“Transmission is riveting, unexpected, and firmly rooted in strong psychological profiles backed with thriller and sci-fi elements: what more could readers wish for? (Just the quick publication of Book Two, Arrival.)” (Midwest Book Review)

The number-one best seller!

From number-one worldwide best-selling fantasy author Morgan Rice comes a long-anticipated science-fiction series debut. When SETI finally receives a signal from an alien civilization, what will happen next?

A 13-year-old boy, dying of a rare brain disease, is the only one able to hear and decode signals from outer space. SETI confirms it is a real signal.

What is the message? How will the world react?

And most of all: are the aliens coming?

I wouldn't put this in the "thriller" category necessarily, but Transmission is definitely an interesting story with some callbacks to classic scifi. I find this nod to the greats, and really the genre as a whole, tasteful and refreshing given the various modern trends out there. Some of the story is predictable and sometimes oddly repetitive, but it definitely captured my imagination and even had me choosing to sit on the sofa listening with my dogs rather than playing Xbox or watching a stream service. Definitely recommend.

Enjoyable & Refreshing

This is a good book for adolescents and adults alike. Adults should listen to what children of all ages have to say Some of it may just be useful. I enjoyed listening to it on audible. The speaker does a good job.

good YA book for adolescents and adults

A unique young adult novel where a young boy with a rare brain condition is the only human on Earth who is receiving messages from an incoming alien race. He then is the only person who can decipher radio signals which set in motion the events which has them racing to understand what all these messages could mean. My only complaint about the book is that this being a young adult novel, it treats all adults as slow and simply not understanding what's really going on, or not believing the children, and the children in the book ALWAYS seem to have all the answers. Still a solid 4 star rating because it's a well thought out plot and story.

A solid YA novel

I've been struggling with ADD and even listening to a book hasn't been easy. Then, I found this book. The writing is so well done that you can't help but picture the whole thing like your right there. I listened straight through, totally drawn into the story. Think of the movie Independence Day and how exciting it was...yes, that good. This is the first book I've read from this author & I can't wait to check out more. P.S. I really appreciated the life the narrator brought to it as well so checking his stuff out too.

Buckle Up !

Great story, narration is fine but average.. there is little voice or tone differences between characters whether male or female.

Great story, narration is basic but acceptable.

Not good. The writer certainly has potential but don't write about organizations you don't understand.

Pretty good story line. But kind of basic. Plot could have been more realistic with more military involvement.
