About this listen
When the evidence points to two realities, which will you believe?
Two astronomers have detected a strange, pulsing signal from deep space. Within hours, the US government goes into lockdown, restricting airspace and scrubbing scientific data. Was the signal an intercepted communication revealing alarming plans for an enemy’s military strike? Or has humanity at long last found proof of extraterrestrial life?
Caught between two mind-blowing possibilities, Dr. Veronica Chapel leaves her job as a high school science teacher to search for answers with her old friend Malcolm Feldman, a determined journalist, and Ada Park, a brilliant astronomer. Oh, and it also happens to be Dr. Chapel's one chance to redeem her destroyed scientific reputation, no pressure...
As the group digs deeper, they uncover layers of mystery that challenge their grasp of the universe and their place in it. With time running out and the world hanging in the balance, they must navigate a tangled web of corporate secrets, government interference, and ethical dilemmas on a high-stakes journey to uncover a truth that will upend our understanding of the cosmos—and ourselves.
The Signal is directed, edited, and scored by Mark Henry Phillips.

Well performed, poor story
The writer made the critical mistake of acknowledging some tropes and their existence, only to have some of their characters fall into classic mistakes. Without going into spoilers, the premise of the story is significantly more interesting than the execution of it. Others have attempted similar and done better.

Worth the time
This was one of the best "full cast" audiobooks I've listened too,
The main narrator, Paget Brewster, was spot on in her interpretation.
The producers had just the right level of support sound, not overpowering.
The story was short and complete with the situation one that the world will face one day I'm sure!!!
Again, worth the time, glad I selected.

Thought provoking
The story was too short so much was rushed and created giant holes in credulity. But the concept was sound and clever.

Couldn't put it down - short but good
Very, very well done. I don't usually go for dramatised audiobooks but if there are more of this quality, I may have to rethink my perception.
The story did get a bit over the top in places but hey, it's not trying to be a scientific report. The drama held me to the end.
Definitely worth a listen.

Unlikable MC
The performances are fine if not by the numbers, story okay with a lame ending, all let down by an incredibly unlikable main character.

It was an okay take on the message from space genre
The acting was very radio play, a little over the top and the dialogue very by the numbers. It was an okay way to kill some time.

Good background listening
Grabbed this on a whim whilst I was weeding the garden. it was entertaining for the most part and helped the time go by quickly.
An interesting take on the whole first contact idea but unfortunately it died a bit towards the end.
Worth listening to if you like this genre but could have been a little more interesting with a few plot tweaks.

Very Emersive
It was like watching a movie, not just listening to a story. Instead of the usual listening to a book being read, there were background noises of doors opening or phones ringing. Very immersive experience. The actual story was engaging and interesting. Recommend for a quick listen even if aliens arn’t usually your thing.
