About this listen

The galaxy is vast, and not everything is what it seems. The invasion we always feared is here.

This begs the question: what do the invaders fear? If not us, then what…or who?

What happens to the would-be peacemakers when they find themselves in the middle of something else? Something dangerous, something highly advanced...and something familiar?

If humanity is wise, we will prepare for everything we can imagine. But we cannot prepare for what we cannot imagine.

It might be benign, it might be malign, or it might be a sign.

You just have to know where to look.

What a wonderful story! I wish I could go! Melissa would never go without the kids though, and I could not go without her. However, if those of us who wanted to, could get off this ship before the fools run it onto the rocks and rip the bottom out, drowning us all in the cold, foaming waters…

Wonderful

I enjoyed this listen a lot. As with most of his works, the ending was hard to predict. I loved the comedy of finding out what the alien visitors were really up to.

I have read and enjoyed many of Alan dean Foster’s novels and found this to be sad at best
You expect us to believe that someone chosen to represent the US military would turn depressed at the first sign they were going to a new world
A kindly professor would wish to drop asteroids on the Middle East?

Disappointing drivel

This story is absolutely worth the time.

This story not only goes in an amazing direction based on earth history but it is also very humorous. Foster has an excellent sense of humor and he can catch you off guard with a witty take on the concepts included.

I’m sorry to be vague but I’m trying not to spoil some surprises….thank you Alan Dean Foster!

An Excellent, Unique Story

I have read or listen to almost all of Fosters books and found this one to be totally uninspired. The characters where uninteresting and story flat.No suspense or real mystery. I was easily able guess what was going to happen.I hope he can do some better work to the future.

Poor

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Aliens show up, make demands, and abscond with the human delegation sent to negotiate. there is lots of dialogue, but nothing happens. at all. ADF’s most disappointing novel to date and I’ve been reading them for 40+ years.

spaceship shows up. lots of talking. the end
