadn't tried to make the text their own. It made the main character really annoying and whiny when I don't think she needed to be as per the pure text.
All in all, I still recommend audiobook if you don't have the time or the ability to read, otherwise I'd recommend reading the book yourself.
interesting, fast paced story about connection
