Summary
Aliens have landed in New York.
A deadly cloud of spores has already infected and killed the inhabitants of two worlds. Now the plague is heading for Earth, threatening humans and aliens alike. Can either species be trusted to find the cure?
Geneticist Marianne Jenner is immersed in the desperate race to save humanity, yet her family is tearing itself apart. Siblings Elizabeth and Ryan are strident isolationists who agree only that an alien conspiracy is in play. Marianne's youngest, Noah, is a loner addicted to a drug that constantly changes his identity. But between the four Jenners, the course of human history will be forever altered.
Earth's most elite scientists have 10 months to prevent human extinction - but not everyone is willing to wait.

Lost its way a bit
The first third of the book is very interesting, but looses steam after that. The main character’s motivation seem a bit all over the place after a while. It’s still an enjoyable listen and the narrator does a good job.

Meandering
And 80 % longer than it should have been. WOULD have been better as a novella.

A book of 2 halves
It definitely has flaws but in saying that I really enjoyed it. I will also say that I thought some things were allegorical to COVID until I looked at the publishing date so don’t judge.
Rather than following a typical or reluctant hero. The story follows a core family in exceptional circumstances, this was refreshingly different.
I’ve listened to Better narrators who can provide characters with a distinctive voice, but I didn’t fall out with her voice and she injected personality into the narration itself.
Won’t be rushing for the next in the series would consider them.

refreshingly different
so good to had a SF story that isn't written from an over the top macho, combative POV

Potential for intrigue
Introspective family drama with a sci-fi plot, spanning global events around humanity's relationship with alien cousins. As a thought experiment, the politics was frustratingly believable, although I was confused at how the incorrect attribution of blame was so widespread. This acceptance of illogical political forces is a common theme for Kress. I enjoyed this book, though not as much as her Beggars trilogy, which was really packed with concepts and political dilemma, this felt a little smaller somehow, although maybe develops more in sequels.
Competent narration overall, although voice acting of characters was a bit unconvincing and distracting. I didn't warm to the characters particularly, due partly to the writing and partly the delivery. Not sure if I'm invested enough to read the next installment. Kress is good at confounding your expectations, weaving unpredictable narratives; I don't know where this story of interplanetary politics will go next.

Not Really Sure What I just Listened To...
I have to say that I've just finished listening to this book and, I'm afraid to say, completely baffled about what it was all supposed to be about...
It started off with a reasonable chance of going somewhere interesting; however, around half way, it became a children's book. The language changed, and the story just stopped moving in any specific direction.
Very disappointed.
