About this listen
Why did they come? When they appeared across the sky, speculation wheeled around the world—the aliens were from heaven, the invaders were from hell… or they were proof that neither existed. But when they landed, curiosity gave way to suspicion and the nations reacted with nuclear force, setting off a chain reaction that left the world in ruins.
Twenty years later, instead of nearing her retirement, Dr. Elspeth Darrow struggles to forget the loss of her child and husband by plunging herself into the work of operating the last remaining hospital in San Francisco. With medical supplies running out and working herself to exhaustion, Elspeth must embark on a risky salvage mission into the heart of the Neo California danger zone.
Here, she discovers the disturbing truth: the aliens have returned. As the mystery of the aliens' purpose on Earth unravels before her, Elspeth must hide what she discovers from reactionary despots, all vying to bring Neo California under their control. Aided by a band of pre-war scientists and new-world medical students, Elspeth races against astronomical odds to reveal the terrifying truth that might save the world—or finally destroy it for good.

Brilliant story and perfect narration
I absolutely loved this great post-apocalyptic alien story that was different than your typical one. The main character, Dr. Elspeth, was inspiring and I loved the concept of simply helping even if it’s someone you’re not fond of. We could use more of that. It helped that the author is a medical doctor because Elspeth was extremely believable.
Kind of felt like a Blake Crouch book in all the best ways. Fascinating science and compelling narrative. Highly recommended!

loved the Doctor character
I enjoyed the view of a woman more my own age as the heroine. The narrator is very talented as well. full of hope and understanding of how the human condition works. Great ending.

Loved the characters
As a reader (or listener), I tend to stick with nonfiction and pretty rarely start a work of fiction and actually finish it. This book was an exception. In addition to the interesting plot, what stood out for me in this book are the characters. I finished listening to this book months ago and still find myself thinking about Elspeth, Rafa, and Ward. I’m hoping the offer treats us with a sequel.
