About this listen

It is 2076: Lancer, Earth’s first starship, is on a mission to find interstellar civilizations. Although astronaut Nigel Walmsley’s experiences with alien encounters make him the expert, no one believes Nigel’s theory that machines are the dominant intelligent beings left in the galaxy and that their purpose is to annihilate all organic life.

Then the explorers discover once-living planets where only machines remain – and ruined worlds where fugitive survivors must evade omnipresent and lethally advanced A.I. warships. By the time the crew of Lancer realizes that Nigel is right, it will be too late – for the machines have already found Lancer…and Earth.

Some interesting ideas, but overly long

The story dragged in places and at times it almost lost me. I stuck with it though and it was rewarding in its own way. Nigel Walmsley, a crew of scientists and engineers strike out for the stars in their near light speed ship. They discover life is being stunted by the makers of "the Watchers", powerful satellites which attempts to keep life from developing.
