Two years have passed since comet Anduru skimmed the clouds of Saturn on its way to Earth.
Kath and Nolan are looking for answers, trying to find ways to protect Earth from the possibility of an invasive alien species overrunning the planet.
The US Presidential Election changes the political landscape. With new, hostile leadership, Kath and Nolan find themselves out of favor. Lies continue to dominate social media. Perhaps the greatest threat doesn't come from the stars. Perhaps there's already a generation of vipers here on Earth.
First Contact is a series of standalone novels that explore humanity's first interactions with extraterrestrial life. Although Generation of Vipers is a sequel to Wherever Seeds May Fall, it can be listened to as a standalone novel.

The performance is great. I think my first exposure to this reader was from the first novel, but he does a really good job bringing the story to life.

From that, I found this book a huge drop off. I'd felt the ending in the first book was disappointing to me, this one was poor. It was just sort of... well, as if the author decided actually writing the ending was too much work, so... just jump to an epilogue that wraps it up.
But even before that, I've tried to think of how to express my disappointment. All I can come up with is "too much Cath."
The first book was multiple POVs, as is this one. But, this one put more focus on Cath McKenzie and, well, she wore on me quickly. In part, she's clearly the voice of the author's claimed scientific rationality. But in the text she came across as grating, annoying and I disagree with another character's statement, "drunk Cath is the best Cath." No, no it isn't. As from the first book, her actual physical description never seemed to be settled. Nolan Landis was less prominent here, a disadvantage, although some other new characters were interesting and decently drawn.
This is also a change in tone away from the first book's focus on the tension between methodical science and the twenty-four hour online news and outrage cycles demanding instant answers. None of that here, this is an alien invasion action thriller. Nothing wrong with that, per se, but I think the author's strength is more on the former, not this.
The narrator was again excellent.
