A clunky story based on interesting theories

I wanted to love this book however it's primary failing was the utterly appalling and hugely distracting performance which was pretty much robotic. I'd say it sounded as if it was being read by the narrator for the very first time - but in truth, it wasn't even that well read. In fact if you don't concentrate on every word spoken and pause it to reflect on the jumble, you will completely lose track, as I did. "Performance' is again too strong a word with dialogue completely confusing the listener trying to determine who said what (all in the same low pitch monotone). I truly can't understand what would possess Steve Alten to allow such a dreadful narration for an otherwise important book. Gutted to be honest. I still don't really get what happened to whom or why; or what the significance of the prologue or epilogue was...

Surprising and Electric

I happened upon this book looking for something else but decided to give it a go. I was gripped from the start and went on an electrically charged mind expanding ride. whatever your chosen genre of novel, give this a go. You can thank me later

Great story...shocking narration

Every last word is broken into 2 syllables, high n fast then slow and low!!!!
Once you've heard it it's impossible to un- hear it... sorry...
that said a great insight and gripping fast paced story....
I highly reccomend 'NOT ALONE' series...

Maybe, just maybe, the truth is out there

An extremely compelling novel. Narrated perfectly - whatever your own considerations are (Deep State vs. Fake News), I’d urge you to at least listen to this fabulously constructed piece of literature.

Too much politics

Enjoyed this book which had an interesting storyline and was well narrated but was let down by its obsession with politics! All the bad guys where from the right all the good guys from the far left! It even has the a stereo typical portrayal of president trump while portraying clinton as some kind of moralistic fighter for the truth rather than a key cog of the ‘new world order’ that he is!

gripping and believable

loved this book. it was my introduction of audible. I was hooked after the first chapter. I love this idea of ufos and reverse engineered tech. maybe one day this will be reality.
I will consider other titles by this author with enthusiasm.

gagging for more

There's so many true parallels to this book it really makes your brain work. Brill story, character development and action. The narration is on point aswell. I need more books like this in my life... or maybe the goings on!

Enlightening

A good pathway for human consciousness to ascend soon one day, and it's true indeed

Feels like a Docu-novel

Having watched and listened to alot of Dr Greere work it seems like a re-telling of his work in a slightly different form. An enjoyable novel that has a bit of everything. Especially if you enjoy conspiracy theories.
