Summary

An alien signal.

Of all the things I expected to uncover while trying to make sense of the Anomaly, this didn't even enter my mind. But now, the signal has changed my understanding of everything.

The Anomaly that's suffocating Earth isn't natural, and decoding this message could be our one shot at saving the planet. The trouble is, we don't even know where to start.

What will it take to decipher the alien signal and unlock the secrets of the Anomaly? And how should we reply when we decode their message?

A lot of people don't think we should trust the aliens who are reaching out to us. I can't pretend I don't understand why. 

But with no other way of putting things right, we have to at least figure out what they're saying.

The clock is ticking until the Anomaly consumes us. The fate of humanity lies in my hands all over again.

And this time, the choices I make will echo through the cosmos...

Please Scott, get a better microphone

I enjoyed the book immensely, but it was almost ruined by the quality of the recording. The sound is almost shrill and makes for uncomfortable listening.

I listen to a lot of audio books, and this has the worst sound quality of any others (alongside the previous book in this series!) . I just don't have this problem with any other books - and it's a problem that's evident whether I listen with earbuds, headphones, or in my car. And incidentally, the revisions or edits sound like they've been phoned in.

it's such a pity when a good book and superb narration are ruined by poor technical aspects.

I very much look forward to the next book in the Earthburst series, I just keep my fingers crossed that the sound quality will be better
