Publisher's Summary

When the first call from the stars comes, do we even dare to answer?

Life changes for everyone in general - and for physicist Dean Matthews in particular - when astronomers detect a radio signal from a nearby star. First Contact forces humanity to face hard questions, and do it fast. Every answer spawns new questions. Every solution sets in motion a new and more daunting crisis to challenge Dean, his family - and an expanding number of interstellar civilizations - or generations to come.

What the Critics Say

"One of the most original, believable, thoroughly thought-out, and utterly fascinating visions ever of what interstellar contact might really be like." (Dr. Stanley Schmidt, Editor, Analog magazine)

    Story
    "Way too many rough edges"
    What disappointed you about Origins?

    Narrator: bland, distracting number of mispronunciations.Story: poorly edited - way too many anachronisms


    How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

    Editing - often uses sci-fi convention of "such and such was developed in the 20th century", but also used "photoshop" and "Enron" as verbs within a few hundred words of each other.


    How could the performance have been better?

    Narrator should perform, not read the text. Perhaps acting classes would help. Also look up words and pay attention to context to avoid mispronunciations. Example: - text: "suspect everyone" ... suspect is a verb - narrator: "Suspect: everyone", emphasis on 1st syllable of 'suspect', making it a noun. A dumb mistake unfortunately repeated several times


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    storyline had a lot of potential


    Any additional comments?

    purchase if discounted, otherwise give it a pass
