Publisher's summary

A secret too terrible to keep. And too dangerous to reveal.

In the depths of an ancient Egyptian tomb, archaeologists make a baffling discovery: the mummified body of a man clad in a space suit.

Halfway around the globe, exobiologist Dr. Katherine Shepard and intelligence officer Colonel Devon Peters are summoned to the site of a downed UFO. To their amazement, they find one of the occupants alive. Even more shocking, he appears to be human.

As Shepard and Peters delve deeper into the enigma, they expose a chilling truth: aliens have inhabited Earth far longer than anyone could have imagined, and they are not alone. An ancient, hidden war is being waged, with humanity’s survival hanging in the balance.

Thrust into a perilous world of shifting allegiances and veiled motives, Shepard and Peters must race against time to decipher the aliens’ true intentions and shield humanity from a revelation too shocking to comprehend.

The Fifth Kind is a gripping, high-octane hard science-fiction thriller that will leave you listening late into the night.

Interesting Story!

This story is well-researched and is very engaging. I thought the character development was quite interesting. There weren't any dull moments in the story. Looking forward checking out the second book.

Poor Naration

I only finished this book because the story was interesting. Narrator was disappointing. I will not buy another book narrated by him.

Scattered…

I listened all the way through but not really for me. The story seamed scattered and jumbled. The storyline just really didn’t come together for me.

More of a teen book…

I wanted to like this book. Parts were decent, but overall everything was outweighed by shallow characters, weak plots, and odd interactions.

They live among us

What I liked most (without telling the story) is the reason aliens live among the humans. It was different.

I also liked the doomsday event that would end earth. I was always convinced that’s how we would go.

Better than hoped for

I enjoyed this story. I liked most of characters and their interplay was great. I liked Mr. Tiedemann's reading. He did a good job of bringing Mr. Prescott's characters to life.

The story was nail biting at times. The plot thickening to put me on the edge of my seat. Awesome.

Thank you, Mr. Prescott, for a great beginning to a new series. Thank you, Mr. Tiedemann, for bringing the story to life with your voice.

A well done sci-fi mystery

This was a well written and read story that takes place on Earth not necessarily in the future. Well thought out and researched. An enjoyable read. I received this free review audiobook and I am voluntarily leaving this unbiased review.
