Story4 out of 5 stars 4,612
Two astronomers have detected a strange, pulsing signal from deep space. Within hours, the US government goes into lockdown, restricting airspace and scrubbing scientific data. Was the signal an intercepted communication revealing alarming plans for an enemy’s military strike? Or has humanity at long last found proof of extraterrestrial life?

The ending was a refreshing departure from the standard science fiction fare.

Compelling & Well Done!
Reviewed: 12-11-24
I started listening to this on a whim, unsure if I’d truly stay or be interested- not expecting to be- but I was. The story is well paced and interesting.
The voice acting is superb (something I find happily with almost all audible originals).
I think I would have liked the ending to be something more- because it could have opened it up for more story telling- a part two and three. However, I’ll take it for what it is and say that it left me with the feeling that the main character had truly developed and changed- so overall, still great!
Definitely would recommend as an easy, compelling, and entertaining listen.

Told with humour and heart, Herc gives voice to the silenced characters, in this feminist, queer (and sometimes shocking) retelling of classic Hercules myth.

An interesting & wonderful take on Hercules
Reviewed: 12-05-24
I love Greek Mythology- and this unique take on the story of Hercules was even better than I thought it would be. I loved hearing the story through the people who knew and interacted with him. I loved getting to know new characters and hearing from ones I’ve already known and loved.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys stories from Greek mythology and craves more.
The voice actors were fantastic and made the story even more compelling.
Truly one of my most favorite books in a long time.
