Publisher's summary
“Too bad 21st century telescopes were poorly designed & the supposedly habitable planets found were actually desolate.”
Elton Cuauhtemoc John is taken hostage before he can start his dream job. Now, he & a multicultural science team are racing against humans’ inevitable self imposed demise to invent an Faster Than Light phone. After all, how useful is another Earth after civilization collapses?
Civilization goes through cycles. Humanity’s First Test explores how humans will react to encountering a similarly advanced alien civilization. With a supremely powerful AI predicting world events, humans must navigate through internal struggles, new challenges & interference from a new galactic neighbor. Will we default to old habits of conquest & exploit or will we move beyond to a galactically inclusive society and pass our first test?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,433
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story5 out of 5 stars 442
In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Ex-Army paratrooper Griffin “Fin” Brooks thought he left danger behind when his battlefield injuries forced him to pursue a new career in marine biology. But one fateful night off the coast of South Africa, a ship nearly crashes into him and his loyal golden retriever, Jacques. Not just any ship. A starship.

But those same investigators accuse Fin and his dog of crimes he didn’t even know existed.

The earthquake to end all earthquakes, the largest tsunami in human history, and worst of all, the EMP and loss of civilization.

Eamon Tauk was literally born into the Space Corps. They spent two decades forging him into a Marine. Training him to be a killer. Twisting him into a fanatic. Then they assigned him to protect Dr. Jella Duverii, a mildly subversive alien zoologist who could very well undo all the work they put into him. When the young cadet and his charge crash land on Kanaris with the survivors of their Recon battalion, they find themselves leagues away from their objective, marooned in an environment so hostile even the trees seem hellbent on killing them.

On a crisp Saturday morning in the year 2034, a spaceship unexpectedly descends onto the lawn of the White House. Four hours later, the world watched as six aliens--as human as we are--descend from their ship. Their leader, Darius, announces that they are a first-contact delegation from the planet Parmithia. They know that Earth is suffering from severe agricultural and environmental crises. Their technology could solve most of these problems. Yet such power can also be used to destroy, something that Darius and his people will not allow.

This narrator needs to narrate my life!
Space operas aren't my speed personally. The author wrote the story well. But, the narrator was absolutely amazing! She was not dull or monotone. Her inflections and character transitions were spot on.

Great Story & Even Better Narration
the book starts a bit slow like classicsci fi but it quickly sleeds up and the world building being integrated into the character's lives makes the story fuller.
there are sections of more telling but that seems necessary when the storyspands 80 ish years and several povs.
i love that the simple promise of the main character was delivered and the new promise was more difficult. then that promise is fulfilled and another, the main promise of the book is presentand fulfilled.
this definitely has more classic sci fi influence but the concepts are fresh and one of the main plots -ftl phone invention is very new and I'm glad this is not glossed over
you could argue the ending has some weird outcomes. i definitely wasn't expecting those.
can't wait for the second book!
narration- she has a great voice and varied talent. what other books has she read? she definitely made the story come alive
