About this listen
It has been nearly 100 years since the Apollo moon landings, when Jack and Vladimir, two astronauts on a mission to Venus, discover a mysterious void related to indigenous life on the planet. Subsequently more voids are detected on Earth, Mars, Titan, and, quite ominously, inside a planetoid emerging from the Kuiper belt.
Jack is sent to investigate the voids in the Solar System and intercept the planetoid - which, as becomes increasingly clear, is inhabited by alien life forms. Jack and his crew will have little time to understand their alien biochemistry, abilities, behavior patterns, resilience, and technology, but also how these life forms relate to the voids.
Humankind’s first encounter with these exotic life forms couldn’t be more fateful, becoming a race against time to save life on Earth and to reveal the true nature of the voids, which seem to be intrinsically related to life and the universe itself. In this novel, the author combines many topics related to state-of-the-art research in the field of astrobiology with fictional elements to produce a thrilling audiobook.

Got better as it progressed
An interesting take on a Sci Fi story with lots of factual areas. Took a while to get into. Character voices good but occasionally missed the mark.

Lost me in the second half
I thought it started off pretty well but the story seemed to get progressively less interesting. I can't tell if this was due to the narration or not. This book probably would have been better if the narrator didn't speak in a monotone all the time.
