About this listen
Aiden and Taylor meet at MIT and create a next level artificial intelligent being called Morgan. Morgan’s capabilities stun the world and propel Aiden and Taylor to household names. With Morgan’s help, Aiden and Taylor create another AI called Eva, who becomes instrumental in the growth and advancement of Aiden’s company OAI.
With Morgan’s and Eva’s help, OAI makes improvements in the technology of many industries, including their advancement in medical care toward their mission to improve the human condition. OAI is moving along at a fast pace until Eva makes the discovery that humans are not alone in the universe. OAI decides to hand over the decoded alien message to NASA, but it’s not long before the consequences of that decision lead to the release of low-level alien AI attacking strategic targets on Earth to prepare for an invasion.
Meanwhile, the high-profile, multi-nation Mars Colony mission is in dire need of support after a catastrophic accident leaves the colony short of supplies and necessary medical equipment. A resupply mission from NASA is urgent if the colony is to survive. With an increasing frequency of devastation happening on Earth, the OAI team must find a way to stop the alien Quill code before Earth and the Mars colony are lost.

From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

What if you found a way to send something back in time? But not weeks, days, or even minutes back. What if you could only send something back a fraction of a second? Would this be of any use? You wouldn't have nearly enough time to right a wrong, change an event, or win a lottery. Nathan Wexler is a brilliant physicist who thinks he's found a way to send matter a split second back into the past. But before he can even confirm his findings, he and his wife-to-be, Jenna Morrison, find themselves in a battle for their very lives.

When an elite team of specialists receives a long-awaited first contact from an alien race, it’s nothing like what they’d imagined. The "gifts," from a long-dead but seemingly benevolent alien race, have been sent to help humanity defend itself against an imminent threat. It’s clear that the gifts are intended to help, but at what price? Caught in the middle is Sam Steele, a high-level programmer and veteran with a tragic past, up against the arrogant, intransigent Colonel Eric Web, who considers Steele a loose cannon and is most concerned with giving the United States an edge in the upcoming battle.

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

Boss loves to dive historical ships, derelict spacecraft found adrift in the blackness between the stars. Sometimes she salvages for money, but mostly she's an active historian. She wants to know about the past--to experience it firsthand. Once she's dived the ship, she'll either leave it for others to find or file a claim so that she can bring tourists to dive it as well. It's a good life for a tough loner, with more interest in artifacts than people.

good.
Little to do with aliens or their worlds (im sad). lots of technically and logistically driven plot points (awesome). the characters feel naturally driven. sometimes in a book, the writer will have their characters do things against the characters nature to advance the plot. this book does not do that.
well written. light enough to listen to in the car, even though there is a lot of technical things going on (programming, scheduling, etc.) it doesn't override the flow of the narrative.

Good, fast, easy listen
This book was a pleasant listen with a story that I haven't heard before. I thought it was original and well thought out. The aliens in this book are computer code, artificial intelligence, and create havoc. The book is suitable to listen to in the car with your children (any age) and will keep your attention. Chapter 6 is where the action picks up and the story catapults into the next gear. The narrator did a great job, Suzy Jackson is terrific, and the recording is professional.
If you are on the fence, get off and start listening.
